Nettles
Wildfood for Every Table compiled by Tina Sams is a great little book. The book came out of all the great contributions to The Essential Herbalist...a small herbalist magazine. Here is a recipe from that booklet. (Please consult a field guide or an experienced herbalist when working with herbs).

Conflict Soup
Today at a local Collective, we are having a Conflict Resolution Workshop. We've had alot of internal problems at the Collective. Today is an attempt to perhaps begin to heal those issues or see if what we need to do is end our effort. I'll write more about the workshop later. Collectives are difficult beasts to maintain. I made a Vegan Soup for the day...one of those throw everything in the pot type of soups!
Here is some thrift fabric that I picked up for projects as yet to be determined. An entire piece of wool felt, wool sweater, flashy red/black print fabric and a round tablcloth on top. I will most likely make creatures or dolls with this stash.
