    Default reviving an ancient ritual

    I've talked with a few folks who are not keen on the idea of putting the garlic mustard in plastic bags and sending them to the landfill. It sounds awful, but from what I've read, the seeds can withstand the heat of a compost pile, and then sprout.


    Forcmeister mentioned that he had seen recipes containing garlic mustard. This got me thinking...wasn't it the Aztecs who ate their victims after the battle? We could do the same thing! I found a couple of websites with some recipes.

    John and I will be there. I wondered about the weeds going to the landfill and I figured those in the know must know what they're talking about.

    MP & I will be there. 8:45 am on a weekend! Doesn't anybody sleep in this club!!
    I know for sure that Garlic Mustard remains sprouted well past 10 or 11 am.
    Oh well, this means we can start drinking early.
    peace

    I'll be there, Poofy has to see how the homework situation is before she commits.

    Believe in yourself? Well sure, of course. But be aware that "believing in myself" has been the root cause of most of my injuries.

    I believe Rick and I will be there. What is the plan if it rains? Will we have as much fun as the racers did this past weekend?

    I may be there. Doc's may induce mama tomorrow but they're not entirely sure. *If* they do, that means I take a week off of work and should be able to be there Saturday morning! :banana:

    If it is pouring rain, we will convert Kickapoo Out into a giant mud slide and use the creek as the splash pool.

    Lynne and I will be there and will bring some short people to help us out as well provided the weather is reasonable. Just need someone to show me what this plant looks like.

    DB / MP, didn't you get the memo? Garlic mustard is most prominent from 8:45 to 11 AM on Saturdays. ;)

    Karen / Scot, it'll just be me for the weed detail. John has to work Saturday morning.

    Hey Bex, that may be true about the mustard but good beer is prominent between 8:45 - 11:00 PM on Friday! Hey but if I'm crawling on all fours I will be closer to the plants. Always look on the bright side eh?

    Default extra shoes

    according to an article in the QCTimes today, we are supposed to bring an extra pair of shoes to change into, and a plastic bag to take the muddy ones home in, to eliminate transporting any seeds.

    Yea kiks I saw that too. I think they actually want you to throw away the shoes you wear. Another option is to pull a bag over your shoes and tape or rubber band them. Then you can toss out the bags and save the shoes. Just a thought.
