Recipes Five
I think I'll have to add a few more pages each time to get this all done. Going to be lots of recipe posts.
Hi Donna, Loving the recipes and currently playing catch up on your past posts. That pretty plant with huge heart shaped leaves from your late May post was a common Burdock, also known as wild rhubarb. Very invasive. It would have evenually put out some lovely purple blossoms which then turn into nasty prickly burrs that grab onto everything! Horrible plants; you were wise to remove it. Hopefully you got the tap root and it won't return. Camille
Thank you so for the plant ID. I did cut it down with garden loppers. It had grown such large stalks. I suspected a distant cousin of rhubarb with the giant leaves and stalks' coloring. I got it all down and it has yet to reappear, but I didn't get the roots out. Than you for letting me know. I had never seen one. I'll nip it in the bud if it comes back to my tiny patio garden.
Monique, I used to see this small glass jar on the grocery shelves which had something that looked like beef jerky in it. I think that is what she refers to in one of the recipes.
I should find my old antique dealer's West Virginia punch recepie. She served it every Christmas at the shop. The dealers were responsible for replenishing. It got interesting.

Makes me tired just to think about it. I'm not the one who is on the bar with a lampshade on my head.
