It's nice to have a lot of people enjoying this little guessing game.<br /><br />Ratty- I actually forgot that I told what I was going to do in John's comments. I'm tickled that you saw it there.<br /><br />Carol- My dad used to make wine, and I still have his recipe.<br /><br />John- I will publish the recipe on Associated Content, but I'll put a link when I reveal the answer.<br /><br />Rainfield- I have been known to do that in the past, but I was much younger then.<br /><br />Chuck- Yeah, I'm not a fan of fried stuff, even fritters. And you will see from today's post that this is not where these are destined to end up.<br /><br />Fortuitous Faery- How nice of you to stop by. I love Miss Igorata. They are edible, but the flowers can be bitter if not prepared in some way.<br /><br />Rose- thanks! And yes, indeed, the dandelion is an amazing plant. All parts are edible in various ways.<br /><br />Ann- Dad used to do that.<br /><br />Mother Goose- Now that is something I have not previously tried.<br /><br />Karen- a possibility, I have my dad's recipe.<br /><br />Vanilla- tea would be easy, eh?<br /><br />Tomorrow I will reveal all!Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-73567655647132338892010-04-22T23:42:02.936-04:002010-04-22T23:42:02.936-04:00To brew a tea Sharkie?To brew a tea Sharkie?VanillaSevenhttp://vanillaseven.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-17261799215315464292010-04-22T20:22:15.408-04:002010-04-22T20:22:15.408-04:00Dandelion wine?Dandelion wine?WillOaks Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00986825696455165387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-63695008392218697392010-04-22T19:56:35.253-04:002010-04-22T19:56:35.253-04:00I'm believe you will make soup.
