Spoiler alert: Popeye's and KFC can't touch this.

And this is still only the beginning with the nettles...
I don't know about green eggs and ham. But I can tell you about some green pancakes
and bacon.
Oh yeah, and T-Claw was in town. That explains everything.
Ohhhhh-hohoho...
Hohoho!
Hohohoaaa, yawwwhhhhhh!
Not pictured: Oregon grape-infused honey for the syrup.
Uh-huh.

Pacific Snapper, Nettle Cornbread, & Parsnip Pear Soup
2/28/10
Dinner Club goes wild.
First time cooking fish. Marinating in balsamic, garlic, s&p I think?
Removing the "woody" cores from parsnips. Soup recipe here:
http://www.care2.com/greenliving/roasted-parsnip-and-pear-soup-recipe.html
Pre-roast. I used last summer's pear sauce in place of fresh pears.
Post-roast.
Don't remember what cornbread recipe I used but whatever milk was called for I blended the nettles up with it.
Cornbread and cast iron are best buds.
Half the roasted 'snips pureed with milk.
Rest of the roast, blended.
Gotta get that golden brown!
Double the dinner documentation.
Pacific Snapper (aka Rock Cod) atop fresh dandelion greens.
Roasted Parsnip-Pear Soup with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction. Helllla good. If you need winter comfort food, seek no further.

Picking stinging nettles with Callie Jan and Joanna. You'll see why.
Purple!
Joanna demonstrates how to eat nettles raw without hurting yourself:
Step 1: Grab a leaf by its topside.
Step 2: Fold the underside in on itself.
Step 3: Once you've folded so that only the top side of the leaf is on the outside, pinch it, squeeze it, fingernail it, scrunch it, and generally pulverize it with your fingers without letting it come unfolded.
Step 4: Eat it! (Hint: Don't try to unfold it once it's in your mouth. Chew it for a while before you try to taste it and you won't get stung.) Enjoy the fresh green taste of young nettles! Nettles have more iron in them than spinach, and they clean your blood.
Oh yeah!
