The Famine Foods Database:
Plants that are not normally considered as crops are consumed in times of famine. This botanical-humanistic subject has had little academic exposure, and provides insight to potential new food sources that ordinarily would not be considered.

Hi, granny!
Happy Valentine’s Day! Yeah, I know. Don’t want wine and roses unless it’s a grape arbor and a rose bush. At least that’s what I tell my husband!
Busy day today...shopping...freeping...yard work...washing clothes...cooking, and more freeping.
Just when I think I’ve caught up reading this thread I’m even more behind than ever!
Went with my mom to my dad’s grave site today and promised him we’d somehow turn this country around.
Do I remember correctly that you are 3/4 Cherokee? If you are did you ever make any turquoise jewelry? I have some beautiful bracelets and rings that a Navajo Indian lady made for me almost 30 years ago. She said the stones came from the Bisbee mine. She was a real artist. Tried to find her @15 years ago, but she had died.
Hopefully spring will be here soon although it’s still really cool here.
Take care!
