Removes some of the "sliminess", if you are not a fan of it (I like it, myself).
I will likely continue to quick cook mine, EXCEPT when I have older, tougher nopal I want to cook, where the boiling breaks down the toughness.
Tip: Scramble the eggs separately, adding the eggs to this, the eggs bind to the liquids and makes cactus-tomato-egg-drop-soup, LOL. Which is fine, but not what I was aiming for. #cactus#gardening#food
That one morning I got more raspberries than I could eat. I had 8 raspberry bushes in a hedge along my driveway that kept me busy all summer long. Needless to say much of them went into jams and pies. #gardening#fruitsfriday#pdx#harvest#urbanfarming
Well, the lost cockatiel is off to a vet that helps lost birds find their humans. In other news, the rose cutting I took a coupla years ago has its first bud ever. Not sure what colour it is - my practice is to take pruning lengths & stick them in compost, then hope for the best. Seems to work well. #gardening@gardening
Interesting, saw someone selling rooted grape cuttings at the farmer's market at $30 each. (I have so many in pots in my backyard which I cannot give away, LOL). #gardening#grapes
Big time hog wrestling between 2 males. The bully hog got himself a drink, then went back into the hut, leaving the other one to forage for about 10 minutes. Then out he comes again, rolls the other hog away, gets a drink, & back inside. The attacked hog continued to forage after the 2nd battle, then wandered off home. #hedgehog#gardening@gardening
All hostas are fully #edible - from root to shoots to stems to foliage to flowers. Roots/shoots/leaves taste like combo of asparagus & endives - cook them up, in similar ways. Flowers can be sugared & they taste like raw honey.
