Wild Edibles!

The wild edible walk was amazing! We had such a great time, and the potluck was full of delicious food.

On our way to the Birch Center for the walk, we saw a katydid right on our front porch. At the time I didn't know what it was, I had never seen one before. Then during our walk we saw another! Someone on the walk identified it as a katydid. Wow.

I looked up the meaning of katydid, and found lots of information lumping them together with grasshoppers (and locust...notably the fact that they are edible! Though as a vegetarian I prefer to look at them rather than eat them, it is interesting they did appear on the wild edibles walk!)

Other than that the lesson of the grasshopper was about moving forward, leaping into the next big thing. It's been a while now...seems I may have to look it up again to refresh my memory.

Other news: Dave is doing a free talk at the East End Food Coop tonight at 7pm, for all you local Pittsburghers! It's called "Acupuncture and You" and should be very interesting, and a great place to get all your questions about acupuncture answered. He hopes to see you there!
