Well, good afternoon from Rara Avis Fine Foods at the House of Found Goods.
The weather is particularly snotty here today; with rain/snow, rain/snow, continually. So much for the weather forecast that was calling for clearing and cold. More like cold and freezing rain. Too bad, as the night sky was supposed to be pretty cool tonight, with the moon hanging right beneath the Pleiades, looking like a basket. Harumpf!
Well, at least I got the first installment of Day Lilly Shoots, before the rain came. I hope to get more, but April is such a persnickety month, that I may not, either. I will do my best, and if not, then the juice I have left over will just go to fiddleheads, or garlic mustard, or something. Here's the first set of spring pickles; warnings and all.
Here's what it says, if you can't quite make it out:
This probably won't prevent me from getting sued, but at least I can say I used due diligence to inform consumers. Who knows what'll happen with the feds, these days. :(

A WORD OF CAUTION:
Most of us have digestive systems that are no longer familiar with wild-crafted edibles, especially the “bitters”.
With that in mind, it is more then wise to follow the basic rule of thumb for all new foods: Try 1 or 2; wait a few hours, and if there are no ill effects, assume that they are safe for you to eat.
It is NEVER advisable to eat a whole jar of pickles in any case, and these shoots are no exception; they are meant to be a garnish, only. Please eat sensibly. :)

These look beautiful. I just got back from walking the dog and we spotted a ton of shoots. We will go back later tonight to get some in our gathering bucket.
