This weekend I stumbled on this newspaper article from the Belle Plaine Herald back in 2018, when I did a community presentation about foraging with acorns in a nearby town.  I brought acorn spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting for the attendees, and we also made racahout, a delicious historic hot acorn drink.

In all honesty, the cover drew me to this book. I was really disappointed then to find no credit to the artist anywhere inside it. I realize that AI is the new, unethical plaything of some writers and publishers, but this is the kind of image that co ...more

I highly suspect this cookbook was written by AI. It’s really the only plausible explanation. There is no author listed and it’s just hundreds of recipes with Italian names, with no intros about them, virtually no photos other than a few stock photos ...more

“There isn't a single plant on earth that doesn't carry within it the ability to heal something. For example, the bark from the cinchona tree heals malaria, turkey tail mushrooms (Coriolus versicolor) can shrink tumors, and even those little yellow dandelions that shoot up in every nook and cranny of your lawn can cool down a fever and help detoxify the blood.”
