Good to see you back here again! ...Hi Annonymouse. Good to see you back here again! I'm growing my own amaranth out at Sleeping Cougar Acres. As I go right by your place on my way there, I'll drop some off for you. The leaves wilt immediately after picking, but if you remove them from the stems and soak in cold water they perk right up. I then drain and dry them in my colander. They'll keep in the fridge without wilting for up to 3 days after that, or you can use them right away.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-31524469442675440222010-08-23T15:51:25.627-07:002010-08-23T15:51:25.627-07:00Hi Laurie
"....amaranth leaves...." who&...Hi Laurie<br />"....amaranth leaves...." who's your dealer? I mean, where can I buy some? I love amaranth grain in porridge, but I never knew about the leaves.... would the leaves happen to come from your local Farmers Market?<br /><br />AnnonymouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-52226560249927195452010-08-22T10:35:16.666-07:002010-08-22T10:35:16.666-07:00Rosiecat, that is too funny.

I'll keep my eyes open for pomegranate blend. In the mean time tonight's salad will be amaranth leaves, grape leaves, green onion, blueberries, olive oil, sea salt and sherry vinegar. (Gotta love having a friend with a vineyard. Fresh grape leaves are very tasty.)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-18588749183653023772010-08-22T06:41:54.190-07:002010-08-22T06:41:54.190-07:00OK, Laurie, this madness must stop. I just bought...OK, Laurie, this madness must stop. I just bought a fancy new vinegar too! Mine is a pomegranate balsamic blend of some sort, and I haven't tried it yet. But I bought it after hearing its praises sung at my local natural foods store, and I love products that come with personal recommendations (even if they are from the shop workers!).Rosiecat24https://www.blogger.com/profile/07219527037186545061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-51445095522960941932010-08-21T08:12:42.895-07:002010-08-21T08:12:42.895-07:00Meghan you make me laugh! I'm sure Wednesday ...Meghan you make me laugh! I'm sure Wednesday would love having her own place, complete with staff to wait on her hand and foot. Oh, wait, she already has that. Hubby and are are but servants in HER home. <br /><br />Seriously, she hasn't always been a barfer, well not a regular barfer anyway. She's upped the frequency in the last year, but after 17 years we're attached to her, so we deal with it. We clean up and keep her comfortable. She is a very senior citizen after all. Hope someone treats me that well when I'm 90.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433459858260551520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316487893146431972.post-39571526839919440642010-08-21T07:34:19.787-07:002010-08-21T07:34:19.787-07:00"Our 18-year-old cat is a barfer."?!?!?!..."Our 18-year-old cat is a barfer."?!?!?! If anyone in my household were described as a barfer, I would have more than paper towels for them- they'd be in their own place :)Meghan (Making Love In The Kitchen)http://www.meghantelpnerblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
