oh yes--a recipe.

only milkweed- still considered a weed, is getting rarer and rarer here in the NY area, and i suppose i shouldn't be collecting them to eat. chicory and thistle survive.. chicory thrives in NYC-it is the most common 'road side' plant along the edges of highways.

i have collected daylily flower buds to eat, but they are so cheap in the chinese grocery (1lb of dried flower buds are just $1!) that its hardly worth the effort to collect them. --and common daylilies are so pretty. (but my garder was filled with fancy hybrid types mostly!) the common ones had a spot in the back by the compost heap.
