Comforting images no longer comfort me.

And barring any lapses in sanity, that’s where I’ll be instead of here for awhile. If you miss me, there are well over 650 entries in the QueryLog now. Make a dent in it or read the dictionary cover to cover before you bitch.

A Wolf had been hurt in a fight with a Bear. He was unable to move and could not satisfy his hunger and thirst. A Sheep passed by near his hiding place, and the Wolf called to him.
“Please fetch me a drink of water,” he begged, “that might give me strength enough so I can get me some solid food.”
“Solid food!” said the Sheep. “That means me, I suppose. If I should bring you a drink, it would only serve to wash me down your throat. Don’t talk to me about a drink!”
Take that, subspace.

Re: This is my yard, suckers
Lots more too—sword fern, epiphytic fern, lady fern, bracken fern.
I have never eaten them though. I think the bracken fern is the closest(?) to the ostrich fern(?) that is in Canada that is the best to eat, but that’s from distant memory so it might be wrong.
There are a lot of edible plants here but the field guide says most of them are slightly carcinogeous so I only eat the salmon berries. Actually I only chew them up and then spit out the seeds because they grow like crazy wherever they aren’t trampled or killed by non-native ivy and blackberry.

Re: This is my yard, suckers
Yeah, the Ostrich fern is the variety around here. They're considered a delicacy to some, coming into season soon, too. They're cooked similar to asparagus - sauteed with butter and a little salt - not over-cooked - still firm to the touch. They have a wild taste to them; some would say an acquired taste.
