They even included a recipe in the following newsletter. http://campaign.r20.constantcontact.com/render?llr=ukt9slbab&v=001gKIdF6_QMym0qgZ-KANGeBvRVX0t9vwXSoZUsE7lrV9Jke8kDkod_qsnuC7TQ329tco0VBh0ZDxUvgYJBzy3YhJ4mGtvieCpfTUDO2rkLa1Nm-_rplpfAg%3D%3D I was surprised to see ramps for sale at the farmer’s Market in Madison WI this coming weekend.

Did you do it just for me? I have been so curious about ramps. I see the trucks selling them along side the road everywhere now. I wish you would have said how much they cost because I am going to stop and buy some now, and want to have the cash on hand. lol I can't wait to try them! :snuggle: I am so glad you wrote this.

Even having the mowers cutting the shoulders of the road leaves the area smelling like onion/garlic :yes: . Here we have both wild onions AND ramps. Just watch out for the chiggers while digging in the grass. For such tiny creatures they sure leave an itchy spot for WEEKS - at least on me. I should get off my rump and harvest some ramps and onions. As our economy continues to tank, free groceries will become a boon. And I'm blesses with both a freezer AND a dehydrator. :snoopy: I live in North Ga and it’s just about ramp time here.

I was born and raised in WV and always loved it when my dad would go out and get some ramps. I have been living in Michigan for the last 4 years and was surprised that no one knew what a ramp was. They all thought that I was crazy...LOL...My mom and me were walking through a park during spring when all the snow finally melted and found what seemed like millions of ramps all over the place. No one even touched them. We smelled like ramps for a month. Our favorite way to cook them is to clean them, lay them whole on a cookie sheet, drizzle some oil on them (not a lot, just enough so they won't stick) and bake them until they are tender. I always put a little bit of vinegar over mine. I love them! Thanks for posting these recipes, I will be sure to try them when ramp season comes back around. I LOVE ramps!

I will just have to do the same with other things like leeks, mexican green onions and the like. Of course, anything that includes bacon and onions has my vote! Excellent new brooder! My chicks are 2.5 weeks old today and as of last night we had to put a screen on the top of their box/brooder. They are now flying to the top of the feeder and water fountain! The box is a good 3 feet tall, but we just want to ber certain! Enjoy all of your FIDS - (feathered and furry Kids)! Excellent recipes, pictures and explanations of the ramps.
