The Try One New Thing A Day (or Week) Thread

Well, that's a whole new kettle of pinecones. Why didn't you say so before?

Can't you get a woodchipper and toss 'em in or something? Sounds like a fire hazard. Every year I hear about so many horror stories of dried out Christmas trees starting fires.


Woodchippers are not as easy to come by as some might think.

How much wood could a wood chipper chip if a wood chipper could chip wood?
 
But they had one in the movie Fargo! I just figured one could just walk into the local Wal-Mart and get one!

Why would I want to walk into the local Walmart? I'd be better off just burning the house down myself with gasoline. :|

Also, I haven't driven either, unless you count that one botched driving lesson I had with my brother that couldn't continue because his transmission is fucked.
 
I didn't exactly try it...but I almost bought some fiddleheads from the store the other day. I got up the nerve to try them even though their appearance freaks me out, but then I saw the price $5.99/lb.:eek: Yeah...nope. Not gonna happen. Maybe sometime in the future if I find them dirt cheap I'll give them a try.

They are so light though in weight, maybe you'd only need a little? I've never seen them before except in pictures.
 
I want to try fiddleheads! They aren't really around here in the West. :(
I'm shocked that they don't have them in your store. I've never knew they existed until a few months ago.

I thought about that, but they were under that stupid water sprayer so they were drenched. I really hate those sprayers.

Not available here, no. :( I feel like they are a common wild-harvested thing, somewhere over there closer to where you are... Like ramps. We don't get those either. But I'm not sorry about that, cause I don't eat many onions. No fresh peanuts either, and that's a real shame. :sigh: I don't know where I heard about fiddleheads, probably in some book I read as a kid.
 
I have a cookbook which discusses fiddleheads; the book covers a geographical area that extends to southeastern Canada, including PEI, which is apparently where they're found. The book says that they need to be picked when they're very young because they get too bitter if you wait too long. Or something like that.
