Kudzu is a reward

  How odd that most people will never taste kudzu. It may grow around them and they may see acres of kudzu and they will never know what it tastes like. Have they heard someone say something about kudzu? "It is a weed!" 

You cannot believe everything you hear. Kudzu is a super plant and a survival plant. Kudzu is totally edible, palatable and high quality.

Kudzu is coming

  But first I need to make tea with kudzu!

Collage Event

 I would like people to make comments. I would like people to follow this blog. I would like for people to make collages with me about the Buddy System. I don't believe it will happen. I used to believe it would happen. I do not now.

When are you going to taste kudzu juice?

Brownies without kudzu

  I have made kudzu brownies every year for over a decade. This week I never put kudzu in the brownies. I am using the kudzu in water and to make hot kudzu tea. I drink the water in the morning almost like a tincture. It is so sweet. I think people are so crazy to buy greens when we have so much kudzu in the South of the US. It is so sweet and it is so healthy for us. https://cop23.unfccc.int/news/over-25-of-world-s-land-will-dry-up-if-paris-goals-are-missed  Meanwhile, growing food will become more difficult and so few people know about kudzu. 

Please read this book about kudzu? http://www.ebookdb.org/reading/GF111EG8151C3A2A76GBG269/The-Book-Of-Kudzu--A-Culinary--Healing-Guide by a scientist and his Japanese wife from Stanford University. 

Eat Your Greens

 A sign could say: Kudzu is Food where there are large expanses of kudzu. Would anyone notice?
