#Fiddlehead Ferns

[holts-knees]

This journal page is Old [from my trip to see my partner in June] but life has kind of been a shitshow since I got home from that and I kept not wanting to post it because its a happy thing and "didn't feel right" to post when *I'm* not happy. But the more time goes on, and the harder things get, the more I realize we have to make our OWN joy sometimes. and Choose it, even when it feels impossible. So in the spirit of that, here are some cute things I Did/Saw/Ate/Bought/Made in Alaska this summer

Fiddlehead Ferns

The Emperor's Fiddlehead Soup

Not gonna lie, this looks *really* good and I want to make it, but the big issue is fiddleheads

As far as I can tell, they're not farmed, only wild-foraged, and they're only in season for a very short time (April / May). You can get them shipped while they're in season though!

What I'm curious about: What do y'all think an acceptable alternative might be while waiting for fiddlehead season to roll around again?

Transcription for recipe below:

Ingredients

chopped fiddleheads knob of butter 1 onion, chopped 1 clove of garlic, minced 1 tablespoon of flour half a pan of chicken stock assorted vegetables (potato, leek, carrot), chopped heavy whipping cream salt and pepper

Melt the butter in a large pot over a hot fire. Do not burn. Stir in the onion and garlic until softened. Add flour. Continue stirring. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add fiddleheads and vegetables. Raise away from the fire, simmer until vegetables are tender. Stir in the cream, season, and serve.

Before the last week of June, which is when the monsoons are predicted to reach the foothills of Kumaon, all hands are on deck to complete the metal work at the site located in Nathuakhan.

All the stone walls are up and currently Mr. Puran and his team are working to finish the RCC tie beam so that the work on the lighter part of the building can begin.  We have made plans to cover the entire site in tarpaulin sheet to make sure that the work carries on even during the full monsoon blast.

You can read more about how it started here!

Fiddleheads at $15 a fucking pound?

I was walking into a certain Farm Store near Hampshire College and it dawned on me to ask when they would get fiddleheads in - the clerk said they already had them. As I was rounding the corner to see them, I said to my bf: "I wonder what they are charging?" FIFTEEN DOLLARS A FUCKING POUND! It takes @ a pound to make a couple of quiches - but at that price I will go along the roadway and cut my own! Last year I balked at a farm stand selling them for $8/lb, but they only come up around the start of May and once the ferns open up - they are not good to eat. I will search other farm stands in the area when I go out shopping - but they can keep theirs for $15/lb!!!! Oy, Gevalt!
