#Green Caviar

Last red and green finger lime harvest of the year. Not fully ripe, but I wanted to pick them before I moved the trees in the basement to overwinter.

Love squeezing the little pearls out of them. The green ones were the least ripe, so it was harder to do, but still so satisfying. I don't use them very often, so I just store the pulp in little containers in the freezer to have at hand whenever I need them.

Wild Foods Day

Exploring nature's pantry, discovering wild treasures, and connecting with the earth through gathering natural sustenance.

From wildflowers and berries to mushrooms and fruits, or even seaweed and kelp, Wild Foods Day is here to show appreciation for and celebrate the amazing opportunities for eating and enjoying foods that grow in the wild!

History of Wild Foods Day

For thousands of years, humans have been consuming plants and vegetation that grows in the wild. Many generations of hunters and gatherers spent their lives living off of the wild things that grew on the land, far before farmers grew cultivated crops.

While the idea of eating wild foods might feel strange, for those who have access to wooded areas and land, it’s a great way to consume clean food that has been grown without pesticides or kept with preservatives. Plus, it’s such a healthy and satisfying feeling to be able to eat “found food” that is essentially free and completely fresh.

It is important, when gathering wild foods, to be sure that the land where the foraging is taking place doesn’t have any rules against it where the plants are protected. Or if it is private property, it’s a good idea to get permission. In addition, try not to be greedy because some other animals are likely depending on these wild foods for their dinner. So be sure to leave enough to share with those others in the ecosystem, like birds, bears and more.

Wild Foods Day seems to have been started in the mid-1970s by concerned citizens who wanted to promote the idea of eating food that grows in the wild. It is likely that the inspiration behind this day came from then mini-celebrity Euell Gibbons, who was a wild food enthusiast at the time.

Today, several decades later, Wild Foods Day continues to be a popular celebration, particularly among those who are interested in getting back to a more natural style of living. So whether it’s for earth-friendly lifestyle reasons, for a scouting project with one of the kids, to supplement the grocery shop with free food, or just to know what to do when camping or hiking, learning how to live off of the land is a great idea on Wild Foods Day or any day of the year!

How to Celebrate Wild Foods Day

Looking for some fun plans for showing appreciation on Wild Foods Day? Check out some of these ideas, grab some friends, and get started celebrating!

Learn to Identify Wild Foods

For those who intend to make eating wild foods a habit, Wild Foods Day might be a good motivation to do a bit of studying in order to be able to quickly identify what is appropriate for eating and what might be dangerous. Online research or borrowing books from the local library might be a good start. Although the best way might really be to locate an expert and see if they would be interested in an apprentice tagging along as a learner!

Take a Walk in the Woods

Of course, one of the most meaningful ways to engage with Wild Foods Day would be to take a walk in the woods with a basket or bag and try foraging for food. For novices, it might be a good idea to take a reference book along to be sure everything is edible – particularly mushrooms.

Look for berries, green plants like nettles, and even flowers such as rose hips, lavender or dandelion. Many different wild herbs can also be foraged for, including wild mint, garlic mustard, clover, yarrow and so many others. A wide range of wild foods can be eaten as they are or made into excellent teas, jams, syrups and more, with just a small amount of effort and few other ingredients.

Prepare Some Wild Foods 

In honor and celebration of Wild Foods Day, perhaps it would be fun to do some food prep from those wild foods that were gathered previously. Check out some of these ideas for what to make:

Rosehip Jam These leftover bases after the rose petals fall off can be used for all sorts of yummy things in the same way berries might be used. Rosehips are rich in vitamins like A, C, D, and E, and have been important for providing vital nutrients during wartime when food was scarce. They can be found from the middle of summer to early winter, and can also be made into teas, syrups and more.

Elderberry Syrup The flowers from these berries found in the spring can make delicious cordials or even homemade champagne. Later in the season, the ripe berries can be picked to make syrups that may act as a super healthy boost to the immune system. Or the whole berries can be baked into muffins or quick breads. It’s best to avoid eating elderberries before they are cooked, though.

Wild Apples Many fruit trees grow in the wild, offering delicious opportunities for making apple butters, applesauces, pies, tarts and much more. Wild apples are often smaller than cultivated ones, and be sure to check for worms or other bugs, as they haven’t had pesticides sprayed on them.

Chestnuts Sometimes called sweet chestnuts, horse chestnuts, or even “conkers”, these nuts grow on trees and are prolific in certain areas of the UK, Europe and the US. The strange looking nuts have green spiky encasements that have to be roasted off. Then, when cooked into other foods such as vegetables with spices, or used in a nut bread, they can provide a tasty treat!

Watch Shows Incorporating Wild Foods

With so many nature shows on television and resources on the internet today, a celebration of Wild Foods Day might include watching some shows or YouTube videos about foraging and gathering.

Wild Harvest is one show that aired on PBS in 2020, featuring Les Stroud, the star of the show Survivorman.

Chefs vs. Wild, from 2022, was based on the premise that two chefs were dropped in the wild and meant to create a five star meal from what they found in the wilderness.

Forage Wars was a 2012 reality competition series where teams of foragers would compete to gather the most ingredients.

Royally Pissed

Part 1

Prologue

Alastor X Morningstar Reader

Warnings ⚠

⚠ Italics=thoughts, implied/suggestive *cough* bedroom name ⚠

In all honesty, Alastor didn't know why he did it but it just happened.

He pulled the small blonde out of the way, holding them close to his chest as a large dust cloud came from the now broken chandelier.

Mostly everyone in the room coughed as they tried to clear the dust from themselves.

"Are you hurt?", he asked them, noticing that the top of their head barely reached his chin.

How small.

"I'm fine.", they turned away to cough. "That was a lot of dust.."

Before he could ask for their name again, they were suddenly pulled away by none other than the King, Lucifer.

"ALRIGHT THEN!", he said before pulling them towards Charlie.

Haha!

The blonde slid over to his daughter, bringing along his other child as he began.

Looks like you could use some help

From the big boss of Hell himself

He held Charlie close before pushing her to see him sitting on a throne with fire rising behind it.

Check out daddy's glowing reviews on Yelp

He sang, scrolling on his hellphone to show her the reviews.

(Five star! Flawless! Greater than great!)

Three puppets said one after the other.

Oh, with the punch of a pentagram

A wap-bam-boom! Alakazam!

Alastor rolled his eyes as he watched on, but then he was suddenly pouring wine into a glass.

Who needs a busboy, now that you've got the chef?

The deer demon was pulled by the waist and landed in a pan, ears folded back as he angrily smiled at the King who grinned evily before he was flipped onto his front.

(Wow~)

I'm going to kill him.. Alastor thought before lifting himself up.

.

You were pulled into song and at the moment, were now sitting at a dinner table with your sister as your father was dressed like a server, hand about to reveal a meal.

Michelin-tasting menu

He lifted up the silver cloche, revealing a a "decapitated" Alastor, then some tentacles with red eyeballs, and finally a cake with him holding Alastor's head.

Free à la catre!

Oook.. You cringed. Dad doesn't like Alastor.

I'll rig the game for you because I'm the ref!

He started focusing more on Charlie and started to make more things appear.

Champagne fountains, caviar mountains, that's just the start~!

And then Alastor jumped in with blacklight, his backgrounds looking vibrant.

Who's been here since day one?

The deer demon pushed your father away, making him spin out of song.

Who's been faithful as a nun?

He was suddenly dressed as a nun, holding his hands in a praying position.

Much like how your father changed his scenes quickly, so did Alastor. You were having some trouble keeping up with it. His appearance looking slightly different with the lighting, his irises now green.

I'm truly honored that we've built such a bond

"Aw.", Charlie smiled.

He was now at the top of the stairs with your sister.

You're like the child that I wish that had

Alastor cupped your sister's face,

"Uh, what?", your dad said shocked.

Then your sister was like a child tucked in bed, literally. Alastor sitting at the edge and patting her head.

I care for you, just like a daughter I spawned

"Hold on now!", your father lifted up a finger.

The deer demon suddenly leaned his elbow on top of your dad's head, smooshing the white top hat.

It's a little funny

He started and pulled your sister to face away from your father.

You could almost call me Dad!

Suddenly you pulled into the song and were spun into a dip, finding Alastor smiling down at you with a seductive gaze.

(You can call me Daddy~), he whisper sang to you.

Your face turned bright red as you let out a squeak.

.

How adorable~ His smile widened as he saw them hide their blushing red face with their hands.

Now this one was on purpose.

After seeing the immediate reaction Lucifer had with him touching them. Oh, he had to cross multiple lines to see what the man would do next.

They were practically shaking in his hands, no doubt a little overwhelmed with what he had just sang just for their ears alone.

Let's see if I can fluster them more. He thought and raised a hand towards their face.

Suddenly they were ripped out of his hold and it was just the two men on stage.

The King growled, face darkening before he began to angrily play a fiddle, walking up to him with a scowl.

Alastor just smiled, standing up straight with his hands behind his back. Taking a step back as he dropped a piano on the short King before taking a seat on the piano bench, playing it confidently and showing off his skills before cringing at a loud sound.

His piano solo interrupted by an accordion.

Looking behind him, he saw Lusifer holding the instrument above his head with a frown, playing just one long note.

Really? He thought with a raised brow.

The two glared at each other before the spotlights above the two flickered out.

*me and my friend holding back our laughter* We can't laugh! It's 2 am!

~Seline, the person.
