The Daily Cuppa Walkabout Collection #13

Stories published at The Daily Cuppa from February 5th to 11th, 2022; with selected stories from around Medium.

Photo by Niklas Hamann on Unsplash

Did you know dandelions were an ancient source of food, beverages, and wine?

I knew — and used every part of the plant since I was young. My children and I would gather blossoms for wine, mock honey, jelly. I use the leaves for salads and wilted greens. My granddaughter now makes dandelion vinegar.

But I didn’t know they used dandelions in Traditional Chinese Medicine until I read Nancy Blackman’s Wednesday Walkabout story.

Enjoy this collection of stories, and I hope you find treasured bits as I did.

Offerings From Your Daily Walkabout Guides

Saturday:

Our guide to Australia shares about a plant the Indigenous Australians enjoyed as a snack.

Jane Frost (Jane Grows Garden Rooms) leads us into the world of Australian Bush Tucker with bites — tasty bits about native plants and their uses.

Sunday:

From Hawaii, our guide shares the second in a two-part story about passion fruit and his love of Lilikoi Cheesecake.

Here is part one from last week.

James Beaufait presents a lush Hawaiian feast of traditions, food growing, delicious herbal treats, and sumptuous recipes as he brings us to the islands.

Monday:

An easy home cooking recipe from the Northern Hemisphere with a Mexican flare we do so love.

Kris Bedenian celebrates Northern hemisphere home cooking as she blends her skills in traditional food preparation techniques with modern healthy adaptations.

Tuesday:

A delight for those growing in southern climates is this treat from JM’s herbal collection. If you like earl gray tea, this is the fruit that gives its distinctive flavor.

JM Heatherly shares his love of herbs and herbal lore as he indexes herbs and their uses to lead the younger generation into the magical world of plants.

Wednesday:

Our guide shares the glories of a plant that is treasured by all the western herbal traditions — and guess what? It’s used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as well.

Nancy Blackman brings the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with a warm Korean flair for using herbs and spices in the home kitchen.

Thursday:

Our clever chef shares a recipe that’s destined to be a favorite of young people — okay, everyone!

Julie Gaeta combines her expertise as a Health Coach and traditional Mexican cuisine chef with a healthy twist to share recipes for smoothies, teas, and much more.

Friday Surprise:

PseuPending (Seu) entices us with an excerpt of a long article on tea. It’s a bit about the history of tea. We have gotten so used to saying we are having tea when we are having an infusion or decoction of some other plant. That mouthful explains the difficulty. “How about you stop over for a decoction of apples and dates?” Nope, it ends up tea, but it’s not tea. And it’s not herbal tea.

Our Fellow Travelers

Daniela Nair found a South African treat that will be popular around the world. If you dunk in milk, tea, or coffee, here ya go. Yummy. I bet you could dunk these in red wine. Hmm…

Amanda Laughtland scouted out the Dollar Store for us and found an interesting alternative for S’mores — kinda, she says.

Juana Flor shares two recipes this week that vegans or those who can eat the foods in vegan recipes will be eager to try.

Adrienne Beaumont gives her two cents' worth about eggs and celebrates their wondrous glory. My favorite is over easy, but this reminded me of what I’m missing.

Elizabeth Emerald tickles the funny bone with this attempt at home cooking and an admitted failure. When you can’t succeed, find an alternative.

KL Simmons discovered a new way to use a soup maker. I didn’t know there was a soup maker. If you like smoothies, here’s the story for you. Check out the long-form piece she linked — it looks yummy.

Bett Harris does an excellent job of outlining the dangers of sugar in our diet. Again, some people appear to be able to tolerate some sugar, just as some people can tolerate tofu, almonds, and fish.

Our Featured Long-Form Story — Two This Week

From her Caribbean Garden, I. Trudie Palmer shows us how to make fish head soup. How about ‘thyme, chives, rosemary, oregano, onion, garlic, season pepper and a large West Indian Red — a hot pepper’ for a taste sensation?

Cathylouise wrote an interesting and entertaining article about how she improved her health through food choices and porridge features prominently.

Final Thoughts

Dandelions as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, an Indigenous Australians’ snack, improving health through food choices, and so much more are offered to you in this collection.

I didn’t know they used dandelions in Traditional Chinese Medicine even though I have known a lot about using every part of the plant and taught my children and grandchildren about all the various uses.

Thank you, dear readers and all our generous Walkabout writers, for your time joining in this celebration of plants, traditions, and healthy foods.

Join The Adventure

We’d love to have you join us.

Do you have stories from your family or cultural traditions? Do you grow food or forage? Do you have a special vegetable you like to grow?

My bias is that home cooking is better for our health than eating packaged food, so whatever food system you follow, we rejoice in stories about what you’re cooking.

What inspires you to grow your food, forage, and cook?

Come along with us on our walkabout.

Submit your recipes, herb, gardening, and plant lore for our gathering of all stories tagged ‘walkabout.’ Link your long-form stories tagged ‘walkabout’ for our collection.

Disclaimer covering all our Walkabout stories

The information presented in the articles in our Walkabout series is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Each writer writes from their own experience and/or research, as such, their content is shared in good faith for informational use only.

Nutrient-dense whole food from plants — from grapefruit, asparagus, spinach, turmeric to blueberries — can be a problem if you’re eating processed foods and taking prescription medications. It may take your body a while to get used to any diet changes. Always consult with your physician or a qualified health care provider before making any lifestyle or dietary changes.

An idea to support one of our writers.

I like to dedicate each of these collections to one of the writers in some way. Usually, I share their Medium referral link if I can find one.

I’d like to dedicate this collection to I. Trudie Palmer. I couldn’t find a Medium referral link, but I found the link to her wonderful book. She’s a beautiful spirit and I highly recommend her debut book.

I hope that you take the opportunity to pick up a copy of her book, anywhere that good books are sold.
