My grandmother always tossed the chicken feet in the soup pot. I presume she scrubbed them REALLY WELL first. Grandpa got them in his bowl. Not sure I, as a non farm kid, would have wanted them, but he sure liked to suck the meat off. Must have been pretty tasty. The outer skin of the feet comes off easily when dipped in hot water same as when plucking, I made them last month how my SIL taught me and they were delicious, My 2 year old sucked the meat off and asked for more.
Definitely want to get on that. So much is lost when one dies but since there is "always" tomorrow, sometimes it is too late. I emailed my sisters today for that hoping they will add to it, I realized tis when my grandma passed last month before I video taped her, she had a lot of wisdom.
I SUPPOSE I could figure out what to do with the stinging nettle other than weed whack it down. But for now, that is what I am doing. I have plenty, I'm sure it won't be a problem if I decide to use it for medicinal purposes. Most people use it to make tea. I haven't done that yet, there is lots of info on the net but no proven benefits
I love to learn about medicinal stuff. do you know the tree names?

Awesome.... Did you put vinegar in there to extract the last bit of Gelatin?
My Great Grandma was a midwife. Back in the late 1800's When She had a delivery where she didnt know if she was going to be a bleeder she made up a special tea for them. She never told them what it was. But it was loaded with Vitimine K and helped with blood clotting... She never told them she made it from horse maneure... freshly collected before it hit the ground.
