Allium tricoccum (commonly known as ramp,[1] ramps, spring onion, ramson, wild leek,[1] wood leek,[1] and wild garlic) is an early spring vegetable, a perennial wild onion with a strong garlic-like odor and a pronounced onion flavor.[2] Ramps are found across eastern North America, from the U.S. state of South Carolina to Canada. They are popular in the cuisines of the rural uplands of the American South, and also in the Canadian province of Quebec. Ramps also have a growing popularity in upscale restaurants throughout North America.

So, since ramps are more related to garlic than leeks, that is why one stinks through his pores after eating them. Just like with garlic. Thanks for the research, Bee!

It sounds like to get what he wants he'll have to settle for one that looks like a female Russian discus thrower! Tell to set his sites a little lower. hahaha

He may have exaggerated...just a bit. I think he meant he wasn't going to marry a girl just because she goes to church, is beautiful or some such foolishness. I'm not knocking church...I'm glad his mom took him but I'm also glad he realizes that does not make a girl life-partner worthy. He seems to believe in long engagements too because he dated the last gal for over four years before he finally saw what the other side of her looked like...

Before it starts....I know men can be full of...deceit as well. I also know of at least six men in his church alone who would love to be deacons and perhaps could have been but they have all been divorced at least once. These are for the most part, people I grew up with so I know what's in a few of their closets and shoved under their beds.

Oh...a few of them are still IN the closet...

We didn't sign up for any excursions do to the price. But I am content just being somewhere I have never been and to see the ocean and beaches. I geocache as well so we will do that at each stop. And the cruise ship will make $$ on my dining I don't tend to eat much lol

Our first cruise we did the ship excursions, but they were expensive. And we kept so busy we were to tired to enjoy to cruise ship itself.

The second cruise we were a little braver and a little less rushed. We took a walking tour on our own and shopping at the straw market. Stayed on-board one day and the ship was not very crowded.

By the third cruise we planned our own excursion on Cozumel.

Geocaching sounds like fun!

I ate plenty and still LOST weight on every cruise. I love fresh foods and since you can have pretty much anything ... Be brave and try new things!

I'm pretty much done with it now, had some great times, but you don't get to stay anywhere long enough. Someday I would like to go back to Cozumel and stay for a while.

The main thing or most important he seems to get---the girls "values" not her outer beauty are what matters. If he waits til he's seen all of her "sides" he'll select well and you can have grandkids that are around for the long haul. Mine fell in love with a real beauty that was as shallow as they come so she didn't stick around and my only grandchild lives in Tahiti. lol

When I go on vacation I like to relax- get up when I want, go where I want, go to bed when I want... Some of my family is right the opposite - "Get up get up come on hurry we gotta go were gonna be late!!!!!!!!!!" I'd rather stay home X1000! LOL

I used to go 'sanging' when I was a kid but don't bother it much anymore. The timber is torn up too much now.

My parents and grand parents used to take me with them to cut all sorts of wild greens...wild mustard, dock, stinging nettle etc.

We would even pick may apples, service berries aka 'sarvises', wild black berries and raspberries, strawberries, persimmons.

Don't forget the creasies and the dandelions......

I so wish I knew all that the old folks took to the grave with them. In our day of such technology we have lost so much. Be sure to teach your son what they taught you. Better yet, write it all down and include pictures.

I know what you mean about the timber being messed up. The '09 ice storm REALLY messed ours up making it hard to hunt or even just walk through the woods.

What part of the polk plant do you fry, the stalk? That sounds pretty good, better than the boiled greens. I will have to try that.

There are all sorts of books out there as guides to wild foraging, with really good pics and explanations of the zones and seasons to harvest if you are really interested in such things, TW. I've got the old set of Foxfire books that really has such things and more from the oldsters...a wealth of information to be had out there. But...very few people with the right mindset to actually forage, kill, grow, harvest and live off the land nowadays. Most folks won't even kill a chicken, let alone harvest wild game or tramp through the hollers looking for food.

The tough old generation is dying out and the new generation are too busy playing Candy Crush.

I'm one of those old people, what is Candy Crush? LOL I was just thinking about you Bee, how is everything holding? Electricity must still be on and that's good. It's going okay here. The only problem is my rooster pen. It's taking a beating. If it doesn't do any more it might be okay but if it does do more I might have to work on it. A whole lot of ice has even built up on the netting. Snow is one thing but ice is a whole different ballgame.

I will have to do a search for some of those books. I have never seen any around here. I guess I'll have to find them online. There could come a day when that info will be very useful. I love that kind of info!
