We used to eat them and make cordial from the flowers when we lived in the UK. But here in Australia we don't have anywhere near enough of them to do that anymore, though I am mildly amused by the fact you can buy them as seeds, along with nettles and other such UK 'weeds'. I do miss my nettle cordial though.
I’ve never had nettle cordial.
It's easier to buy it in Waitrose ready made, but if you want to make your own, you'll need to wait a few months and need a fair quantity... sorr of 50L size, washing up gloves, with liners and a pair of scissors, and plenty of time. Elderflower cordial is also very similar only you don't need the rubber gloves. You can also buy that ready made as well. In fact the only one you can't yet buy ready made is dandelion (flower) cordial. You'll need a small field of them though....
Hmm tis a lot of input isn’t it.

I love crackers!

Best deal in the world on whole-bean coffee: $5.99US. I also find that Goya beans have fewer blowouts in the can than any other brand. That’s one area where ALDI is no good at all; even their premium organic canned beans are about a third mushed-up.

Possibly my all-time favorite cereal.

MrsT asked for yogurt, as the antibiotics she’s on are doing a number on her gut.
I asked what she wanted, and I know how picky she is, so I wanted to exact brands and flavors, and she said it didn’t matter, so I came home with those.
Management was not happy, and I was “spoken to” about my poor choices.

Those must be the best mushrooms, because it’s clearly labeled that they’re champs.
With me, it’s pretty much in one ear and out the other. She’ll eat that yogurt later this week and tell me it’s good.
