I echo you sentiment around the feeling that foraging gives you...solace and peace in nature and the abundance I feel when I cook and eat what I have foraged! I am addicted as well!! It is one of my FAVORITE things! Every season I have different things I forage and I have been watching for the wild asparagus to pop...could be any day now here in the foothills of Nor Cal.
I just finished "The Leopard" on Netflix and am ready to pack my bags for Sicily! I think I would love foraging but the only thing in my suburban neighborhood I see a lot of is purslane and I worry it's a frequent target of the many dogs being walked around here. The woods would be "cleaner"!
I'm about to buy asparagus crowns for the garden. So I could easily see the foraging comnpulsion. I think I approach searching for shells on the beach the same way...
Although there is nothing to forage where I live, I still enjoy the solace and peace nature provides when walking outdoors. Glad spring has finally arrived! Thank you for sharing!
Il Gattopardo è stato meraviglioso. Il cibo, la ricca storia… Lo guarderò di nuovo per esercitarmi con l’italiano. Dopo aver viaggiato a Bari con Sophie nel 2023, ora capisco meglio la Puglia era parte del Regno delle Due Sicilie.

Perfect timing! I have one bag of busiate and vacuum packed almonds in the pantry that need to be used this month.

Those wild asparagus drew me in. Lovely post.
