The eggs, scallion greens, wild garlic chives and dead nettles came from the yard.

Butter, tomatoes, olive oil, salt, pepper and emergency goat came from the store.

Cost per person, $2.80. $1.5 of that is tomatoes.

Thank you for this post, because now I’ve learned that a plant I grew up with and only thought of as ‘the one with little purple flowers’ is actually edible and a relative of stinging nettles. Neat!

    I've taken them, the wild garlic in the yard, pecans from my tree, Parmesan and olive oil to make pesto before. I do recommend some salt be added.

    Dead nettles are free food in your yard. Vitamin C, A, and K, and iron.
