I have always wanted to try this. I know people who have. I'm not sure what holds me back. Thanks for the cooking info.

Hi!

I've been looking for people interested in food and cooking - and I thought you might like to know The Stew, one of the Chicago Tribune's blogs, is hosting its first live web video chat today! The two hosts are looking for questions, so if you would like to ask a food/restaurant related question, post it as a comment here:

http:// leisureblogs.chicagotribu...from_tribu.html

Recently, the hosts visited the National Restaurant Association Show - so they also plan on talking about things they found and saw there.

The chat is scheduled for 2 p.m., so make sure you post your questions soon!

Thanks!

Amanda

I am very much interested in cooking and history, so I really enjoy your blog. I grew up eating various kinds of greens, including dandelion greens. I never enjoyed them, though! One way we cooked dandelions was tasty: pick the first blooming heads of the spring season. Make sure none of the milky stem remains. Soak these heads in salt water for an hour or so. Drain. Pat dry. Roll in flour spiked with salt and paper. Fry in canola oil or canola oil with a little bacon grease added to it. Eat while hot. Absolutely delicious!
