Thanks to Teresa mn and Jasdip

13 years ago

I made Teresa's Wild Rice soup that Jasdip posted about in December. Boy, is it good. Both of us like it a lot. And it's easy to make & freezes well.

Thanks to both of you for sharing.

Teresa, What a fabulous time we had in your fair state! It was wonderful of you to give up Sunday to spend with Rita and me and show us your garden and introduce us to the two nursery/hosta/display gardens. Thanks for sharing your plants with us. Your knowledge of hostas and their origins made me realize how little I really know about my favorite plant! I'm just happy to remember what little I do about them!!!!! We left with our pocket books slimmer but very happy to have all the new additions to our gardens. Thank you again from both of us, Connie and Rita

I haven't cooked mine yet. I've a potluck to attend on Sunday, but I don't think I want to share with so many...does that make me mean? We've dear friends coming over for dinner soon, and I think I'll use it then. For now, the aroma even raw is enticing, much stronger than that which I buy in the store. It is also lighter in color. Gosh, I almost hope I don't like it TOO much as I don't think it grows anywhere around here for me to harvest!!! Very sweet of Teresa to share her family's tradition with us.

On one hand I want everyone to enjoy real wild rice, But that will make wild rice even more expensive.

Let's not tell anyone about how delicious wild rice is.

Oh well, I read this week that food prices are going up A LOT. Eat, drink & be merry, for tomorrow we won't be able to afford it!

I've read that food and fuel are going to go through the roof. I may regret gifting more than 50 lbs of wild rice this year. :-)

kathleen - where did you get your rice? I hear Trader Joe's sells a wild rice product that is good. I have yet to try it. I am always looking for a good source because we do have years where the crop is sparce. We had straight line winds one year and there was nothing to harvest. However, the stuff blown into the water produced a fabulous crop the following year.
