Getting cattail pollen is all about TIMING (and your partner pulling the car over when you shout “CATTAIL POLLEN!!!!”) Columbus, Ohio
As a lover of all things food culture, the James Beard Awards have always been a beacon in the distance. A shiny light made of food stories, excellent word choice, and all things delicious. A light that seemed so far away, that introduced me to the likes of @thecookinggene and @tonitiptonmartin and @jeni and @marcuscooks.
To be invited into said light, especially at a time where the foundation is making sure that there is room at the table for all cultural culinary expression and history, I just. WOW. Words fail me! Like they did on stage! I called myself a candy apple brought to life by a spell! Who let me say words into a microphone!
The greatest joy of the night was seeing so many peers in this beautiful but cacophonous space that is modern food media (some of whom I’m lucky enough to call friend) celebrated for their full hearts, sharp minds, and dedication that I’ve gotten to witness firsthand. @sophia_roe @yelmjouie @thekoreanvegan @foragerchef @soleil_ho @padmalakshmi @soulfoodscholar I’m so glad I got to share this night of celebration amongst you all!!
This award goes out to all the weird kids, especially the weird black kids, ESPECIALLY the weird black girls who feel your nerdiness or enthusiasm somehow calls your blackness into question. It doesn’t. Get weirder (if ya want) ❤️✨
Thank you so much @beardfoundation 💕

TREE LILAC: THE LATE MAN’S LILAC 😆 (ft. Albino Squirrel) Columbus, Ohio
FUCHSIAS! AWARDS! YELLING! A much more thoughtful (coughSAPPYcough) post is incoming on this past weekend and how truly wonderful it was!!!
Found some BEAUTIFUL Laetiporus cincinnatus (my FAVE Chicken of the Woods), and HAD to try knocking off that (in)famous chicken sandwich!! Columbus, Ohio
I’m in Vermont and it’s WILD STRAWB TIME, so I thought to do this VERY HELPFUL PSA 😤😆🍓
What I ate on my 30th birthday! Thanks for the amazing dinner @comune_restaurant!!!! Columbus, Ohio
I love getting to know a new-to-me macroalgae (fancy shmancy way of saying SEAWEED! 🤩🌊)
Meet Mermaid Tresses! Also known as Dead Man’s Rope! Also known as Sea Lace! Also known as Tsurumo!
An umami powerhouse! Can’t wait to cook something up with it again!!
GREENBRIER/SMILAX vines have edible new growth! One of my fave trail nibbles during late spring/early summer hikes, and I got to keep these guys from crowding the Beach Plum next to my mom’s house! Also isn’t my fam/aren’t my family friends cute? 💕💗💕💗 it feels so good to be back in a place that’s felt like home for so long! Martha’s Vineyard
ITS FINALLY TIME! Amelanchier species are truly a gift and I’m glad a bunch of landscapers agree 😆 it’s about to be handpie time! Columbus, Ohio
Yucca is one of those plants I’ve had a connection with long before I knew it was edible. I reveled in the every-other-year blooming clockwork of the two yuccas outside of my family’s house in Massachusetts. I shared a silent celebration with them each year that they mustered up the energy to put on a show!! In college I learned of dished in Mexico and the southern us using Yucca blossoms, and the first time I tried them (in a pre-vegan!Alexis omelette) my socks were THOROUGHLY ROCKED. They carry the asparagus family signature earthy savoriness in the stalk and flowers, proving they’re more than a slo-mo firework of landscape interest, they’re a nourishing friend!
I’m rocking my @bagtazo hat and @rodarte dress at le beginning if anyone wanted to know! Columbus, Ohio
Common Milkweed is one of my favorite early summer scents!! And there a lotta misinformation out there about milkweed’s edibility (likely stemming from folks who mistook its early shoots for poisonous lookalike Dogbane!), and while some milkweeds ARE tummy no-no’s (here’s looking at you Butterflyweed) several species are edible and have been food plants for thousands of years 💕 Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts
Tis the season for MULBERRIES so I tried MULBERRY MAKEUP 💄💗 also my mom told me a bird pooping on you means good luck?? 🤣 I’m just worried it also means salmonella! Columbus, Ohio
MY MUSHROOM BESTIES ARE BACK!!! HAPPY 🐓 SEASON YALL Columbus, Ohio
A KITCHEN EXPERIMENT TO DISTRACT MYSELF FROM THE PASSAGE OF TIME 🌼🌱✨ Columbus, Ohio
We’re sprinting headlong into summer over here in Central Ohio!! Columbus, Ohio
