Uglemor bruger nælder til urtesalte, til at bage med, til mad til hønsene, til sæbe og mange andre ting; men ikke til brændenældesuppe!
Uglemor drømmer om at lave fibre af sine nælder. Det sker bare aldrig rigtig, men måske i år.
Brændenældeboller bliver det til gengæld til hvert år. Vi har endnu årets første til gode. De bliver nok bagt i morgen eller på tirsdag.

Ⓝ er for nettles.
MotherOwl uses nettles for herbal salts, baking, feed for the chicken, for soap, and for lots of other things, but not for nettle soup.
MotherOwl dreams of spinning nettle yarn. It never happened so far. Maybe this year is the year.
Nettle buns happens every year. We are still not that far, but tomorrow, or maybe Tuesday, we hope.
En fin og lækker ung brændenælde. - - - A pretty and delicious young nettle.
I think nettles here are mostly wasted. I do remember being served nettle soup (uninspiring but ok). Weaving with nettles makes me think of the fairy stories of my childhood...
SvarSletHow amazing that they can be used so many ways!
SvarSletI didn't know that nettles looked like this! Like Elephant's child, I remember the fairy stories from childhood, where nettles were an unpleasant thing, especially "stinging nettles" which I have always pictured as long thorns . . . now I know better. How do you make nettle buns?
