#147 Make a salad out of weeds
The blog is called 365 things you can do but for some reason 365 has become both a verb and adjective. It started as a blog at www.365saker.se on the first of January 2009 but has grown into a large tree (or a network of weeds) in Sweden. In particular, Örebro, Uddevalla, Malmö and Umeå, people have begun to find their own things that are 365 or started a 365: a turn of phrase that they themselves use. How does this sound:
- I've just given away my body parts and made a t-shirt with a pair of lungs on the front.
- That is so 365.
Or:
- What do you want to do tomorrow?
- Me and some buddies are gonna go out on the town and 365 a bit.
To do things yourself. To not buy unnecessary things. To think one step further. To do, be or become; 365 is a thousand different things.
The first time I ate weed salad, I knew that it was 365. Not to buy a finished salad or even buy the ingredients to make salad, but instead pick it in the woods or from a meadow. Learn to use what nature offers. Be creative with what exists. That's 365.
Dandelion Salad:
Pick young dandelion leaves
Mix with a dressing consisting of a good vinegar, olive oil, herbal salt and possibly a little garlic.
