We never had any pokeweed around here before; I know a lot of my weeds. No nettles on my property but got in a thicket of them a couple times and they do sting like the devil, and takes awhile to stop.
I should dress better for the job but I don't like getting too hot. As to the clam chowder, I've had the stuff to make it for some months and finally got some celery and enough onions to make some. I winged it. Guess i should have bought another bottle of clam juice and/or another can of clams. I decided that I like potato soup well enough so if it doesn't have much clam flavor I don't care.
I hear you. I love potatoes. We usually keep 6 to8 cans of chopped clams on hand, as well as multiple bottles of clam juice. Linguine with clam sauce is a good, quick and easy Friday night dinner.
