Lamb's Quarter

Lamb's Quarter or Goosefoot

Do you know this lovely weed? I help weed for my CSA and carry a container just for Lamb's Quarter. Vitamin A and C, phosphorus, calcium, thiamin, iron, niacin and riboflavin - what more do you want? Oh, good taste? Try a yummier version of Spinach. Fantastic.

If you have kidney issues, ask your MD, but otherwise, enjoy. We eat our fill then parboil and freeze the rest for the winter. Yum.

OFF THE MAP

OFF THE MAP is my 46,000 word upper middle grade mystery adventure set in Washington D.C. and the surrounding area, and is the first novel of a planned U.S. based trilogy. It is a work in progress that is almost done . . .

Here's a small taste of the plot:

An unknown opponent just dragged twelve year old Thomas Walker into a game.

A six time national geography champion, usually Thomas thrives on games, especially ones where he doesn't need to rely on partners. But this game began with his uncle kidnapped from the audience during Thomas' seventh competition. Mysterious clues pop up, trash is swamping the Potomac, and Thomas is not sure who to trust – or how to rein in his loner nature. Failure surrounds him, and without gambling on his friends' help, he may lose more than he can bear.
