Episode Details

In this episode, I discuss the medicinal properties of the many varieties of Thistles. Several different plants are called thistle and most, if not all, have medicinal properties and are potently medicinal. Some could even save your life and several are associated with legends of divine intervention for the good of mankind. I also give you my recipe for leftover turkey (or most anything else) casserole, a Chinese style quick noodle dish that is super cheap and a nice break from heavy holiday foods and my (soon to be famous) spiced peanuts. I grew up on a peanut farm, and store bought peanuts just don't satisfy - with a little oil, spice and less than 5 minutes of time you can make store bought peanuts REALLY good!
