They were not. Dandelions have a white latex sap that dries brown and permanently stains white and clear plastic, and I'd been using them for that purpose for a few years. So there were plenty of 'brownish spots' on those items. <br />Oh the horror! The *gasp* 'unprofessionalism!' ;)<br /><br />I ended up putting a disclaimer on my later videos.<br /><br />If all they got out of my Wild Cookery! videos was that my cutting board and mixing bowl were 'icky' because they were stained with the brown latex from dandelions, then my videos obviously weren't for them. :P<br /><br />I say let folks read about the ninnies from time to time. If someone doesn't want to read it, they don't have to.Wild Cookery!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08533295278236725505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-78744242110315893912012-11-04T12:05:02.666-08:002012-11-04T12:05:02.666-08:00Likely the individual was just trolling.

Oh well, the gene pool has always needed a cleansing of 'stupid' from the ingredient list anyway. Nature has a lovely way of doing this for us. :)<br /><br />So, Anonymous snark... snark away.

As hard as we try, there's just way too many things going on at once. My dishes are washed and still shine, but our dogs & cats reside there too. When we had chickens, occasionally one would invite herself in (which we quickly shooed out), we have freshly picked fruit on our counter waiting to be put somewhere ... I could go on and on. <br /><br />I will never be a kitchen queen again. But we love our farm, our family, our pets and God. He is the one we revere, not our house. <br /><br />To anonymous, please don't come over.

You post kitchen pictures often enough that it is obvious that it never gets to that point.<br /><br />I love your kitchen. I love your house. I love and find inspiration in all the things you do. I aspire to do even a fraction of it myself.<br /><br />I agree with everyone else that this person has no life, and doesn't even realize it. The snarker is jealous or angry about something else.

We have 5 cats and 5 dogs..and YES we have hair all over...it's a tradeoff for the love and great times we have with our animals.

When we're milking, there's always a milk mess going on...straining, washing jars, making butter, cheese, yogurt...and we cook everything from scratch. <br /><br />Instead of being snarky, maybe the poster needs to get a life and learn how to really live!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03188423562911807686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-84382452236281671682012-10-28T15:25:17.744-07:002012-10-28T15:25:17.744-07:00Patrice, I suspect you are able to become one with...Patrice, I suspect you are able to become one with your inner duck and let garbage like that roll right off your back! I read your blog regularly though I don't comment but once in a blue moon. It's generally uplifting, life affirming, warm, and educational. I've envied your country living and am now in the process of getting 10 acres near by myself to try my hand at it. Not too many bloggers document and photograph daily life the way you do and I for one and grateful for it.
