Korean Style Pancake with Lyreleaf Sage

We have a huge patch of lyreleaf sage growing in the shade of the hickory out back. “The young tender leaves can be eaten in salads or cooked as a ‘pot’ herb cooked like spinach with a slightly minty flavor – even the older leaves. The seeds can be gathered, ground, and added with flour to make bread. It was considered a staple food traditionally by the Catawba and Cherokee peoples.”

This morning I gathered a large handful that I used in this pancake for lunch

After washing and soaking the leaves in a vinegar/water bath, I chopped them, and then sautéed them with a little garlic and ginger in a mix of vegetable and sesame oil, when I was almost done cooking them, I added a splash of soy sauce.

After removing the greens, I ladled in half the batter (1 cup all purpose flour, 1/4 cup corn flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1 & 1/4 cup ice water), topping it with half the greens, followed by a spoonful of panko bread crumbs. Once the bottom crisped, I flipped the pancake and cooked the other side.

Instead of making a dipping sauce, I was lazy and used a bottle of sweet chili sauce.

Been a while since I’ve been to the home improvement store, Lowe’s … They had them on clearance! $3 😍Used a gift card given to me in July. Didn’t think they were going to have any plants. I’m going to risk it and plant them now, even though it’s usually late winter/spring when you plant grapes 🍇 but I guess I can heavy mulch it. We’ll see

Old Stone Cemetery-Catawba, South Carolina

Old Stone Cemetery-Catawba, South Carolina

This cemetery is located near the entrance to the Landsford Canal State Park. It used to be a part of a Mount Zion Church in Landsford, South Carolina. The cemetery is not in the best condition. It is surrounded by a stone wall, and the ground is covered with vegetation. According to news stories, the cemetery has faced recent vandalism. From what I could tell, this destruction happened to the…

This Indigenous Peoples Day, I am on Catawba land and newly aware that I am a descendant of the Turtle clan of the Lenape.

I honor my ancestors whose culture was hidden and erased from their descendents in order to ensure our survival. I honor the land they cultivated, lived on, and loved. I recommit myself to learning how to care for Nerthus, mother Earth, I dedicate myself to the fight for protection of our water and the healing of our planet.

Land back is the only way forward.
