City Dweller, Heal Thyself by Avalon
February 3rd, 2008 7:40 PM / Location: 47.613627,-122.3530The various items I would be collecting (and I did get all of the ones I set out to get) were:
Sage
Mint
Rosemary
Lavender
Sunflower Petals
Fennel Frawn
The mixture was going to be concocted with a lovely feminist sake called Yaegaki. It is feminist because the creator is the first female sake master in america.
I chose an alcohol as the alcohol with take up the fat soluble goodies and the rest of the rice liquid will take up the water soluble goodies.
The overall aim of the mixture was to relieve stress and promote a healthy night's sleep.
T - 0:00 After grinding the mixture in a mortar and steeping it in a cup of sake for 5 minutes, I drank it. It tasted pleasant, each ingredient adding its own flavor to the mix.
T - 0:05 No distinguishable difference
T - 0:15 Very mild relaxed feeling
T - 0:30 Feeling starts to dwindle
Overall result, I'd need to make a lot of it to do much good.

As would I.
I enjoy most things that involve a mortar and pestle.
The nocturnal part was mostly because I took the various herbs from the gardens of hotels, conference centers and restaurants along the seattle waterfront. The culinary school I go to is down there, and we've had some good lessons in herb identification, so I set out to scope things out during the day. Once I found out where they were, I went out under cover of dark to snatch the herbs from their private gardens, in hopes that the darkness would ease my not getting caught snipping up the plants of private business.
That is the coolest thing I've heard all day. I wish I could vote for this task again now.
Vote for feminist sake and business herbs
That was a fabulous completion! When I created this task I wasn't in Biome, so I couldn't do it. Now I'm just waiting for it to be warm and growy outside.
Also, as a devoted Humanitarian Crisis for life I think that stealing herbs and plants from the perpetrators of the crisis can totally count as gathering wild plants!
Ennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnh. Reminds me of a song. Goes something like "Keep on pushing me baby/Don't you know you drive me crazy/You just keep on pushing my love over the..." What's the next word? Anyway. Vote for Seattle, yo.
I´d love to know more about the nocturnal hunting!
