Poke grows so dramatically fast that its window of opportunity to be harvested is essentialy one day. Kinda like asparagus. The myth of needing to cook it in numerous changes of water to detoxify it is , a myth. All that serves to do is wash away any food value poke has to begin with. I think the whole "changes of water" thing really means wash the dirt off your greens in a few changesLeslie Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17933649274394414938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-2453179896868400892016-09-07T10:07:20.551-07:002016-09-07T10:07:20.551-07:00No TOMATOES????No TOMATOES????Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-83885635708986291192016-09-07T10:06:55.652-07:002016-09-07T10:06:55.652-07:00I just looked out the window and I can already see...I just looked out the window and I can already see the ones I missed--from fifty feet away.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-17089310175145964902016-09-07T10:06:18.320-07:002016-09-07T10:06:18.320-07:00Jono, I'm going to have some celebratory poke ...Jono, I'm going to have some celebratory poke salad right after my first jump from an airplane.Murr Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03422638986410813520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-63041896830836170782016-09-07T09:58:07.546-07:002016-09-07T09:58:07.546-07:00Woman, you are having too much fun with these phot...Woman, you are having too much fun with these photographic illustrations :)<br /><br />Don't stop, by the way.<br /><br />I don't eat anything that doesn't come from a store or market.
