Day 7 | Dinner
Backyard’n’Broccoli Stir Fry
New ingredient of the day: purslane, or as I prefer, portulaca. I found a few plants on campus, and with the addition of a handful of dandelion and plantain leaves and daylily buds combined with some broccoli, it made a fantastic stir fry.
Total approximate cost: $0.55
I casually picked up the greens and buds on my way home from work without deviating from my usual path or making the slightest dent in the edible plant population of Oberlin. The sushi rice and teriyaki sauce were given to me—forced on me might be more accurate—by a friend a while back. The only item that cost me anything at all was the broccoli. A very healthy, filling meal for practically free; extremely pleased with this.
