Edible Daylily Buds & Dai Lo Mein

Everything noodle soup.  Don't you think?  Above, I see smooth white noodles in a savory broth, meaty shiitake mushrooms, floppy black wood ear, thinly sliced pork belly, yellow daylily buds, and fresh chopped cilantro.  

Wait, what did I just say?!  Yes, daylily buds.  Those pretty summer garden fixtures, the yellow-orange common daylily, are a delicious and sweet edible flower.  They're great fresh and lightly stir fried, but here, since they're a bit softer, I can tell they're rehydrated buds that we've dried in a food dehydrator in a previous summer.  My father has a large planting of daylilies in his garden and though they bloom for a very long season, they grow in great profusion in the thick of the summer. To take advantage of the large number of blooms, we pick and dry them.  They're perfect added to soups and noodle dishes through the fall and winter months.  Try these fragrant edible flowers today - the Chinese Kitchen Garden book tells a lot more about how to grow and use these edible flowers.

Spot on with this write-up, I truly think this website needs much more consideration. I'll probably be again to read much more, thanks for that info.

I am so very glad to hear this! I hope that Amy also handled things with Kerry and deleted him from his admin duties! Then, he can make a fake profile and try to admin again!

Thank you for posting this very informative article. I have been trying to determine when large, flat concrete gravestones were first used in New Orleans cemeteries. I have found two for 1905 burials but I don't know if the stones were laid at the time of burial. They are slab-like with small marble name plaques attached. Have you run across any similar gravestones in your New Orleans research?
