Oh, I also made something else from my dandelion stash from yesterday. I used this recipe and made deep fried dandelions. I know it sounds completely nuts, but they're pretty yummy and crunchy. The recipe was pretty stern about the green part being bitter, but I removed all of the stem and there was not a trace of bitterness left. The taste is a lot like a combination of tempura shiso leaves and tempura broccoli. The petals hold a lot of batter, so it's probably best not to eat more than a few in a sitting unless you're drinking a lot of beer.

I wish I'd taken better pictures of these; this was after most were dished out for dinner. I think I'm going to continue stealing and eating my neighbor's yard.
