The mid-February thaw here in the Great Lakes and the visit from our ol' pal sunshine got me breaking out the Peterson Field Guide and brushing up on my local wild edibles. I know I'm jumping the gun a bit (a lotta bit), but seeing grass for the first time in months in bits and patches will tide me over. Cold Splinters toured Prospect Park, NY with "Wildman" Steve Brill (pictured above) a while back, but duck over to his website and get lost. The highlight of his site (aside from his real wealth of knowledge) is his archive of media surrounding his arrest in NYC in 1986 for "eating a dandelion". Spring!
