🌿 The Practical Art of Living "Otherwise": A Day with some experiments
Ever wonder what it looks like to truly live *with* nature, not just *in* it? It’s a little "otherwise" than the normal lifestyle. It's not about reading a recipe, buying ingredients, and cooking.
It's a reverse process:
1. Find what's edible and abundant around you.
2. Harvest with gratitude and care.
3. Create with what you have.
4. Preserve & Repurpose every part.
Today's Story:
I harvested wild mangoes and rose apples (pomarosa). Here’s what happened:
➡️ The Juice: Extracted for flavor and vitality.
➡️ The "Ice": Combined with more mango and blackberries into tasty and nutrition-rich popsicles.
➡️ The Seeds: Being ready for replanting.
➡️ The Pomace (pulp leftovers): Will likely be fermented into a vinegar.
It’s one simple harvest transformed into multiple, zero-waste creations. The "recipe" was written by what the land offered today.
I’d love to know:
What’s one wild or locally abundant ingredient you’ve been curious to work with?
*Below are some photos of the harvest and a short video of the process. This is the practical art of sustainable living.*
