piranhai didn't post a picture on tuesday because i crashed early; around 19:00, and slept all evening, night, and even some of the next morning away. so this counts as tuesday's picture.
this picture is mainly to make the *poing* grin.
and no, it is not actually extremely rare, it's terribly common. but for some reason until this spring i used to think it was rare because i had only seen it a couple of times (i think because i've tended to hibernate past its prime time). since i went all excited over this rare find in the *poing*'s presence, we started seeing it everywhere we went, and i mean everyFUCKINGwhere. so then of course i didn't hear the end of it. :)
it's yummy -- the leaves taste just like your average lettuce, and the stems are crunchy (but soft), juicy, and a little sweet -- very nice.
