Juki's Blackberry Dumplings

Collect wild blackberries, about a half gallon
Water to cover about half
Bring to a vigorious boil.  Add about a cup of
sugar (taste for sweetness, don't burn your
lips)...
Make Dumplings;
Combine flour, about two cups with one egg,
enough milk to make a dough ball, pinch off
small bits and roll in palm, (flour your palms),
and drop into the boiling blackberries.  Stir
often.
When all your dumplings are in let boil about 7
to 10 minutes vigiouriously, turn off heat, cover
with lid, don't peek, and remove lid after about
3 to 4 hours.
Serve with ice cream, or alone.


Juki never measured anything, so
often these recipes will be a trial and
error for you, but with practice you
will improve, and so will the food.
Wild potatoes
will be blooming
soon.

Pine Bark for Diabetes

A study published in May 2008 shows
that Pycnogenol (pic-noj'-en-all), a
plant extract from a certain type of pine
bark, reduces blood sugar in type 2
diabetes patients, allows people to
lower their blood pressure medication,
and improves cardiovascular disease
risk factors. Pycnogenol may serve as
a helpful addition to prescription
medications for the 20 million people in
the United States living with diabetes
