Plants You Can Eat
Title of this art: Debbie's Lab
Hello Steemies,
This entry is a bit late but I just would like to show it to you nevertheless. Time flies when you are having a good time doesn't it?
The drawing shows the kitchen of Debbie. She is holding an uprooted dandelion plant while wearing a pair of blue protective gloves. She is preparing the ingredients that she will be experimenting with. She plans to come up with unique flavors for Mrs. Bertie's cakes.

Scene 25: Kitchen lab
There were a few more stores and Cafe's along the path of Debbie, she took every inspiration that she can while at it. The lazy walk was long and exhausting but she took advantage of that time to conceptualize the five flavors of her cakes.
When she reached her home, the kids are already asleep. The kite flying activity earlier today was quite tiring too for the three little kids. Debbie didn't notice that their cat, Via has a new tiny companion. Via had been quietly observing the tiny mouse for hours now.
Debbie : The kids had grown so fast, they go out to play on their own now. I miss those days when I had to prepare everything for them. Today's kids want to be independent even at a young age. I would still want to be there to guide them.
Via: meow, kwewk, meow
Debbie: Hahaha. Come here you cute little cat.
The following morning, Debbie went to her garden and uprooted one dandelion. These are freely growing on her garden even if no one is tending them. She washed the beautiful green plant quickly to loosen the fertile soil from the long tubular roots and tore the plant separating the roots from the leaves and flowers. Since the entirety of the plant is edible, she planned to utilize each part and decide which will make it to her cake flavors.
She boiled on separate containers each of the following: flowers, roots and leaves. Strained and put each concoction into separate glass jars. The jar with leaves is a bit bitter, the flowers not much flavor to it but the roots are quite promising. Debbie smiled when she sniffed and tasted the liquid of the third jar. It reminded her of the root beer drink and burdock which was her favorite back in the days. From that moment she knew this could be it.
I hope you like it.
Cheers
