THINGS I THOUGHT TODAY BUT DIDN'T SHARE WITH ANYONE (until now)

1. I wish pine needles were edible, no, more than that, I wish they were delicious! For all I know they may be edible according to the strictest definition of the word. I imagine that the flavor of a green candied pine needle would be tart like lemon or rhubarb but also fresh like basil.

2. I have always thought I would enjoy writing for the J. Peterman catalog.

3. If I had loads of  cash, and I mean enough to be a little eccentric, I would, among other things, create a line of hard candies to sell in museum gift stores that closely resembled famous statues- only in miniature of course. They would be very tastefully done...very classy.

I regularly chew pine needles. They're at their best early in the season and get tarter as they stiffen through the spring and summer

I'm not sure that proves their edibility so much as you eccentricity.

Very true. Search the Internet, though, and you'll find repeated references to their high levels of vitamin C
