SUMMARY:LUNCHTIME TRAPS\,TRIGGERS\, PRIMITIVE WEAPONRY WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Learn to make traps\, triggers\, snares\, deadfalls — learn by doing! \nThursday\, August 13\, noon \nWe recognize that hunting and fishing are long-established methods of putting food on the table\, especially during times of hardship and emergency.   Though I have never really been what you’d call a “hunter\,” I always wanted to know how to capture and clean animals for food\, if I had to.   I learned originally how to clean animals by using roadkill\, and fish that I caught.   Later\, I learned how to make and use primitive traps from various sources\, such as Paul Campbell and Larry Dean Olsen.  So if you’re like me\, and just want to know how to make these devices “just in case\,” please come to the class. \nWe’ll  meet in the Arroyo Seco to learn which woods are best for traps and triggers.  Then’ we’ll work on carving a deadfall trigger\, a trigger for a quail trap\, and more. \n \nYou’re learn by doing.  Bring your knife! (We have extras if  you don’t have one) \n \nWe’ll see edible and medicinal plants. Bring your canteen.

SUMMARY:WILD FOODS:   TRADITIONAL ACORN PROCESSING WORKSHOP  --
DESCRIPTION:PROCESSING WILD ACORNS — FROM RAW ACORN TO DELICIOUS PANCAKES!   SEPTEMBER 12\, 10 a.m. \n \n \n  \nSaturday\, September 12\, 10 a.m.  \n$65  ($45 for students and seniors) \nTRADITIONAL ACORN PROCESSING\n \nThis Session is a complete lesson on the historical value of the ACORN in west coast native societies\, along with some nutritional information. You will then go through the entire process of turning the raw acorn into a delicious food. You’ll shell\, grind\, leach\, test\, leach some more\,  and blend with a few other ingredients to make acorn food products. \nIf you didn’t already know this\, ACORNS are a Super-Food\, not simply squirrel food.  They contain all the amino acids!  Native Americans of the Americas understood this and regularly processed and consumed acorn products. In fact\, acorns have been used for food by many cultures the world over.  They are still commonly used in Korean dishes. In the U.S.\, the use of the acorn is experiencing a revival. \nWe will also prepare a few other wild food dishes\, depending on what is in season.  \nThere will be minimal walking today\,  but still bring your field notebook. \nThis can apply to an Ethno-botany certificate. \nLocation sent upon registration. \nPricing: $65 per class.   (Seniors/ students $45) \n  \n  \nFrancisco offers freshly-made acorn pancakes\n  \n \nBooks by Nyerges available at Classes \n  \n

SUMMARY:THANKSGIVING SEASON -- WILD FOOD COOKING WORKSHOP -- INCLUDING ACORN PROCESSING
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 21\, 10 a.m. \nWILD FOOD COOKING WORKSHOP \nJoin us as we do a short walk to forage wild foods that are in season\, and learn how to recognize what is available now. \nWe’ll then gather and prepare  the various wild foods\, along with some that we have brought\, including ACORNS.  You will work together to create a salad\, a soup\, an egg dish\, acorn pancakes\, tea\, and some sort of desert items.  We’ll have mushrooms if we find any. \nLearn how to eat the older nopales\nIt’s worth noting that when the first peoples of Hahamongna lived here\, they relied on the plant and animal life for their sustenance. You will just be getting a small taste of what that would have been like.  And it is worth noting that the majority of the wild foods that are available today are mostly European invasive plants\,  plants that the first peoples would not have had. \n \nBring your notebook and camera\, and bring your water and bowl.  This is not a spectator sport\, so be prepared to process greens\, make the fire\, and cook. \n$65 ($45 for seniors and students)
