ETA: I do want to acknowledge and warn that all milkweeds are toxic, and some are more toxic than others. I used common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), which is less toxic than other species, and the blanching process removes toxins. Please be very careful if you try this yourself: look at a number of online foraging sources, and know your milkweed... I speak as someone who once poisoned herself with mushrooms--I don't want to have your illness on my conscience.

Here is the jasmine, so pretty, so fragrant!

And below this cut are before-and-after shots of fried immature milkweed pods. This are very tasty! I've mad them in past years, but this year they're like a garden crop, I have so much in my yard. I've cooked them twice already.

And beneath this cut is a portrait of my staghorn sumac tree, plus some sun-brewed sumac tea (or sumac-ade), made by squeezing/bruising the berries, covering them in cold water, and letting them sit out in the sun for a while. The result is very fragrant and mildly sour in a nice way.

Good night, all!
