 BF> It was at the Auditorium Theater, aging even then, and there was
 BF> some trouble with the sound system while the Statler Brothers were
 BF> opening for Johnny Cash.  They had to start over a couple times 
 BF> when the sound quit.  They weren't famous either.  Then one of 
 BF> them stormed off the stage to see what was going on.  He came 
 BF> roaring back and yelled out words to the effect that "We don't 
 BF> have to put up with stuff like this!"  And all four of them 
 BF> stormed off the stage, leaving it empty!

 BF> We in the audience sat stunned.  We figured that the show was over
 BF> as was our 35 mile one way trip to see Johnny.  Then after a few
 BF> minutes of quiet, Johnny Cash came out with an acoustic guitar, sat on
 BF> the edge  of the stage with his feet hanging over and said "Tell me if
 BF> you  can't hear me in the back there."

 BF> The longest standing ovation I have ever taken part in followed 
 BF> that.  When the audience finally settled down, Johnny gave an 
 BF> hour and a half performance with just him and his guitar.  
 BF> We loved The trouper Johnny Cash, and hated the Statler Brothers 
 BF> ever since.... a bunch of pompous gits.

That's a great story; he was a great musician who never lost his
humility.

     Title: Boiled And Roasted Maple Seeds
Categories: Wild, Info
  Servings: 1

           Maple seeds

Notes: It's best NOT to soak the seedlings first to remove wings.
Dry is just as easy and doesn't prune up your hands.

Uncooked tastes like raw, past maturity lima beans - not my favorite
taste sensation.  A little bitter.

Boiled for a minute with a little butter.  Tastes like a cross
between peas and asparagus.  Very tasty.  Texture is like peas.

Boiled then lightly fried in a little butter, garlic powder and just
a pinch of salt.  It was ok but seemed to be missing something.
Boiled was better.

Boiled then roasted in oven until crispy/crunchy.  Very good.  Makes
a good tasty addition to salad.  Seems to store well.

Downside.  It takes a LOT of seedlings to make a handful of seeds.
It took two people (me and my 11 year old daughter) about 45-60
minutes to de-wing 1 cup of seeds.  We made a race out of it to see
who could de-wing the most and still seemed to take forever.
