Humble breakfast - local flavors

Pinyon pine syrup, crushed desert almond. Stone ground wild and regular oats, crushed wild barley and great brome (type of foxtail) grains. Apple chunks.

Bowl made with local clay and recycled dead branches of mulefat for chopsticks.

Lots of work behind this simple breakfast bowl but so worth it.

tokor mamahar · baccharis salicifolia · mulefat · batamote

Tokor mamahar is an evergreen blooming shrub that can grow up to 12 feet tall. Its leaves are visually similar to willow, but the lower leaves dry out and turn brown unlike willows. The flowers bloom almost all year long, and its seeds are dispersed through the wind. The flowers are very popular with butterflies and bees. It commonly grows near water sources, often near willow trees which look similar, leading to another of its English names- seep willow. 

It is often used for construction, sometimes houses or small sweathouses. The branches grow very strong and straight, making them perfectly suited for making arrows.

Mulefat (Baccharis salicifolia). Normally found in riparian and wetland areas, this is a common plant found growing on the dry slopes of Kenneth Hahn Park. But does it actually make mules fat?

Clockwise. We used #Cochieal (Dactylopius Coccus Costa) to dye dark red #yarn. Then a concoction of #pericón (Tagetes Lucida) + #mulefat (Baccharis Salicifolia) + Pomegranate to get that shade of moss green. And finally to dye shades of #blue we used #indigo on a natural fermentation and another with a #hidrosulfite reaction (darker shade). 《》 《》 《》 #dixzarugsandorganicfarm #dixzarugs #dixza #zapotecweavers #zapotecrugs #rugs #bohostyle #indigenous #naturaldyes #interiordesign #slowcraft #teotitlandelvalle #Oaxaca #crafts #folkart #weaving #art #instatravel #instatraveling #travel #travelgram #wanderlust   (at Dixza Rugs & Organic Farm)

Friction fire via hand drill is perhaps the most challenging. I consider it more of a "native" or "bushcraft" skill, than an emergency survival skill. It can definitely ruin your hands, which are rather important in the field. It is tiring, and requires very very dry materials. However, the feeling when you achieve one is amazing. I use the long stick method here, much like spinning a 24" arrow. The drill is "mulefat" and the board is the fruiting branch of the native fan palms. #survival #bushcraft #primitiveskills #hiker #backpacker #hunter #survivalschool #coynesurvival #camping https://www.instagram.com/p/B1Mde_olZg2/?igshid=u4l7ckorzxn

We @enrichla were so honored to have @_native_hummingbird share with us not only his knowledge of native plants but also his heart felt outlook on life itself. Through Nick's Native American heritage he carries with him both the pain and wisdom of his ancestors, many of whom have been eradicated. Nick dedicates his life to ecological restoration, and his passion to maintain our ecosystem is deeply rooted in his belief that everything in this life is connected. California is a biological diverse hotspot, but it's native plants are facing extinction. Every native plant has a gift. Whether it be food or medicine, it grows here for a purpose, and we must do our part in saving them. Nick reminded me of many important lessons that day. The things we believe to own in this life; a car, a house, our belongings...these are all in fact borrowed. But what you STAND UP for and what you take CARE of will reproduce. When we do things, not for ourselves, but for those that will be here long after we are gone, we leave a lasting impact. OWN only what you do in life, because you don't own anything else. We are simply borrowing our existence. Be grateful for every single second you are alive, and let's take care of the only home we've got, not just for ourselves, but for those that have yet to come. I plant this mulefat for us all. ❤️🌱#TheFuddhist #EnrichLA #NativePlants #PlantForLife (at El Sereno Junior High)
