Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I doubt I will be able to find tansy around here. I'd love to give the recipe a try. Maybe I could sub it. Give me a clue as to what I could sub it with. When I make my zucchini bread I can pretty much use the basic recipe and sun the zucchini for grated asparagus or chayote, chayote is quite moist so I press the water out of it after it's been grated. Oh and whatever magic potion you are making for your boss send me the same in extra strength........and mix a bunch of cascara in it too....LOL Donna --- Gary Mattingly <gsmattingly wrote: > Some call is a noxious weed.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I don't have that plant, Cascara Sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana), or rather tree, although I can get it. Don't know if it would fit in the yard though. I can get Buckthorn Bark (Rhamnus frangula) from Lhasa Karnak in Berkeley though which has similar effects. Tansy has been substituted for sage. Possibly the other direction will work. I wonder if lovage would work. If you live near a populated area (do I remember Southern California or is that some false memory implant?) I would bet there is someplace where you could buy but admittedly not in any normal grocery stores. I could send you some leaves if you like. Tansy has also been used in omelettes and custards/puddings.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Great Gary, I will email you my address and I'll make you a CD in return. I will make those cookies. I love to make cookies with herbs in them, very unique flavor!

In our area, you are required by law, to pull it and burn it...it tends to spread as fast as dandy-lions do... There are plus's and minus's to all things . ______________________________\ ____ Be a better Globetrotter. Get better travel answers from someone who knows.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Try your zucchini bread recipe with yellow summer squash. I always add just a bit less liquid, but it comes out with a crunchy, almost grainly crust. Yummy. I like it getter than real zunnhini break.
