Harvest when they are flowering, not when they've gone to seed.
I like the leaves steamed, with salt, pepper, vinegar and butter,
like spinach.  And it's the new flowers that are used to flavor
dandelion wine.  (Dandelions are _not_ the main ingredient in
dandelion wine -- the flowers are a flavoring added to wine made
from the usual wine ingredients, grapes or other fruit being the
bulk).

"It is not merely that I dislike, distrust and disbelieve anyone who 
seeks political office.  I would extend privacy rights even to 
politicians were it not for two countervailing circumstances.  First, 
they themselves violate privacy rights wholesale.  They regulate 
virtually everything that peaceful people can do behind closed doors, 
from taking drugs to having sex.  It is elitist hypocrisy for them to 
demand the privacy rights that they routinely deny to ordinary people.

to respect mine."					Wendy McElroy
