Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

The Wild Mustard Calls to Thee
"I ate a flower and two tiny leaves," said the husband. "They were hot!"
That's what happens when your ride your bicycle down a country road on a beautiful day. You just gotta stop, get off, and taste the wild mustard.
Take 25 is participating in ABC Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Mrs. Nesbitt and her friends. Today is the letter M. To check out other M posts, please click here.

ReplyDeletei'm reminded how tiny the mustard seed is that grows such a big bush.

Sounds irresistible to taste. I like the fact that he ate two leaves and a flower just to make sure, LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice for M, I love to see a field of yellow when the mustard flowers.
ReplyDeleteWild mustard greens have been part of our salads lately. A welcome bit of tang!
ReplyDeleteHollister (the real one) brings wonderful memories of my childhood when it was a stop on the route to one of favorite weekend destinations.
One of the things that I remember, that has probably not been in existence for 70 odd years, was a little stand that sold the best hamburgers I have ever eaten. They cost (gasp!) 5 cents each, a small price even then, and our family usually bought a bag of them. The buns were small compared to current standards.
Magiceye, merci beaucoup!
ReplyDeleteRoger, that takes my breath away, too.
Mar, it smells heavenly, too.
Working at home: I was tempted to harvest some but didn't have the time to go ask for permission.
Joy, my favorite of way of fixing is sauteing it in garlic and a bit soy sauce.
chuskulit, thank you.
Joy, wow, 2 Joys today. I love it.
Starnitesky, one of my favorite things about this time of year.
Granny Smith, I wonder where the hamburger stand was. Also where you were on your way, too. :-)
Ms. Burrito, danke. :-)
As an old Californian, it was a pleasure to read your post.
