This sorrel loser

1. The $28 a week food challenge crumbled 36 hours into it. I was so good until I dragged Annie into Farm. I was exhausted and it was rainy. What is the answer? Wine and a scrumptious bacon, cheddar and tomato sandwich with fries and fresh herb mayo. Scrumptious, but certainly not within the budget unless I refrain from buying food all week. Hmmm.

2. I am the sorrel loser. So, there is this herb called Sorrel and for some reason I buy it in copious quantities. Which is not only expensive but actually DANGEROUS. Sorrel apparently contains a large quantity of oxalic acid which is toxic (according to the Joy of Cooking). So the question remains, what do I do with this vaguely delicious vaguely poisonous plant?
