sitting down at the table, as if nothing has happened
So my new stepdaughter got a Chia Elmer Fudd for Christmas and is all psyched about giving Elmer a natural. The wife and I are into it, but we were wondering - is the plant edible? A small bit of research shows that there is a family of sage called chia but we wanna know if we can give Elmer a Mohawk and decorate our salads/burgers/ice cream sundaes with the clippings. Anyone?
Oh - it’s good to be back. Happy New Year/Millennium (no 2001/2000 debates, please, I subscribe to the Odometer Theory) to you all!
Cave Diem! Carpe Canem!
Someone once gave me a Chia pet, but it wasn’t much fun to play with.
It just stood there with a dumb look on it’s face. It wouldn’t roll over or sit up or anything. I think it was dead, because fungus started growing on it … so buried it.
Yeah, you can eat the sprouts (or since it’s Elmer, spwouts). I think it says so in the directions. You threw those away? You’re in trouble now!
Nah, Auntie, we didn’t throw the directions away, honest! Actually it doesn’t say anywhere on the directions, or even on the web site www.chia.com that chia is, in fact, edible. Thus turn I, prodigal Regular of the SDMB, to the Teeming Millions for answers.

I’m not sure if this is the same chia that your pet is made of but if so, it looks like you can make a tasty beverage from Elmer.
