supplementals: bits of dried sea grass, collected on the riverside (we live on the inlet to the Chesapeake Bay) and soaked in salt water to rehydrate, shredded hibiscus petal/stamen, cut up cherry leaf, cut up bits of fresh coconut soaked in coconut milk and a tiny clam fished out of the shallows of the river, steamed in salt water and cut into bits....
