Yeppers.
I went out Saturday and had a blast with the niece and
great-nephews.
I plan on going several times more this years if fuel stays low.
What?
You have your own business - just charge it off. :)
Went float tubing Saturday. Does that count?

Hell yeah, you can. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences!!!!
I eat at Cracker Barell just so I can get their bowl of turnip greens
and ham.

My wife, being a true southern belle, likes greens and is always trying
to get me to try them...again. She always orders greens when they are
available at Cracker Barrel. It's an acquired taste, I think. I don't
like them.

What, exactly, are greens? How are they cooked? Cauliflower, cabbage,
and the rest are great raw. Cooked looses a lot.

The best known would probably be turnip, kale, collard and spinach.
I'm not a fan of kale or spinach, although I'll take 'em if offered.

Here's a recipe for collards similar to what I do. I don't use ham
hocks or smoked turkey, but use bacon instead. I also add a tablespoon
or so of balsamic vinegar as they're cooking. I cook a large batch at
one time, as many as can be stuffed into a plastic grocery bag. This
usually gives me about 4-5 big servings of collard greens.

My neighbor, a black man with a huge family born and raised in south GA,
is the collard master. To be honest, any time he starts cooking his old
time stuff (what some would call soul food now) I'm right there! He
cooks like my aunt did, no recipe.
