Yay. Another greens lover!

I love all greens except spinach, which is another story. When I was
young,
my grandmother would cook collard greens and also chittlins at the same
time. Only a true southerner even knows what chittlins are. When she would
cook them, the smell was so bad the flies would be covering the screen
door
trying to get out.

One of my golfing buddies has a small farm out by Nokesville, VA. He
keeps me in collard greens most of the year. I'm not wild about
spinach either, but if the store has the bags of fresh stuff on sale I
may cook up a few bags. Fresh spinach is altogether different from
canned.

Fresh spinach is delicious. I just can't eat the steamed stuff. Tried it as
a kid, gagged like crazy. At age 35, tried it again, it looked and smelled
really good. Gagged again. Now at age 72, don't think I want to try it any
more.
