....or just 'collards' as they're properly called are a tasty green. You like 'em or you don't. My
wife is in the 'don't' category. She can't stand the smell of them cooking. I like 'em - a lot. So,
here's a way to cook 'em that tastes pretty doggone good:

Collard Greens

Grocery store bag full of Collards
Large onion
4-5 cloves garlic
5 slices bacon
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 cup Balsamic vinegar
½ tsp red pepper flakes (or something hot)

Wash and de-stem collards (don't worry about small stems).

Roll collard leaves and cut rolls about 1" wide. Boil about a cup of water in a pot and put all the
greens in the pot with the boiling water. Cover and let cook for about 12 minutes. Drain.

In the pot, fry the bacon after cutting into 1" pieces. Don't let it get done, as it will cook in
the collards.

Chop onions and garlic, add to balsamic vinegar, sugar, and hot pepper. Put collards back in pot and
add the ingredients, onions, etc. Stir, being sure to get the bacon pieces and fat mixed in well.
Cover and simmer for about one hour. Add a little water if necessary.

Your wife is right... this is one recipe of yours I probably won't
consider but do go on...

He's just got to get in something negative. He's probably never even eaten a mess of collards.

Wrong, John the Racist, as usual. Whenever we're in NW Florida, we buy a
"mess of greens" and other veggies from the roadside farm vendors.

My comment was aimed at you, for once again doing what you do
best...posting your non-boating hobbies.
