It's Not Easy Being Greens
At least not at our house. They don't last very long.
When we first moved here Jay conducted a very rigorous experiment to determine what we should plant in our garden...he went to the feed store and watched what other people were buying. The answer? Kale and turnips.
Of course at that point our garden didn't even exist, so he headed out with his hoe and his seeds and made one. This is what it looks like today, complete with the world's best gardening-helper.
You can see my pile of greens that I cut on the left.
And here's what happened to them about five minutes later.
I'll let you know how they turn out.

How fun to have a garden! And I think that is the only picture of kale I've ever seen that actually looked appetizing.
Growing up we had this bizarre meat product which was called "cottage ham." You boiled it for 8 hours in greens beans and onions. Last winter I craved it and went in search throughout Boston for this mysterious meat. No one had heard of it.
So, when my parents came to visit I had them bring us one.
The meat was unrecognizable. All the label said was "cottage ham." We have no idea what it actually is....do you think it could be the same thing as "country ham?"
