Buster, as a carpenter I once worked with liked to say: "ya gotta die of something it might as well be..." you fill in the blank.
For me, steamed beet greens with a humongous pile of butter is just damn fine.
As for night shades, the only thing I love more than beet greens is 'taters and spinach with a bunch of olive oil or butter.
My wife tries to give me the old "spinach has too much oxalic acid" crap, and I just give her the raised eyebrow look.
I know the beets, onion dago dressing thing. I like it, but sometimes people slip in the green beans. I like those steamed with butter/garlic alone next to chicken.
Harvested a salad spinner full of snow peas today. gonna remove the strings and freeze them.
I was big on canning last year, but we got this freezer (lowes, haha) and although I was born in Georgia, I like my greens green, not BDU green.
