What Would My Mother Say?


Sitting here, feeling old.

I was leafing through the free magazine from a neighborhood grocery and saw this section about what's in the store.

Dandelion greens.

I remember how happy my mother and grandmother were when the first dandelion greens popped up in the spring.  They would wilt them with a bacon dressing and add hard boiled eggs.

These greens were so welcomed after a winter of no fresh veggies.  My grandmother called them a tonic.

I can't admit to being a fan, but I enjoyed their delight.  And now, to buy them in a store?  

What would my mother say?
