Right on, Debbie! Your post is most inspiring—makes me want to break into song (it’s late, I’m punchy). I would have included kohlrabi, the best greens of them all, but couldn’t figure out a rhyme.
(Sung, of course, to the tune of “My Favorite Things,” with apologies to Julie Andrews…)
Kale and canola, and spinach and Swiss chard,
Collards and mustards that grow in my back yard,
Old cabbage shoots and some weeds that I glean
These are a few of my favorite greens…
When I’m hungry
I want something
That will make me glad
I simply chow down on my favorite greens
And then I don’t feel so bad…
