Do you use raw chard in your salad and is it just the leaf or
stalk
too? Never considered eating it raw. Funny the ruts one can get
into.

Chard is the only green we grow down here in SW Louisiana as it is
the
only one I actually enjoy eating. We use just the leaf in salads
but
when we cook it we use stalk and all. Sometimes we just graze on it
as
we go through the garden.
Although my grandfather always seemed to have chard in his garden,
we
never ate the leaves - always just boiled the stalks and had them
with
a white sauce with butter. Thanks

ok, so I'm a chard virgin....what does it taste like? how does it
compare to lettuce? Spinach? something else?

curious,
Kathi

I'm going to let someone else answer this, but it is milder than
spinach
when cooked - I don't know about raw.

"Chard Virgin," hmmmn? Sounds like something you might find next to a
volcano ;-)

Hell, I thought it was funny :-(

Oh, sorry Wilson - I thought I had replied. Yes it was funny - I had a
wee
chuckle....

Kathi

It was cute but it didn't make me wee.

well, that would have been a wee wee chuckle....;-)

I see jams and jellies selling for $5 to $7 a pint and I'm getting

Are they being purchased at that price or just being offered at that
price? Just curious ‹ I know people who are willing to pay dang near
anything just for homemade quality. Sugar prices bite right now.

Tomorrow I will put up a few pints of pickled b**ts mit onions and
probably more next week. We ate the beet greens tonight with our roast
beef and black eyed peas. Had some raw carrots out of the garden for
beginners. Tilly Dawg, unlike Sleepy Dawg, has decided carrots are for
rabbits. Ol' Sleepy would beg for them, Tilly just spits them out.
Spoiled little thing!

Are you three finally getting used to each other?

Nope, they're selling out every Saturday. Nearby small town of Starks,
LA has just finished their Mayhaw festival. Mayhaw jelly was going for
7-9 bucks per pint and they sold it all.

Yup, Miz Anne doesn't even have to wear a pork chop around her neck to
get Tilly to play with her. Tilly loves everyone whereas, as you know,
Sleepy loved me and to hell with the rest of the world. Sleepy loved
veggies of every kind but Tilly is picky, doesn't care for carrots,
cukes, squash, etc. but loves cooked beans and fruit of all kinds
including bananas. Yeah, we're locked in now, Miz Anne goes to work in
the morning and Tilly gallops to the window in the guest room and
watches out the window as she drives away. About 4 pm she goes and sits
in the window to watch for her arrival home. When I leave she sits at
the drive gate and waits for me to get home. She even likes the UPS
driver, the one Sleepy used to bark at. Different dog, different
personality, but we love her anyway.

and needs to lose a few pounds. Seems every one of her littermates
has the same problem too.

Let us know how she gets on please.

I will. I had to stop giving her the pain pills because she would ignore
the knee when the pain went away and would commence jumping on and off
the furniture again. I think the surgery will be sometime around the
11th of June. Hey, that's was my mother's birthdate, she would be 103 yo
if she was still around. MIL will be 100 yo on October 10th this year.
Why is it you wimmen live so long and us men die off early?

up wet and they don't last long. G
