I've never tried purslane although I used to have plenty of it growing
everywhere. My mother was like your MIL. She grew up on a farm and
could point out all the good stuff growing along roadsides.

Yes, that's right, although botulism is also a concern with the
anaerobic environment in the jar.

And it's the perfect time of year for you, isn't it? Harvest time.

I recall my ex and I would fight over the pickled garlic cloves.

That sounds very good too. Yes, it's harvest time here, but we don't
have a veggie patch at the moment.

True enough many times. This is what people here (in my area, not
rfc) do all the time so it's natural teasing to me. Said with a
serious face but only to people that know that I'm kidding
around. I always mistakenly assume that RFC knows my 'Don Rickles
style' of humor by now. My "mean teasing" is always based on
reality. No one likes to be teased about something they actually
do.

Ever see a "Roast" on the Comedy Channel? That's my style of
humor.
All jokes are based on reality and mean but it's all in fun. The
target person
laughs and doesn't get offended. The target person also gets to
say the
final words.....right back at ya.

Did anyone here see the Donald Trump roast before the election?
Funny.
