OMCs/OMDs you will never believe what happened here at the homestead last Saturday.
Mom and Dad came home with nearly 8 lbs of fresh collards.
I KNEW I NEEDED TO TAKE
COVER
THERE WAS WATER FLYING AND MOM KEPT TOSSING COLLARD STALKS AT THE TRASH CAN ON THE FLOOR.
MOM HAD 3 BUNCHES TO WASH AND PREPARE
FOR COOKING. THIS IS THE FIRST BUNCH
FINALLY THEY WERE WASHED AND READY TO
COOK AT 3:47. THANK GOODNESS I WAS SMART ENOUGH
TO TAKE COVER. I WAS SURE THEY WERE ABOUT
TO JUMP OUT OF THE POT
THEN THEY STARTED TO COOK DOWN
BY 3:55 PM THEY WERE READY TO
SAMPLE
MOM AND DAD WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW TASTY THEY WERE. REST ASSURED THIS IS ONE THING I WAS NOT ABOUT TO TASTE. I DO NOT EAT VEGGIES
EVEN WHEN THEY ARE TOPPED WITH BACON.
MOM WILL SERVE HALF OF THEM ON THANKSGIVING\
AND THE OTHER HALF ON CHRISTMAS.
MOM HERE: THIS IS A TRUE STORY. MADI HEARD THE COMMOTION, CAME TO CHECK IT OUT THEN SOUGHT
SHELTER.
I would try them. I like veggies. And EVERYTHING is better with bacon.

Woof! Woof! WHAT? Christmas ... that should be all gone by Thanksgiving. Hey! Its Tasty Tuesday on my blog. Add this post/url on the hop. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy was wondering bout those wonderful collard greens! We luv your little hidey spot in the chair under the table. How sweet of the Mom to put a pillow in it for your comfort. Have a happy Tuesday to my favorite tuxie. (Shh, don't tell Precious!) ((Hugs)) from your mancat, Prancer PIe.
ReplyDeleteIs this another lesson in "language of the South"?! We had to look up what Collards are! We have something very similar but they are called either Greens,Spring greens or Kale. I'd probably eat trhem if they were chopped up....and especially with bacon! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteWe'd have eaten the bacon!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
We in this household share in Deccy's confusion. For a moment I thought it was some sort of duck - now that would have been exciting.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Bertie.
Wow, that is a lot of greenery in your kitchen. I think I may have tried it beclaws I will try anything once, but I would leave the bacon for Simba. You found the perfect place to shelter from the splashes ;)xx
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Madi! Not sure I would want to eat any green stuff either!
ReplyDeleteLovies, Miss MIndy
What are collards Madi? We have never heard of them. Yikes I'd hide too specially as we don't do green things either. Have a terrific Tuesday my little Diva.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Collards sure iz funny things...start out so big and end up so small *giggle* as long as dey haz bacon I wud probably try dem but I unnerstand dat kittehs not so food adventurous...we dawgs eat anything *snoogles*
ReplyDeleteYuck. We don't think we'd want to eat them, even with bacon. It's a toss-up for our mom too, if the consistency of collars is like cooked spinach (not sure!). :-)
ReplyDeleteMadi....you should try it. I never thought I'd like lettuce and now it's my most favorite thing to eat, especially if Mom puts a tomato on top.
ReplyDeleteWill you be having fried okra too? Must be fried in bacon grease, but I'm sure your mom knows that.
ReplyDeleteYum, I'll eat any veggies but I'd love them even more, if her in doors put Bacon on them :) xx00xx

ReplyDeleteThat sure looks like a good hidey spot to keep away from flying collards and all the water splashing about. I know what collards are, but how do you keep the cooked ones to serve later (especially until Christmas)?
ReplyDeleteCindy & Millie
My Mom has never had collard greens nor does she think she would like them. She doesn't do spinich either. You were smart to stay far, far away!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lily Belle
I would've sought shelter too, Madi. You never know what those sneaky greens are going to do!
ReplyDeleteThey do get nutty this time of year
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Take cover, Madi! I have a feeling there will be more of this action! Tell Mom I am busy, busy, busy, but also happy, happy, happy! Hugs to all of you!
ReplyDeleteGood thinking, Madi! Take Cover!!! LOL
ReplyDeletePeek a boo, we see you!
Kitchen Snupervisor in Stealth Mode! :)
i thought ALL the stories here were True! MOL BOL LOL... I hate picking collards, i hate washing collards, i hate cooking collards, but I LOVE eating them... so keep a plate set for me. daddy grew greens year round in his garden, which ever would grow in that season, collards, mustard, turnip greens. the mustard greens we could also eat on a sandwich like lettuce. fond memories. did Madi tell you they STINK?
ReplyDeleteNham nham! I´m hungry!
ReplyDeleteGreens are gross. My humans like them too. What's wrong with them?
ReplyDeleteNora
Collards are good eating Madi. You need to eat your veggies to keep your Diva girl figure!
ReplyDeleteWe must admit we have never seen any collards around here. But Mom loves spinach and beet greens, so maybe she needs to give those big green leaves a try too - and then she can share the bacon with us.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Phantom, Thunder, Ciara, and Lightning
I love almost all of our southern greens. But I simply cannot abide the smell of collards cooking. So we never have them at our house.
ReplyDeleteLol - always, always run far far away from veggies Maddie! ;)
ReplyDeleteThey look yummy! I certainly would give them a try! Happy Thanksgiving, my friends!
ReplyDeleteOh yum! I love collard greens! Madi, you are missing out!
ReplyDeleteI would share it with my staff: the bacon for me and they could have the whole collard. I'm a goooood dog ;o)
ReplyDeleteMadi, thank COD, you took cover. You just never know when things are going to boil over. None of us are collard eaters here either. Hope the peeps enjoy their Turkey day food. Hope all of you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHi Madi...Sugar sent me your lovely comment and also noted that I need to turn something off in order to allow you to comment on our blog TerrierTorrent...I am not very good with the wordpress settings so if there's any way you could contact me and let me know what it is I need to turn off I'll be glad to do so Thanks so much Beth & @GizmoGeodog ...

ReplyDeleteHi Madi...Beth & Gizmo here again...I went into wordpress settings and made some changes...if you get a chance please try and comment again so I can see if it's worked Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMadi, I'm with you ~ pffft! No. Thank. You.
ReplyDeleteBacon....maybe...
Kisses,
Ruby
mmmmmmm, Mommy loves collards! Sweet Pea will nibble on 'em too.
ReplyDeleteGood move Madi, never know what a carzy women in the kitchen will lose it over, and then there could be flying knifes, or pots or even food!
ReplyDeleteYour Furiends
Susie & Bites
Pees; we just run when we start hearing load words from the kitchen!
Holy Collard Greens, Madi! We don't think we'd eat those either...but we'd eat that bacon!!
ReplyDeleteWe have never heard of collards, but we don't like veggies anyway unless it is a bit of grass stuck to the mousies we are nomming.
ReplyDeleteMadi, we think you are very wise to seek cover!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
I have never tasted collards. Trudy says she and Grandpa would never touch them, but Nonnie loves greens, so she would give them a try. Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteKolchak would have slurped the right up off the floor, no question! He loves his veggies! Thanks for joining in the Tasty Tuesday hop!
