Hey.
It tasted pretty good, though I have to try and experiment a bit to give it ...something more. I like to experiment when cooking. Maybe I'll do something like Netzach suggested, though I try to use as little oil in cooking as possible, even if it's olive oil.
One of the directions on the package say boil them for 20 minutes, which gave me the idea: cook 'em like spinach.
Still, the cooking website that gave me the yen to try out the collard greens suggested cooking them for 20 minutes too. IDK... Maybe it's longer if you leave in the stems?? They said to cut out the stems and ribbon the leaves.
One website I just looked up said it depends on how young the greens are when they are harvested. "Younger greens are sweeter and cook faster."

Well let us know if you come up with something good! I love them when my sister in law makes them, but haven't had much success myself... maybe it is our source, as she lives several states away. Probably not

Same as I mentioned before in the F..... thread, ham and/or turkey and cheese sandwiches and breakfast burritos. Oh, and a knife I'm trying to re-melt to pry out of the dishwasher. A tasty combination

Oyakodon for Mister and his friend. It's chicken and onion in savory sauce cooked in egg and served over rice. Dinner wasn't ready when they arrived so I made sure to set out some edamame to snack on.
Sounds a little bit like okonomiyaki, deconstructed. Though I'm sure that is simply my unfamiliarity with the dish... sounds tasty, too

Okonomiyaki is very different. Donburi is a dish served over rice or with rice thus oyakodon(buri). Okonomiyaki is often described as a pancake. It consists of chopped or shredded cabbage mixed with a batter and depending on region either mixed with various meats and veggies or topped with them. Generally served with tonkatsu sauce, mayo, nori, or katsuobushi.
I think after this I should have just given links, lol.I take creative ways of reinventing the wheel sometimes.
This afternoon I had a grilled cheese sandwich ...but it wasn't grilled.
I figured out once during college that what I like about grilled cheese was the crunchiness combined with the gooey cheesy taste. So, I popped two pieces of bread into the toaster, took the toast out, placed a slice of cheese in-between, put it in the microwave for 10 seconds and voila!
Low fat version of grilled cheese.
I never had Sheppard's pie until I was in my late twenties or so. I was an instant addict. The problem was, I rarely had the time to cook when I was that age (my professional job insisted I work 80+ hours a week. Oh, the joys of being salaried!)
When I got home I was usually spent and didn't feel like cooking for 1+ hours.
So, I created a short cut that gave me a Sheppard's pie substitute. I'd get a can of Campbell's beef chunky vegetable soup, some instant potato mix, make the instant potato, pour on top of the soup in a corningware pot, and place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Later on, I was taught the trick to get the instant potato topping to look/taste twice-baked.
Still takes about 20-30 minutes to make it from beginning to end, but cooking a potato to mash it usually takes at least 30 minutes by itself.
I can't have beef anymore, but for dinner tonight I think I'm going to reinvent my own reinvention and try to use a chicken vegetable soup version of Sheppard's pie instead.
One day maybe I'll release my recipes for meatballs (which everyone who had it swore I made Swedish meat balls - they were THAT tasty), and the recipe for a pizza made of beef, which I simply called a "meat pizza" (I was 17).
Too hungry right now to explain it all.

Salmon en papillotte, with Jersey Royals and the first asparagus from the garden together with tiny peas and Hollandaise. Then Limoncello icecream with fresh raspberries and tiny rose-flavoured meringues.
I love Spring.
