I shouldn't wonder that Bill would have an awesome recipe for southern greens. Being a Louisiana boy, I am sure he was raised on recipes such as this. I was first introduced to Southern greens when we moved to Maryland while Sam was in the service.
That was also where I was introduced to Possums. Little did I know that they were living in our dirt floor basement under our house. One morning, I found that one had crawled up through the shower drain and was sitting there as I stepped in. Folks said they heard the scream clear down to Popp's store where all the local boys hung out. I don't wonder! (Hope you can hear the thick accent)
Anyway, back to the greens, they were the best I've tasted so I gave them a V+ which means I would definitely cook them again but it is not a real company type of dish, just good ole' home cookin' kind a dish. I used just 2 T of curry powder and that made it plenty hot. The potatoes in this dish were heavenly.
I also made Downeast Maine Pumpkin Quick Bread, pg 163, which I actually baked as muffins. The light texture was wonderful but they tasted rather flat. I am going to experiment with them to see if I can perk them up. They might need more Braggs or cranberries.
The big news is that Trader Joe's opened today in Portland to record crowds. So much so, that the streets and parking lots were grid locked. People were even parking at Whole Foods and walking over. I am sure Whole Foods loved that !!!
