If you give up trying to get rid of the dandelions, the next best thing is
really the best revenge: Eat the leaves in salads, or cooked according to
almost any Italian escarole recipe. Hot damn! In salads, you want a sweet
dressing to balance the bitterness of the leaves. And, once the weather gets
hot, the fun's over until next spring. The leaves get way too bitter in
summer temps.
