We had our first greens from the garden tonight; fresh young collards!
The Swiss chard will be the next greens. They get cooked with olive oil
and browned garlic. And no fear of e-coli or toxic poisons on any of
it.

Why would collards have E-coli?

This is an allusion to a problem with fresh spinach from California,
that had been infected with contaminated water.

No excrement, no e.coli. 'nuff said. Uh, however, to be on the safe
side, when you cook a hamburger, be sure it is brown or grey on the
inside, when you serve it (not pink). Otherwise, don't worry about it
and chow down. Courtesy of the USDA.

Can I have a garden burger, well done?


Sorry, gotta have the pink in my burgers/beef. Still alive and kickin,
enjoying my food as well. Like Puckdropper said, like my salad on it too.
Though, I don't consider ketchup a vegetable. More refined sugar than
anything else in its taste.


Dave,
you sort of remind me of some ol' biker buddies of mine who would get
loose by stapling each other. At least you have made an informed
decision to consent to play Russian roulette with a caca burger. I have
to admit I get vertiginous at the thought. The free market is supposed
to be based on informed consent but nobody wants to tell me if the food
I am buying is a GMO. At least with the caca burger, you might find a
butcher to sell you the sirloin and who then would grind it for you. You
may not feel better but I would:-)
