Not crazy about turnip greens. Kale is so-so. I love most fresh vegetables grown in the area where I was raised in VA. If not for my love of a good, rare steak I would be a vegetarian.

I draw the line with green peas. Spent many a night locking horns with my parents. My stubbornness is unmatched. :-) I held out & won each time.

I am a pepper person. I even put it on my cantaloupe and in my tomato juice. I use very little salt.

Getting hungry just thinking about it

Let me tell you my story about green peas. I thought I did not like them until the 2nd or 3rd grade. My teacher talked me into just trying a spoon full. I did and loved them. I grew up on a MS farm and grew most of our food and some fruit. We grew sweet potatoes, too but not very much. One of my dad's relatives was a sp farmer so we bought them from him by the bushel baskets. One of my mom's uncles grew fruit so we bought fruit from him. Now, they are all gone and I only have my precious memories. The wife of a cousin died the last day of 2016. Her funeral is tomorrow. We will really miss her since she was a wonderful Christian lady who did my mom's genealogy. She touched many lives. I told someone on here a few days before her death that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. She had a massive heart attack at home. Very, very unexpected. We just never know. God bless.
