Let's start with Bob and collard greens.

THESE COME IN A CAN????? Really??? I must look for them.
I never knew that I could buy collard greens in a can.

So I gather I just heat them up, add a bit of fresh garlic, and some lemon, salt and pepper to taste, and I'm good to go!!!!??

Sounds interesting. I am sipping decaf green tea all day for my cold. Loosens everything up. I now like Green Tea (something I never thought I would).

Oh, kmeb. can you try juicing? Imagine, all the stuff you can't put in your tummy, but you might be able to put them in the juicer and it comes out all liquid. I gather you have to run this by your doctor. Not too much, but you'll get SOME of the taste.

Like this morning, when I juiced our juice. There's a produce stand near Cornell (in NYC),and yesterday I bought:

1. 4 boxes of blueberries,
2. 1 box of raspberries,
3. 1 huge box of strawberries,
4. 2 bunches of asparagus,
5. 3 heads of Romaine Lettuce,
6. 2 nice pints of grape tomatoes,

AND IT ALL COST JUST TWENTY BUCKS. This will last me the whole week.

Took it all home on the Access-a-ride.

If I went to my local supermarket, the asparagus alone would have cost me $10.00..

This morning, I just added some berries to the carrots and a bit of apple and it was the nicest anti-oxidant drink I ever had. Just 4 oz for me, but I loved it. Cornell said it's okay to do this. They don't approve of oranges when you are diabetic and they also said "it's better if you eat the fruit than if you juice it". But in my mind. I got a bit of ALL OF THE BERRIES, and the other veggies, so to me, I liked it.
