I often wonder if Lisa 's behavior outside the house involves alot of throwing up in bathrooms like Karen Carpenter. She is very thin.I don't mean this to be rude but I have wondered about it.

Wendo...don't assume everyone has or knows what Collard Greens are....i have eaten plenty of BBQ ribs and Chicken but have NEVER eaten or seen 'collard greens'....what are they anyway, and 'grits' don't know much about them either....

I am from Canada however...and we have stuff like Poutine here that people in the south seem to not have heard of....so don't think lisa isn't worldly for not knowing what collard greens are!

ouch Lynn.....don't make assumptions like that...i'm exceptionally skinny and have been teased all my life about it...even accuse of having Boulemia and Anoerxia when I eat like a pig.....Lisa herself admitted she eats like a pig in the house and hasn't gained anything (or at least looks like she hasn't)

I'm sorry cute but Lisa seems painfully thin and it did cross my mind. She also seems sickly alot. I hope she isn't.

I know that your comment comes from concern but it sometimes seems like people won't make comments about people being overweight but seem to think it's ok to abuse people for being underweight (not that you are one of those people lynn...but it has happened on this board)
I'm just sensitive because it has happened to me and i was just as ostrazized in High school for being too skinny when others are for being too fat.

Anyway..i'm sorry for going off subject....carry on with loving amy

Cute, well, I'm not surprised about the collard greens (it's like spinach but honestly, I'm not an expert, someone with knowledge will hopefully post about them.) However, I was surprised about the ribs. It's just funny, ya know. LOL!

Cute,
collard greens are just that. Greens. Sold in bunches and we trim it like you would cabbage and boil with hambone to season it. Thats it. Not something I serve at my house but have eaten it often. It's not really a southern dish...I didn't think. Grits are southern.

Lisa had either never eaten a plum or seen one. I don't remember which. Anyway, she didn't know what it was. This is what first got everyone's attention. Not making fun, just wondering why.

lol..if the're spinach why not just call them that lol!!
I actually laughed about the ribs myself...both my hubby and I were like what? when she said she had never seen ribs....I love ribs!

Also....(write down the date) for all those Amy fans out there...I actually have something nice to say. I don't think that was a bad shot of her at all eating those ribs...I was quite impressed with her ability to keep her mouth clean.
That was the most daintily eaten ribs I have ever seen!

Greens? Like what kind of greens? They can't be just 'greens'...they have to be from a plant...comon now you guys...you can do better than they are just 'greens'!

Cute, well, they're not spinach, just similar. Willsfan posts explains collard greens perfectly. (Thanks Willsfan!)

Yeah, I thought that too about Amy eating the ribs. I'm usually a MESS after eating them.

Cute, here ya go:

Collard Greens

Collards grow two to three feet tall and have
tufted rosettes of leaves growing on sturdy stems. Collards are a kind of kale.

Collards are hardy and can tolerate low
temperatures.  They're also more tolerant of
heat than some members of the cabbage family.
Here in zone 4 you can get in two crops by
planting in early Spring and again in July.
Collards like fertile well drained soil.  They are usually started from transplants.  If the stems are leggy, plant deeply in the soil to prevent them from breaking off.

Collards become sweeter if harvested after a
frost, but harvest them before a hard freeze.
They are ready for harvest in about 75 days.
Collards have a high content of vitamins A & C.

LOL Okay, okay collard greens are "headless" members of the cabbage family. It has a softer, sweeter more mellow taste than cabbage. Not bitter like spinach.

thank you! Kale...now i know what that is! My hubby is a produce manager in a grocery store so we get everything in the world in our house that grows out of the ground. I knew it had to have a specific name!

Lol...Kale....i always think of the cheers episode where Woody has to drink the Veggie juice for a commercial when I think of kale.

Ok...thanks for the cuisine lesson!...no one commented on whether they knew what Poutine was....oh well I suppose that is a conversation for a different thread...I wonder if Amy has heard of Poutine...probably not..she seems to think the South is the whole world...oops sorry....didn't mean to say something bad about Amy on her 'I like' thread!

Actually, I saw something about french fries, in gravy with (cheese?) on the Food Channel and this guy was eating them like crazy.

So, I know what it looks like but do you use regular gravy (beef stock,flour,milk)?

Yuppers willsfan...but it's with cheese curds not cheese...it's a french canadian thing...Emeril made it on the food channel once. It is sooooo good and sooooo not good for you!

I agree. I've had the same experience. And resent the implied sickly, Anorexic comments.

Oh, anyway. At one time or another they were all sick with a cold. Amy, Lisa and Dani. I don't recall Jason catching it...hmmmm. I think Amy had the worse of it. Or at least it seemed that way, as she complained the most, and drank a whole lot of dayquil. lol that they didn't give them any NyQuil this time.

Jeeny...not that you said she was...but your list...

Just wanted to clarify..

Thanks Dagny. I was editing my post when you posted, for some other reason, and didn't see your post of the order. Thanks for pointing that out. :) Did Jason ever catch that cold?

Guys I'm sorry i ever mentioned it but i was being honest, There are so many things lisa has never heard of and she has migraines and didn't want the boat cause she knew that would make her sick too. I hope she is healthy that's all.

Actually, I live in Quebec, where they {Poutines} were born, lol, and there actually IS a special gravy for them, just most crappy restaurants will use just hot chicken or beef gravy. You can buy it {Poutine Gravy} in the stores {tinned or powdered where you add water and bring to a boil} here in Montreal, but I'm not sure about outside of Quebec.

Also, while an authentic Poutine uses Cheese Curds, most restaurants will use shredded mozzarella unless you ask specifically for the curds. It's just way easier for them to melt.

Lynnann, I've had my fair share of migraines and maybe I'm missing something, but boats are not a trigger factor. How in the world did she come to think boats are a cause of migraines?

Oooooooh, I think that maybe I'm reading your two seperate thoughts as one in the same. I've misunderstood ya haven't I?

Lynnann, I didn't mean your comments. I meant the ones people said to me personally over the years to my face. I understand you were being honest as you knew it.

Isn't it great that we have so many others to learn from? I've learned so much from posting on the Internet. I've been wrong lots of times. And was grateful when others politely pointed out to me where I was wrong. I don't think my last message was too polite. I was rushing, as I should be in bed. I'm on the East Coast and haven't been to bed yet. It's after 4AM ...well after. Sorry for being so abrupt.

Thank you for being concerned, and polite. :)

Well, if I'm ever up north and see Poutine on the menu I will have to try it! It sounds pretty good. I've eaten gravy on FFs but not with cheese curds. Yummm.

Thanks for sharing some Canadian food trivia.
