Dandelions and Egg recipe -Old time breakfast

Dandelions and Egg recipe
Old Amish recipe

*make sure your dandelions are not completely mature-
older dandelion stalks are too bitter to fry up.

Fry dandelion greens in butter until crisp.
They will turn black as they cook as
they are supposed to, so dont think they are burned.
Just be sure to continue to add more butter, a little at a time.
Be sure and add a little salt too.
If you can still see any green, then they need more frying.

When the dandelions are done, kinda black looking
put some eggs on top, cover your pan and turn the burner off.
Let them sit on the burner till the eggs are done.
tastes just like bacon and eggs if you do them up right.

Saucer Magnolia - I'm looking forward to Spring

Saucer Magnolia

The Saucer Magnolia is one of my all time favorite Magnolias. This time of year my thoughts begin to turn towards Spring and the first blooms I anxiously anticipate are the blooms of the Magnolia. The Saucer Magnolia gets its name from the large size and shape of its beautiful saucer-shaped bloom. If you have never seen a magnolia in bloom or caught the magnificent fragrance of these Southern beauties, you simply must make plans for Spring 2007 !!!
Now that the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over, it is time to start looking forward to seeing all of your favorite trees and flowers in bloom !!!
There is no better to chase away the Winter blues, than to grab a cup of hot cocoa or a cuppa coffee and start browsing the net to help you make plans for your Spring and Summer garden.
