Collard Greens, Swiss Chard and More Turnips

I really need to cook up our garden collard greens.  Our swiss chard is looking great too.  I'm going to search around the Internet and my cookbooks for more turnip recipes as well.  With 3 pounds of ground turkey thawing, I think a nice turkey burger to go along with all of this will make a nice meal.

Yesterday I made 3 quarts of refrigerator pickles and 1 1/4 quarts of homemade salsa.  The salsa was a hit.  I used a recipe from a library book I borrowed, and substituted ground coriander for fresh cilantro.  With extreme heat here this year, my cilantro went to seed early.  I also used a cayenne pepper from the garden instead of a hot chili pepper.  It was a huge hit and they want me to make more today.

Update on Stray Puppy aka "Molly"

It was a bittersweet day today, as we put "Molly" into my brother's truck.  She is now joining another family and has a playmate she gets along with.  She will be loved and nurtured and we were glad to be a part of it.  Now the kids think they are hot potatoes when it comes to "fostering" puppies.  If we do have the oppurtunity to foster any, I'm sure you'll read about it here.
