Sanity Snippet: Fresh collards from our garden

As of October 24, 2021, Sanity Snippets are snapshots of my daily life, those things I’m doing—such as reading, writing, biking, photographing, and gardening—to maintain sanity while living in the most regressive state imaginable. Alabama.

The collards (with a few stems of unexpected lettuce) turned out scrumptious, especially over Donna’s magnificent cornbread, along with our homemade tart and tangy pepper sauce. There’s no better eating than straight from your own garden. It’s a lot of labor, but worth every minute.
