I have achieved collards! Had to go with the pre-washed, pre-cut bagged stuff but, you know, given what a PITA it is to clean fresh greens, I am not complaining. I will be using Alton Brown's recipe from the Good Eats episode Field of Greens, which I have never tried before. But Alton is a Georgia boy, along with being a fantastic cook, so I

but I'm having a mad craving for a cold turkey sandwich.

My last experiment was thinly-sliced Bartlett pear, sharp white cheddar, and a combo of Miracle Whip and one of those roasted red pepper bread spreads. Really good.

LOL! Well, I'll eat an extra portion and wish the good luck your way. :)

FWIW, I really liked the way this turned out with the smoked turkey leg. I also had quite a few compliments on it at the party today. The best were from folks who said "I normally hate collards but these are really good!"
