Random Grocery Store Encounter

So I’m at the grocery store minding my own business just scooting in to pick up a few things and I decide that I haven’t bought any greens in a while for my side dish “sauté's” that I love. So I pick up a bag of pre-cut and triple washed Euro Greens and decide to also pick up a bag of kale to try in a Green Monster this week:

So on I go and out of no where this couple approaches me and says, “Excuse me, but I just had to ask. We are from California and we make those Cut ‘n Clean bags and wondered how much you like them?” To a normal person, this would be no big deal, but to a health and food blogger like moi, I was so excited! (Normal?!) I started gushing about the greens saying how much I loved them and started eating them about 6 months ago having never even tried greens like that before in my life, how much I loved the convenience factor etc. She started asking me which ones I liked the best etc. and I was like, “Well I’m not as big of a fan of the kale as I am the other mixed ones, but that I couldn’t really tell the difference. I told her I just sauté them with peppers and onions and garlic etc. She then went on about how the Country Greens had a more “robust” flavour bla bla and I started thinking to myself, “Jeez now not only do I have to catch up on wines and coffee, but now I’ve got the whole ‘collard green’ world of connoisseurs to conquer too?!” I was laughing to myself at this point. She directed me to the back of the bag where there’s a website for 150 recipes using the greens.

It’s too bad she didn’t hand over some coupons or something, but I’m happy to explore 150 ways to incorporate collards into my life just the same :oD
