I really thought they were spoiled. The turnip greens had an extra ingredient I couldn’t quite place it. They had this almond joy type of taste. But that couldn’t be the secret to the mystery. So I really needed to ask my sister since this was her first time preparing them for the whole family.
Big Sis. These turnip greens taste like soap, please tell me I’m wrong. Tell me this isn’t soap I taste.
Well, the greens were really dirty, I thought they could use a little soap. How else was I supposed to get the dirt out.
You shoulda asked Mamma.
I didn’t want to bother her since she was so tired anyway she already told me to add a little.
Taste like you added more than a little.
The moral of this story is soap and water works for most dirt. But if you find yourself in a sticky situation use the water of wisdom to get yourself out of a jam.
He made the church holy by the power of his word, and he made it pure by washing it with water. (Ephesians 5:26 Contemporary English Version)
