Cooking with konagod & txrad

I started blanching collard greens around 4:30 for freezing. I held back enough fresh ones for a nice batch with tonight's meal: purple hull peas, mac & cheese, veggie patties, corn bread, and some chow chow shipped to me from my mom which was made by the guy who used to farm our land. He's in his 80s and makes the stuff every year. txrad prepared the peas; I did the rest.

Yum! THIS is comfort food for a cold wintry night.
