    Many greens from root vegetables are edible
    The best of the genre, to me, are sweet potato leaves
    I've not had them. I never see sweet potato shoots and leaves in

    Someone on one of the echoes (I think) told of
    trying to propagate sweet potatoes on the back
    landing of their apartment and failing miserably;
    it later transpired, according to the poster,
    that the dreaded immigrant neighbors (presumably
    Southeast Asian) were stealing the leaves.

    stores. I suspect one must grow their own, at least in this country,
    to be able to harvest greens. And as they need long, hot summers
    I've never tried to grow them.

    They may be easier to grow than you think. You
    might experiment with tuber ends in rich soil in
    a sunny place. The greens are said to grow fast.

    Radish leaves
    A sort of mustardlike accent, I'd guess.
    More like peppery turnip tops.

    Ah.

    Orange & peach Snowballs:
    The standard Snowball is 2 oz Advocaat
    My version is 1 oz each Advocaat and vodka
    I thought you didn't care for creamy drinks.
    I generally don't but can make an exception for that one.

    I kind of like creamy sweet things, though
    (perhaps partially because) they're crummy for
    me. Anyhow, you do with what you have.

    I've decided that I'm not overly fond of coconut cream in drinks as
    well as dairy cream. I doubt if I'll be buying any more coconut
    cream or milk in the foreseeable future. I do like green coconut
    water though, even canned.

    Again our tastes diverge, not a big thing.

    3 oz Coconut water
    1 1/2 oz Light rum
    2 ts Fresh lime juice
    2 ts Sugar or to taste
    Ice cubes
    I'd make up a simple syrup rather than use granular sugar. - JW

    Strikes me that it would take a while to dissolve
    that much sugar. A syrup would ease that task, but
    I'm not sure that the effort and possibly a little
    residual graininess in the bottom aren't part of
    the charm.
