[AT] OT Redbud/asparagus

Phil,

Here's what's next... yellow crook neck squash.  Good stuff!  Already has a 
flavor of its' own and will support any of the goodies folks use to make 
grits palatable.  Fried in butter it has an amazing butter flavor!

Next overlooked good food... boiled cabbage.  Same butter rules apply.  ;-)

George Willer
