I make a pretty tasty dandelion soup. I got it from Yankee Magazine years ago. It's basically a Portugese kale soup but I've changed things a little.
Ingredients:
6 medium size potatoes ( I use Idaho )
2lbs. of Chourico sausage
1 onion
4 tbl. spoons of chopped garlic ( the pre-bottled stuff)
8 cups of water
2 bunches of dandelions or any green leafy veggie ,kale,spinach,beet greens,collard greens.
In a good size pot drizzle a little olive in the bottom and saute the onion and garlic.
Add the water, while water is heating up cut up the potatoes to about 1/4" slices.
When the potatoes are all cut up put them in the pot. While the potatoes are cooking ,fry the sausages until done. When they are done cut them into 1/4" slices.
Add sausages to pot. Take the dandelion(no stems)and chop them all up.Ten minutes after the sausage go in put the dandelions in. Ten minutes after that you ready to eat.Add salt and pepper to taste.
WooHoo...guess who has Fluff in the house...um, wait that doesn't sound right! My connections came through. Actually, they informed me that a certain grocery store carries Fluff sometimes. LOL, this whole time it's been on a shelf less than two miles from my house. Of course the jar my connections supplied me with was used for fluffernutters. I bought a new jar today (I'm still in shock that I was able to do this). Can you imagine being so giddy over a jar of marshmallow creme? I didn't need a bag...I bet the cashier thought I was being environmentally friendly...well normally that'd be the case, but this time it's 'cuz I just wanted to admire my purchase, lol. I held it in one hand & in the other I held my son's hand...we skipped to the car and sang, "we have Fluff, we have Fluff!"
Guess who's making Whoopie Pies for Easter??
southernjewishgal, Sorry I didn't see your post sooner.... It is a New England treat. I found an interesting article on the history of the Whoopie Pie too Whoopie Pie, Whoopie Pie History and Recipe

Haha Boo, I am glad you finally got your "Fluff". I have 4 jars in my cabinet, you never know when the mood is going to strike for some spicy pumpkin whoopie pies. You will have to let me know how yours turn out on Easter. Thanks for the link with the story on whoopie pies too.
I'm glad you got your Fluff, Boo. We never liked Marshmallow Creme when we were in Misery (Missouri) but that's all there was. WE got care packages every once in a while and Fluff was always included. Too bad lobster wasn't included more often... ANYWAY, I was wondering what you mean by frankfurter buns... and how they differ from regular hot dog buns. I never knew there was a difference LOL.
One thing that (if you like hot dogs) you need to try out here is a steamed Essem natural casing hot dog. Nothing like it! I might eat 2 hot dogs a year, but when I do have one, it's gotta be an Essem.
Y'essem, it's Essem!

Boo - Happy to hear you got your fluff! I can just picture you and your son skipping in the parking lot!
Hubby loves Wheatena and we could not find it anywhere up here. When we asked about it in the stores, they looked at us like we had 3 heads or something. We'd have relatives send us some from NY and when we visited, we'd stop and get some, then we ran out...Hubby going through Wheatena withdrawal was not a pretty site - I finally ordered a case of it via the internet so he can always get his "fix."

It seems frankfurter buns & hot dog buns are interchangeable, but I think they are two different things. The New England frankfurter bun is also used for lobster rolls. I would take a lobsta roll over a dog anytime! But sometimes a good hot dog hits the spot...I'll have to try an Essem.
Anyway...I found a really good example of a frankfurter bun...but it's on someone's blog & I don't think I can link it to CD. It's the flat sided buns split at the top that you butter & pan fry. A hot dog bun has rounded top, flat bottom (with crust) & split on the side...usually they are steamed. Does this make sense?
I think the New England style buns taste much better...no matter how you slice a regular hot dog bun and even if it's fried in butter...it still just doesn't cut the mustard!

Colebrook - This sounds good, but would probably have to use spinach instead of dandelions for hubby<g>. Do you make dandelion wine? The last time I had that was back in high school when a classmate and his family would make it, but would never say HOW they made it! Must have been a "family secret" of some short <g>
Fluff is made in Lynn, Massachusetts. Local food makes good!!
And if you're not lucky enough to live in New England...or have a store near you to skip to then you can also buy it via the internet. There is also raspberry & strawberry Fluff.

I'd be cranky too if someone cut back on my fiber intake. Good thing for the internet!!
