As far as cresses go, those are great. We'd fix poke (polk) however you want to spell it the same way. Served with some soup beans, cornbread, a big onion, and some fried taters'. But you know what the lost art is? The way your grandmother could fix enough food for twenty people. Not only could she do it, but everything got done at the same time! Everything was put on the table at the same time. I can't duplicate that now with the aid of a microwave. Boy those are good memories. Chip
