Dandelion Greens-Greek Style!
Photo Credit: mayamade.blogspot.com
As a Greek immigrant child in New York City, it was quite common to go
to the park with your parents. Now you may think that this was common for most children in New York City. Well, the difference for us Greek immigrant children was that our parents had a knife and a plastic bag at all times. This was to search and seize the dandelion greens growing in the grass. We all hoped that our American friends did not spot us during this Greek tradition in the New York City parks. At that time, dandelion greens were only seen as a weed, not a green sold at your local super market or farmers’ market.
Ever since my childhood, I love my dandelion greens. They remind me of the Greek spirit in our neighborhood and home. Luckily, we know that they are also really good for you.

Here is how I prepare them:
Boil water with a pinch of salt.
Add greens.
Boil for 10-15 minutes.
Strain.
Add olive oil to your liking and top off with FETA!!

To which Maya replied:
Olga thanks so much for sharing this it brings chills to my body and
joy to my heart. Such traditions are very important to save. All
cultures have them and with care and respect we can acknowledge them
and save them. This is the very essence of the Slow Food movement!
Honoring cultural food traditions is sacred and necessary.
Blessings,
Maya

“Beautiful yellow light that looks like a heart without the curl on it.
Beside a Fiery Orange, Red & Yellow Matched Sculpture.
Purple Clouds Start to Close It Up Like a Big Box Gathering A Rainbow.”

The Wisdom of the Phoenix
“In the multitude of words there certainly are mistakes.
It is difficult to get a good word; it is easy to give a bad one.
And much mischief come from opening the mouth.”

“Plant Your Seeds. Protect Your Gardens. Protect Your Whole Body.”
Today the little one in our lives shared a little insight.
We were creating a flyer. I asked her, “What would you like to tell people?”
She said: “Plant your seeds, Protect your gardens, Protect your whole body.”
She paused for a moment… and asked me, “Did you write all that down?”
I smiled and said, “Yes.”
