When life gives you dandelions …
Make dandelion wine!
I did not Google this to see if this has been said before … but when my ‘best friend’ said no amount of weed killer is going to get rid of the dandelions in God’s 3 green acres we are tending … I remembered a story I wrote for the Tribune-Star about a woman that turned her dandelions into food and WINE! So I’ve stopped whining and am now looking up the recipe! Of course, you have to pop their beautiful little yellow heads off before they go to seed. Another delightful thought!

Very cool idea. I remember back in the early 50’s a black lady would often stop by our house asking if she could pick the dandelion plants as she cooked them for the greens for meals..
Oh, yeah. That’s good, too. I like greens. This lady popped off the blooms and fried them in a little oil in the skillet. Was yummy.
