Finally got the whole group together. We drove out to Dad's place and had lunch with him. For some reason he wanted to eat poke. For the un-initiated, poke is a kind of weed that you eat like turnip greens or kale. They have a milder flavor than collards. Hopefully they aren't poisonous or anything like that. It was a pleasant enough outing--always enjoy spending time with the young-uns. Having adult children is an interesting experience. We have a good relationship. At least I think so. Having a conversation with my dad and with my kids at the same time is--interesting. So what else is going on...I'm reading "The Eden Express" by Mark Vonnegut. It's a book I've been wanting to read for a couple of decades now. Finally got around to it. I'm trying to read more now...before my brain completely turns to mush.

Yes, adult children are very ummm, interesting. I hadn't heard of poke in a long time. Do you remember the song poke salad annie? It was making fun I think of the back hills people, but yeah, poke is perfectly ok to eat, like asparagus growing on the sides of a river bank - most people have no clue where their food actually comes from, except that they buy it in the grocery store or grow it in their garden. Not that I know where all my food actually comes from either, but I do pay attention when I hear people talk about the old days when they had to go gather their own ;).
