They arrived and thinking the worst broke down the door.
What they found was a pot of collard greens cooking on the stove. The elderly lady walked in from church while they were there.
( If you've never smelled collards cooking , you have not missed a thing. They taste great, similar to very mild turnip greens but it's best to cook them outside.)
Reminds me of the first time I cooked collars greens. My husband came home from work and accused me of not cleaning the cats litter box. I informed him that wasn't the litter box it was his dinner.
The stuff is good for you, though!
