Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.


5 pounds poke leaves, stems removed, leaves washed and rinsed
1/2 pound pork fatback, baked in oven until crisp
3 large bunches green onions, roughly chopped
Bring the leaves to a boil in a large pot, allow to cook for about 15 minutes.
Drain the water from the pot and refill the pot with fresh water. Bring the pot to a boil again and allow to cook for about 15 minutes or until the leaves turn an olive green color.
Drain the leaves and rinse with cold water. Squeeze the water from the leaves, as one would do with spinach; return leaves to pot.
Pour the grease from the fatback onto the leaves and add the onions. Cover and allow to cook until the onions are very tender, then serve.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
