SCREAMING GREENIE

Steps:

• Make a simple syrup: Over medium burner, add the sugar to 1 cup of water and heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Cool. (Unused syrup can be refrigerated for 2 weeks.)
• In a blender, mix 1 3/4 ounces of the syrup with the vodka, absinthe, lemon juice, ice and 8 basil leaves until smooth. Pour into tall glass. Garnish with remaining basil leaf and lemon wheel.

PATTI'S SCREAMIN' MEAN GREENS

Steps:

• Fill your kitchen sink with water and wash the greens well. As you lift the greens from the sink, any grit will fall to the bottom. Repeat if necessary.
• Tear the greens into large pieces, and remove and discard tough stems. Place greens in a large bowl - do NOT drain in a colander.
• In a large pot, combine the onions, 2 cups water, oil, and jalapenos (if using). Bring to the boil over high heat.
• Gradually stir in the greens, letting one batch wilt before you add the next. Bury the turkey wing in the greens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the greens are tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the turkey wing, discard the skin and bones. Chop the turkey meat and return to the pot.
• Use a slotted spoon to transfer the greens to a serving dish. Serve hot.
