i thought the butter trick was only with buttercups??

My dad used to make dandelion wine when I was little...and still eats dandelion greens in spring sometimes...he is not a health nut just likes to do some of these old folky things his father did before him...

peg (who picks nettles and dandelions in spring to eat for healing purposes...but tries to avoid the ones by the roadside...too much auto exhaust...and who has dandelions in her yard she wishes she could use but the damn landlord insists on letting the lawn monkeys--idiot yahoos with South Boston accents who cut my grass--use pesticides and herbicides on my lawn, even after I tried to tell him how poisonous it is...)
