Cookin Ramps
April 2 2020
Doctors across
the planet are looking for a way to protect humans from the
Corona Beer virus. No vaccine is available. Word is leaking
out, the bugs can just jump from human to human. Deep in the
outback, the Mel Gibson Look Alike thinks he has found the
solution.
For years, each Spring, Mountain people put together a Spring tonic in the form of wild ramps mixed with fried taters, eggs, cheeses and more.
Anyone that has been around ramp digging, ramp cleaning, ramp frying and consumption, those folks know, no one will come around for several days due to the olfactory sensation, IE: stink.
He thinks such stink will keep the Corona bug at bay.
For the sake of science and saving the world, here's a recipe for delicious tasting virus bug reducer, fried ramps

Early April
is prime ramp digging time. Throughout the county, up every
other hollow, patches of the iris family, ramps, can be found.
Dig a Go Mart shopping bag full and be sure to include the
roots with your joyful bundle.
Take em home, wash off the dirt and leaves then cut off the drying out roots. What's left is a bulb bottom and beautiful green leaves. Set those aside for now

Plop in a big
skille,t four or five cleaned and cut up taters along with
some onions, mushrooms , a big gob of butter, pepper and even
a few sprinkles of Ms Dash. Let all that fry down. A lid on
the skillet speeds up the process.
Then a secret ingredient.
add some well browned bacon or honey ham. Put the lid back on
and let it simmer all the juices together. Here comes the bug
killer.
Cut up those
cleaned ramps and drop em into the skillet. With the lid in
place let the precious ramps stew down a bit.
Then, add a
couple fresh eggs and stir them into the concoction, Those eggs
sop up some the grease and hold everything together. Add the
lid again unto the ramps tender up and turn that greasy dark
green color.
Finally, add
some zest and further soak up the grease and butter with a
couple kinds of cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese adds some
real lip smacking pleasure to the skillet virus killer. Let
all that melt together for a few more minutes. You're done!
There it is
readers, mountain pleasure and virus killer all on one plate.
Eat a big load of the ramps. When you think you are done, eat
those last few remnants left in the skillet. Don't waste
even a tiny morsel. Take a nap as desert.
What those old timers were talking about, your Spring clean out, is true. The next day, your morning constitution has a green color and everything in the GI tract roars out. That's what does in the Corona bug. A few wipes and quickly flush away those tiny varmints. Timing is most important. You don't want any of those bugs to escape the bowl. Poof! the Coronas are gone and you're ready for Summer. Well sort of...

There is the big time mess all around the
stove and the burnt skillet. There's one other thing. The
wifey. Cooking ramps stink up the whole house. Opening windows
does little good. For at least 2 days, the wifey has that
madder than H look on her face. There is a certain "quiet"
time around Tallhouse. It gets worser if you don't clean up
the kitchen with emphasis on her good skillet.
That's it readers. A sure cure for what ails you including the doom of the Corona Virus.
