Didn't Work

Wow, was I ever shocked. I was innocently reaching for cilantro in the produce aisle and there it was, in a grocery store! How could this be? Watercress! In Harmons! 

I couldn't grab it quick enough. I couldn't wait for lunch to make a sandwich of bread, butter, and watercress. Yummmm! But, not the same as the crisp, fresh greens from the ice cold stream in Tetonia.




Grandma Beard knew the exact place and exact time of year to find supreme watercress. I considered it a delicacy, and now I know it is.

Good try, Harmons, but a distant second to the "real thing". 

I needed to know more about this yummy green. To my amazement, watercress is said to have many medicinal, as well as nutritional values. According to Google, among the long list of benefits is that it treats baldness.


Maybe the watercress season is too short in Teton Basin.
