'Cause Nothing Says Summer Like Collard Greens

Can anyone 'splain to me why we are getting collard greens in our CSA box? I thought they were a cold-weather vegetable. These leaves are GIGANTIC! Of course I thought to take a pic of them after I cut them up.

Anyway right now they are simmering in the slow cooker thanks to several internet recipes I cobbled together. Lots of slow-cooker collard recipes, but all called for salt pork or ham hocks -- and I'm not going out for that when I've got perfectly good bacon at home. It should be fine.

I just hope the heat and humidity back off a little by nightfall so I'm in the mood to eat them!
