It is interesting that FB slapped a "FACT CHECK" on this. I guess they neglected to fact check the definition of "HYPOTHETICAL". The "FACT CHECK" is simply a link to the WHO site. Anyone willing to help them out, I would welcome anyone willing to devote their time and expertise to debunking any sentence I have written.

I'll have garlic scapes at the Mary Costa Plaza market tomorrow. Also stinging nettle and dandelion greens which you all should be eating to boost your immune systems in these trying times; fresh rosemary and Greek oregano; and oxalis (sour grass), great in salads with a distinct lemony flavor. ..... And gigantic bamboo shoots that really belong on someone's grill rather than ending up on my compost pile, also smaller ones..... along with the usual chile products, jams, marmalades, and kimchi.
