Spring Tonic

My Dad, Donald Jacobs, wrote this in a Facebook post on 4/15/2014.



 "As far back as I can remember, when April arrived we brought in dandelion leaves for our annual Spring Tonic, which was dandelion leaves, bacon, eggs on mashed potatoes. Can still taste it. All those memories came back this noon as Anna Ruth prepared the exact same "tonic." Talk about soul food! As I recall you have to have this four or five times before it does much good. While doubting its efficacy, I enjoyed the comfort!"
