Impingement (impact on bone into rotator cuff tendon or bursa) should not occur during normal shoulder function. When it does happen, the rotator cuff tendon becomes inflamed and swollen, a condition called rotator cuff tendonitis. Likewise if the bursa becomes inflamed, shoulder bursitis will develop. Both these conditions can co-exist or be present independently.
Blanching the dandelion greens. One good trick to get rid of the bitterness of the dandelion leaves is to blanch them. Blanching involves cooking them in boiling salted water for a few minutes, may be from 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Now drain the greens and transfer them to ice water.
Add the greens. Cover the pan and cook until tender. Chard and beet greens will take 8 to 10 minutes; kale, mustard, turnip, and collard greens will take 20 to 25 minutes. Drain the greens well in a colander, pressing to remove excess liquid. Toss with 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil, if desired, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
