This is another view of that awesome full moon last weekend. It was hard to take a decent picture with my little camera....but this one looks a bit like Saturn.
I have been cooking up those greens. Usually it's by heating up a little olive oil, or even a flavored olive oil, in the bottom of my 12" skillet. I might then add some onion and/or pepper, chopped. I then add the greens, usually broccoli rabe, chopped. I let it sit until it's wilted. Then I add a can of rinsed and drained beans.....pink, black, black-eyed peas....whatever. Once I added a splash of balsamic vinegar and called it a "salad." I brought it to work for lunch, and it was great.
Today I took my leftover broccoli rabe & bean concoction, microwaved it with some tomato sauce, and used it to top a single serve portion of pasta. A bit of parmesan on top and it was a pretty good meal. It inspired me to be thankful for lots of things.....healthy food, good friends, books....all that kind of stuff.
Yeah, it's Lent all right. I get all introspective and tap into feelings of gratitude.
(I like Lent!)
