I love collard greens. Yes I do. I could sing their praises all day. The are a fabulously cost-efficient, large, hardy green that adapts well to many dishes. This particular bunch I picked up from the PCC was HUGE. My largest leaf had a span of nearly 12" across, not to mention the thing was about 15" long! You know how much these marvelous greens set me back? $1.99. You read correct, >2. Sometimes you can even get these puppies for less (like in the C.D. where they are $0.99 a bunch!). Tonight I am combining these with some carrots sauteed in butter and garlic, salt and pepper and finally squeezing them with lemon juice before I serve them. Bon Apetit! Monday Monday Monday. My weekend ended far too quickly. That's what I get for spending most of Saturday sleeping! I suck. The only thing of note I did was grocery shop, retrieve my forgotten wallet, and laundry. Don't you all envy my life?
So much for getting everything I wanted done today. I woke up, on my couch at about 5:30 AM. Sweating, nauseous, head spinning. Yes I was at the bar last night, but this was different! I feel like garbage. Did someone give me germy non-goodness? Ugh. Sleeping until 1:30 helped a little, but not much.Have you ever sorted through your own things and been amazed at the amount of crap you have managed to amass since the last time you did so? I do it ALL THE TIME. I love to go through clothes and get rid of stuff, but everything I have is still wearable and usable. Paring down is just not part of my skill set I guess.

To quote one of my least favorite TV Chefs, YUM-O. PS. My sister is buying a car today. Woo for her!
First day blogging again! Today is Thursday, usually my favorite day of the week. Today not so much. I learned sad things and missed out on a delightful happy hour. No $5 pitchers of Rainier for me! Please please please will the beer fairy stop by my house and just unload a truck to go along with my pizza. Instead of happy hour, though, I did get to stop by Trophy Cupcakes and pick up a surprise for my "work mom". See the handsome man I made eyes at on the bus? What a hottie. Now I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my pizza, boo, and to watch last night's Top Chef episode!
This weekend promises wonderful weather and lots of errands. Am I excited? You betcha!
