Like I said<\/a>, I got a huge bunch of spinach in my last CSA box, and mushrooms, that Toni doesn’t like, and more asparagus.<\/p>\n

So I decided to make creamed spinach. But I just did it really simply, almost Deborah Madison Vegetable Literacy<\/a> method. No roux, or onions, or anything like that. She says to saut\u00e9 the spinach in butter and then add up to 1\/4 cup cream for a pound and a half of spinach which is how much I had. But I\u00a0 wilted the spinach first – washed it, then put it in a hot pan until it collapsed, then drained it. Then I squeezed out as much water as I could, put it back in the pan with butter, and added the cream. It was really good – just creamy enough. And roasted potatoes, with a 1\/2 lb. of the asparagus tossed in at the end. And saut\u00e9ed mushrooms – more butter, white pepper, and garlic. And steak – Fountain Prairie wasn’t at the downtown market this morning, but when I biked out to the westside co-op, Knoche’s sign said T-Bone on special, $10.99. So I stopped on the way back, and got one. Watched a YouTube <\/a>on how to cook a tender and juicy T-Bone in the oven.<\/p>\n

Mark and Ethan and I made plates and ate out on the deck.<\/p>\n

All that’s left is a small container with the last few slices of mushrooms and hunks of potato & asparagus. Mark even gnawed the last of the meat off the bone.<\/p>\n

I was going to write about how yesterday – Friday – was too busy, and work spilled over into the weekend. It’s true that I worked a couple hours Saturday, and will also have to Sunday. But Monday’s slides are ready and I’m basically ready for Monday. Wednesday’s slides are NOT ready – but that’s miles away, and the slides set is about half done. The only reason I feel bad is that I told my co-presenters I’d send them my slides the weekend before. Oh, well, it’ll be fine even if I don’t. They’re both probably doing theirs last minute, too.<\/p>\n

Writing about dinner was more fun.<\/p>\n

\"Steak<\/a>

Steak dinner<\/p><\/div>\n

Tomorrow morning I think I’ll make rhubarb coffee cake to use up some of that extra rhubarb that came in the box, before I go to volunteer at Ride the Drive. Though the weather is saying thunderstorms. Maybe I can just not show up – if it’s rainy, no one will come to ride, anyhow, so they won’t need volunteers. Hmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
