January 20--of vegetables and other things

[zyzyly]

I had lunch with my friend Franklin. He taught me a little about chinese cooking, and showed me how to make a delicious mustard green and ginger soup. The secret, he says, is to not overcook the greens.

He was a plant biologist. Now he is a franciscan.

I tried my hand at it this evening. I made stir-fry chicken with red chard and mushrooms. I tossed in a few of those almonds I have lying around too. It was good, but I have some ideas on how to improve it for the next time.

It's like a whole new world was opened up to me today.

Can't wait to hear more. :)

(And chard is one of my favorite foods.)

That looks delicious. I love to stir-fry. My trainer told me a small handful of nuts or legumes give you your daily allotment of various essential fatty oils. It works for me! I putting them in stir-fry too.
