A Lonely Lunch

I eat lunch alone almost every day of the week.  I admit, it’s lonely sometimes, but the reward is that I get to make whatever I fancy.  This week marked the beginning of my annual share with a local CSA farm, and the box was brimming with green delights harvested that morning.  So, for lunch today, I got creative with the color green.

This is a typical lunch for me:

Yoga notes, 

a cell phone standing by,

and a plate of wonderful. 

I began by heating some olive oil and some sun-dried tomatoes; the oil from the tomatoes melts into everything giving it such a glorious flavor, so I simply hold back on the oil I add to the pan.  Once hot, I tossed in a chopped onion and a clove of garlic.  After a few minutes, I tossed in a half a bunch of Kale and some beet greens, washed and chopped.  Salt and pepper, please.  Tossing periodically, I moved another small pan onto the neighboring burner and gently toasted some walnuts.  When the greens had cooked down, after about 10 minutes, I added the walnuts then a handful of small white beans I already had cooked (i.e. leftovers).  I gave it a quick turn in the pan, removed from the heat, and then sprinkled it all with some Feta cheese.  Warm, filling, and oh so satisfying.  Eat your greens!  Oh, and I welcome visitors with open arms at lunch time.  

Have a wonderful day!
