I’m glad he got there even if wasn’t his actual birthday.
I cut up the beet greens and stems, cook them in a little oil, and toss them in a salad with a little lemon juice. Sometimes I put the beet roots in the salad, too.
That sounds yummy! I think I might like something like that, and I’ll buy the ingredients and by the time I get home, the desire for the stuff is gone. I don’t know if its because I’m too tired to cook or if it’s one of those “eyes are bigger than stomach” kind of things.
Maybe it’s because I have no one to cook for, so the fun of meal planning has gone out the window. That’s sad, too, because I really am a good cook. About the only time I actually cook the stuff I buy like that is when I want to make lasagna. I can freeze that, so it’s not like I have to hurry and eat it all before it goes bad.
