January 10, 2005Fractal broccoli and mirrors...
This is what happens when I stay up waaaaay too late on a Sunday night before I have to go to work the next day. I have like zero energy left at the end of my evening and try to sit down and read through stuff I've sent home to myself in my dayjob blur and nothing makes sense.
So, I come up with nil to post here or anywhere else tonite.
Sorry, nada.
So, when all else fails, grab the digital camera.
Part of the fun of owning one and everyone always sez I need to use it more often than I do and they're right. Someday I may even try to mess with an actual tripod and get into it a little more seriously but for now, I occasionally enjoy hamming around with it and taking random shots.
Check this out, this is what I made for dinner earlier this evening:
It's called Romanesque broccoli and until tonite I had never known there was such a glamorous vegetable. And what could be more fun than to eat a bunch of little nummy green fractals, eh?
Sort of a natural hybrid of broccoli and cauliflower but I have not a clue as to the process of Nature that took hold and created it. I was told by the nice folks at the Alameda Natural Grocery where I buy all of my organics lately that this was yet just another cool example of natural selection from within the vegetable world. I may have to investigate further as that explanation just doesn't quite satisfy my curiousity enough, but maaaaaan was this a delicious choice of veggie. I highly recommend trying some if you can get it or ask your local shops to find it for you. Steam for about 4-5 minutes, no longer-- it's best while still crisp. Has a sort of nutty flavor and a little sprinkle of fresh lemon juice brings it out even more.
Can you believe they still make Cannabis incense?!
Don't get too excited, it smells nothing like the real thing (but then again, did it ever?)
Look how beautiful Mathylda is now!
She's grown into a breathtaking little lovely, that one. She still loves this spot just outside my kitchen window. I think I'm turning into the weird "Spider Lady" down the block.
I look tired, you say?
Well, yeah. I am.
But that didn't stop me from saying hello now did it?
