brassica blasts.

you guys like leafy greens?
good.
so do i.
sunday night,
we got ourselves into some serious greenery,
and in NO way do i mean to imply that we were blazing any nugs.
ew.
rather,
we were garnering nutrients in gluttonous quantities.
we don't need the munchies to munch up too much.
that's the right amount, no matter the mindset.
check the teleport:

YUM4TUM, y'bums.
i wish i was more interesting, and had more to offer than talking about food,
but,
mostly, and marginally more accurately,
i wish we were talking in person about food.
instead,
this will just have to do,
now,
what is all that vegetable hottness?
i'm SO glad you asked-
*thai-style brown rice, with lime, cilantro, coconut, and scallion!
seriously,
flaked coconut, thai broth,garlic, serrano pepper, and green citrus magic,
with the leafy treats tossed in at the end of the cooking cycle.
expert!
*cucumbers and pea tendril, dressed in garlic-cilantro-lime crema?
mmmmmmm.
i love a tasty drizzlem duders.
i actually cannot help myself but to give up a squirt whenever it's there.
i mean,
opportunity isn't shy, and fortune favors the bold,
so i'm 'bout to boldly blop that stuff whenever i can.
believe it.
*dry-fried tiny tofu cubes, with sweet and hot pepper rings,
copious fresh basil leaves, and raw red onion sprankles!
crawnchy onions, spicy peppers, sweet kisses of red pep and basil,
plus that FIRM tofu truth for your face.
*butt-blowing big brass band brassica bombs brought the thunder, bro!!!
broccolini, brussels sprouts,bok choi, red cabbage (added at the last minute)
giant garlic slices, carrots, celery, onion, and soy splashin' sauce,
steamed up and stir-fried to a tender but snappy texture.
damn.
coconut oil-fried cashew sprankles completed our big picture,
... i'll tell you another 'nother thing-
we eat really effing well up in here.
i know you know it,
but, on the really real, though-
the brightest spot in my day is mealtime.
i don't live to eat,
but i'm still pretty glad i can make food such a monumental part of my life.
there's bigger things afoot,
but there's not much better than a burly batch of nourishment-
especially when it's shared with the best of the bunch.
the cucch, ampy d, and crabtree got involved,
and made for a magical weekend of family togetherness.
i loved it;
they probably did, too, (i hope)
and we stuffed ourselves sillyon some of the most high-falutin' flavor-flav
that i could imagine on short notice.
it's all really happening,
and that's about all there really needs to be;
never quiet, never soft.....
