I'm sending warm thoughts too. And as for these broccoli leaves, they're just one more reason to be so very anxious for spring to come to the midwest! I can't wait to try them. Last week I made beets for the first time ever, using your feta recipe, and they were so delicious! As soon as I can get my hands on some, kohlrabi is next, and now I'm mining the archives for something I haven't tried yet to put on the menu for this week.

One year in college I lost my grandmother, my good friend, my (then future) father in law, and my (then future) grandmotherinlaw. It was a very bad year, but with strength it can be handled. Remembering the people lost is key. Trying to forget makes it worse.<br /><br />Now on to the food...I had no idea broccoli greens were edible! I'm going to keep an eye out when we visit farms.Jen @ Dietplaidhttp://dietplaid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-67663314105016709682011-01-28T19:04:22.734-08:002011-01-28T19:04:22.734-08:00Rebecca, your blog is a daily must-read for me.

It is wonderful that Jen has a friend like Rachel who will board a plane to the other side of the world to be there for her.<br /><br />It is funny where our food inspiration comes from sometimes.Sydneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-37428624291139365212011-01-27T06:50:27.044-08:002011-01-27T06:50:27.044-08:00Oh god, why am I crying alone in my office at 9am?...Oh god, why am I crying alone in my office at 9am?! Thank you for sharing. That was an incredibly touching story and my thoughts are with Jen as well. It makes me want to give David (he works one floor below my lab) a hug so he can give Rachel a hug so she can pass it off to Jen. But that would be weird because he and I don't know each other. <br /><br />On a less awkward note...I never cease to be amazed by your beautiful garden! I'm also from San Diego and my mom's been trying to start up her own vegetable garden. Don't tell her this, but it looks like she still has a looong way to go!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-82786881972901333722011-01-27T01:32:31.923-08:002011-01-27T01:32:31.923-08:00I so enjoy these Eat Well posts.

Who knew vegetables could be so interesting and look so appetising?<br />I tend not to have so much luck growing brassicas, but I have wondered about trying broccoli from time to time. Maybe some time ...<br /><br />I'll be sending warm thoughts to Jen too. What an awful time to go through.sarah doowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631371269303716696noreply@blogger.com
