Thanks to everyone who expressed sympathy over Robin’s illness. I’m only sorry that it had to coincide with our visit to Reno. I think Robin managed to give his Nonna the plague too; I hope she’s feeling better!<\/p>\n

Our veggie box arrived today: chard, leeks, collard greens, kale, bok choy, carrots, radicchio, potatoes, broccoflower, oranges.<\/p>\n

Tonight I think I’m going to take a chance and adapt a recipe that Sam and I both really like\u2014whole wheat penne with Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach\u2014to use the collard greens instead of spinach. We’ll see how the experiment turns out.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow Robin and I will have bok choy for lunch, braised with garlic and served over brown rice, and for dinner I think a veggie extravaganza of kale (cooked simply with garlic and balsamic vinegar), potatoes (boiled and tossed with butter and dill), and broccoflower (roasted).<\/p>\n

Friday lunch: fish sticks. And dinner: baked polenta with chard<\/a>. I just really love that recipe. It’s my favorite way to have chard. I like to use leeks instead of the onion.<\/p>\n

Saturday lunch will be scrounged from the fridge\/freezer: dinner will be Fancy Sandwiches (assembled from store-bought olive bread, prosciutto, goat cheese, shredded radicchio, and balsamic vinaigrette).<\/p>\n

Sunday we eat brunch out; for dinner I’m thinking chili mac, as an antidote to all the fanciness of the previous night.<\/p>\n

Monday lunch: leftover chili mac! Dinner: steaks and roasted carrots.<\/p>\n

Tuesday lunch: PB&J. Dinner: chicken, broccoli, and ziti casserole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
