After an extended period of no greens to speak of
(5 or 6 Brussels sprouts for Christmas dinner were
the total for about a week), I'm actually beginning
to pine for a plate of spinach or something.

 RH> Sure does! It would be a pretty boring world if we were all the same.

If we were all the same we wouldn't know the difference!
I guess we'd probably all be omnivores.
 
 RH> I read a cook book sort of tasting things in my head.
 ML> Yeah, isn't it the greatest thing? Annie and Billy got me

To be taken to DC, like fat chance I'll be able to use
them there, though the reading is pleasurable. They're
heavy, too, but not really huge.
