some old bed
Early this week, I put Neil Young and the Allman Bros in a very heavy rotation around here, their entire discographies in an alternating fashion and yesterday I was one stick of Juicy Fruit and about 5 degrees from a halter-top. Ready for summer! The tomatoes are transplanted! I might put my panties in yr pocket! Then today it is about 60 degrees and pouring rain. Pfft.
There is spinach in our CSA box, though.
This was good. Like a vegan saag ... uh ... whatever it is. The very pretty Santos knows.
Spinach with Chiles & Coconut Milk (again, from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.)
Put 2 tsp peanut oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add 5 chiles; 5 whole, peeled cloves of garlic; a tsp of yr favorite curry powder. Give it 30 seconds before throwing in a pound of whole spinach and a cup (or so) of coconut milk.
Turn the heat way down and leave it, uncovered, for 30-ish minutes, with an occasional stir. When it is done (in the photo it is not; creamed spinach is pretty non-photogenic), the liquid will have mostly evaporated and the spinach will be quite soft. Salt to taste, throw in a bit of butter if that is yr thing.

i'm actually quite hideous. it looks delicious, whatever it is!
