Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
You know you’re in trouble when . . .
you’ve blogged all your recipes.
Tonight, I made Chicken Kiev, focaccia, steamed broccoli, and creme brulee. I have no idea what to blog about, since my usual recourse (when stumped) is to post a recipe.
Unless . . .
Steamed Broccoli
Rinse broccoli and trim off the big fat stalk. Trim it down to individual florettes. Place in the top of your steamer.
Put steamer over boiling water, cover, and steam for five minutes.
Place thin slices of butter over the broccoli, add salt and pepper, toss, and serve.

How lame is that?
I’ll make it up to you. I’m going live, so if you’re around in the next hour or two, come ’round and say hi. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have more for you than goose eggs.
D.
Sorry we missed you. We were out visiting on one of our relatively rare social visits.
Well poo. I guess you’ve already turned in for the night.
I like my wee trees naked; no butter, no salt, no pepper. Mix them with dry roasted red pepper and I’m in veggie heaven.
You could do a Heritage post like I did…let’s see what famous folks you look like!
Yeah, sorry I missed you guys. Next Saturday. Or tonight, if I’m able.
Lyvvie, I predict: Wally Shawn, Woody Allan, and a host of other little bald dudes.
Hmm. Fifteen minutes later and their software is STILL thinking about who I look like. Guess I don’t look like anyone!
(Although I had thought, maybe, perhaps . . . Clark Gable?)
Do you peel the broccoli stalks and eat that too? If not, you should try it. The stalks have a crisp, sweet flavor with a slight spicyness to them. It’s the best part of the plant for me.
I’ve never tried that, Anduin. Sounds great 🙂
