so my new "new" challenge to myself for 2012 is three fold: 1) do more of the things that i enjoy/love to do 2) do fewer of the things i think i "should" do 3) do everything i need to do (which i'm still working on figuring out that category). three things in the enjoy/love category are writing, blogs, and pictures so here goes another shot!
so for the randomness of this title: some of our friends gave us a beautiful bunch of kale around new years. i love dark leafy greens and when we used to get a CSA box every week i ate many more of them, i should either start getting that box or buy them more myself! i digress. i wanted to find a new recipe and cooking light had the perfect one (especially because this was the ONE week of winter we had here in new orleans) it came from a collection of winter vegetable recipes.
it wasn't collards but somehow this dark leafy green represented a sign of a new year, new luck (how's that for cheesy...which the dish did have in it and made it even better!) but seriously, it was the first, fresh cooked meal we made of 2012 and the first after many long weeks of finals, traveling, and holiday chaos. it was much needed!!

here's to 2012 (even at the end of january), to more new things, less obligated things, and more needed things
