More food, courtesy the garden

[lakmiseiru]

Because I am a foodie and I love my garden, I will inflict you with additional food delights. SJ and I made this one last night from the leftover arugula (I tore the plants out of the garden in preparation for another planting, since they were no longer productive) and a few beet leaves carefully trimmed from our beets.

That salad sounds fantastic.

I have recently discovered that I can toss almost anything into a salad and have it work out. Particularly exceptional candidates are: cranberry goat cheese, soy boy smoked tofu, and sheep's milk cheese. Delicious.

So true! Goat cheese is another favorite of mine. Really, I finally grew to love salads when I realized that it really was okay to just leave lettuce out of the equation and replace it with arugula, spinach, mache, etc. Now I crave green leafies and get sad when I don't get them!

What's your opinion of the TV show (Dresden Files)?

[lakmiseiru]

It's meh; Dresden feels like more of a jerk in the show, and Murphy is a downright bitch when before she was a strong, sometimes angry woman. The plots are neat, though, and I like the way they do the sets; it's mostly the characters that bother me.

Oh, and Dresden is the spitting image of my fellow second-year J, who's from Chicago...

I felt like they were setting things up for character development. Dresden and Murphy did become more likable over the course of the books but were less so at the beginning. (Dresden especially acts like a jerk from time to time in the books just to remind the reader that he isn't always nice. Murphy changed more thoroughly, or at least the reader got to see past the shell more.) I think that if they had had a second season, the characters would have changed.
