collards

I just made some baller collard greens. 


This picture does not do them justice. 

Ingredients: 
1 tbspn olive oil
1 tbspn butter
onion
garlic
1 lb collards
1 can of roasted chopped tomatoes
red pepper flakes
cumin
salt and pepper
couple dashes of soy sauce
4 cups of water

I'm not much for measuring things, but I am very much for tasting as you go. I let the greens cook covered for about an hour and they were deliciously tender. Served over a some red beans and rice (canned) in a bowl made for a wonderful (lateish) dinner!

bathing in sunshine.

Today was wonderful. 


I overcame some fears and climbed a fire tower.


Had fun with someone I love. 


And appreciated the beauty around me.
