Today is my grown-up day. I only have to go pick up my daughter at 4 PM. That's almost a full work-day, I have not had one of those in a long time. We had an overnight-guest though who stayed until noon: my neighbor's daughter whose little brother was born this morning. She seemed pretty nonplussed actually.

I have been absorbed in my work and the weather has been bland. I don't feel I have much to report. Yesterday I made a very successful "Spinach" pie. Did you know that a traditional Greek Greens Pie calls for seven different types of greens? There has to be just the right balance of sweet, bitter, sour and aromatic. I came close. I had seven different kinds: spinach, dandelion, collards, wild arugula, and wild broccoli rabe, with plenty of dill and some fennel greens. The "wild" greens are not really gathered from the wild, unfortunately, but they are overall smaller and have a more complex flavor. They have started to show up at the Green Market. I will get more this weekend. So healthy and yummy. The only downside is that it takes forever to wash these heaps of greens.  1:32:33 PM
