harsh footnote pasta

[opabinia]

Boil up some whole-wheat, high-protein pasta. While that's going, warm up the corresponding volume of red pasta sauce. Stir three rounded tablespoons of nutritional yeast flakes(1) into the warm sauce. Now wilt some arugula.(2) The final step in the preparation of this dish is to mix everything together. (The arugula is xenophobic, but it can be teased apart with patience.) Salt and pepper to taste.


1. This is, like, pure protein. Tastes a little like salty cheese, but not quite. You won't like it as much as parmesan, but how much do you like feeling fat?

2. Shit, do I have to show you everything? Press a few handfuls of it into a small bowl with 1/4c water, cover, and microwave for two minutes on HIGH.

Don't worry! I'll eat it all before you get home.

ever had nutritional yeast on popcorn? good stuff.

I keep meaning to try it. Gotta score some non-salted non-buttered organic free-range equal-exchange grass-fed popcorn.

That's true. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels.

-ducks-

I had my first arugula of the season last night, along with various heirloom lettuces, a tiny bit of garden cress, a few baby spinach leaves, and a couple of even smaller baby endive leaves.
In a couple of weeks all these plants will be so large that I'll be cringing at the thought of trying to keep up with eating them.

Hm. I keep forgetting to plant my sunflower seeds.

Oh crap, I had forgotten about that story! That was kind of an awesome line, if I do say so myself.

Massive herb-gardenage is going on here. After years of spurning my attentions, suddenly Achillea millefolium is trying to take over. I guess it just wanted to be ignored.
