We stayed around the house most of the day. Sue make an amazing brunch from the Starlighter’s vegetarian selection from Saturday evening. Amazing how she can add this and that to a fairly bland meal and make it fantastic!
Paul worked in the garden while Sue did the treadmill. The garden is looking pretty good. The strawberries are beginning to have blossoms and the lettuce is getting ready for harvesting. The broccolini is ready for harvesting.
Broccolini is a green vegetable similar to broccoli but with smaller florets and longer, thin stalks. Often misidentified as young broccoli, it is a hybrid of broccoli and kai-lan, both cultivar groups of Brassica oleracea. It was originally developed by the Sakata Seed Company of Yokohama, Japan, in 1993 as “aspabroc”.
The entire vegetable is consumable, including the occasional yellow flower. Common cooking methods include sauteeing, steaming, boiling, and stir frying. Its flavor is sweet, with notes of both broccoli and asparagus,[1] although it is not closely related to the latter. Nutritionally, it is high in vitamin C and contains vitamin A, calcium, folate, and iron.
Sue will make magic happen using our broccolini
Another magnificent Malarkey’s sunset!
We watched “An Affair To Remember”… What a great movie! We then got ready to go out and end up at Malarkey’s for our Monday evening soiree with Greg and Irene.
