My Monday morning meeting calendar is packed, leaving me pondering whether i get to the office at 8:15 or stay here.

I'm not feeling entirely well emotionally. Yesterday's morning was spent with friends and then Meeting and then the little "craft show." It was a stretch to share myself, and i didn't feel able to connect with people in the context. It was good to do, but i felt rattled. I haven't been able to really settle.

I did cook the greens and roots. I chopped the stems in half inch bits, sautéed them in butter, and then simmered in white wine. I then used an immersion blender on them -- and proved to myself why the stems are really not suitable for eating as the stringy bits kept getting caught up and i kept clearing them out. I think i managed to get most of the stringy bits out of the broth. We'll call that lesson learned. The lentils and greens turned out well, and i roasted an onion, the deep red beets, and the bright purple and white radishes with a dressing of some packaged white balsamic vinaigrette.
