Winter Blues for Greens
Oh, winter. So cruel to us in the midwest! And then you tease us with tantalizing glimpses of the wonders to come: a warm, melty day here; a burst of blindingly bright sun there. It’s enough to drive us mad with desire for spring.
In the meantime, I’ve got two recommendations if you’re stuck in the same boat as I am: one, give Barbara’s recipe for Chicken with Baby Gai Lan + Bok Choy a try (it’s FANTASTIC), and two, check out my new article on Chef’s Blade. 
You knew I was going to say that last part, didn’t you?
As an addendum to that last part, incidentally, I did get to ride to my restaurant job yesterday! It was so exciting. Today it’s pouring out, but yesterday…ah, yesterday was sunny, mid-60s bliss. A bit wet, but the wet is fine as long as I can see, and also as long as it isn’t going to dip back below freezing and turn into ice on the way home. I haven’t got studded tires, and I’m not prepared sufficiently to take two wheels over ice and snow. Need to train in Minnesota for that, I understand.
So spring is definitely coming, even if it is a bit slow.
