Polenta Florentine
Tube of polenta from Stater Bros. (have at Trader Joe's, too, I think)
Organic baby spinach from TJ's
Spray olive oil from TJ's
pasta sauce (I like Classico)
Lightly sautee the spinach. Remove from pan. Slice the polenta - maybe 1/4" thick. Lightly fry. Top with spinach and tomato pasta sauce.
Yum.
And I ate it, and I'm full in my belly ... but my brain is crying out for 3 Musketeers and Oreos and Ben and Jerry's. WTF?!
I mean, it was one thing in Ghana, when what we had to eat was what we had to eat and that was it. But here - there are SO MANY DAMN OPTIONS all the time, and all sorts of very yummy and extremely unnecessary things. Why does everybody not weigh 2,000 pounds?

I resent your implication that Ben and Jerry's is "extremely unnecessary." Would you also go to work with no clothes on? Oh wait, that's right...we like Ralphs brand ice-cream--and only Rocky Road at that. I retract my previous rant in exchange for the following cry for world change: "Stop the madness! The world only needs one flavor of ice cream!"
Polenta Florentine Delicioso! I want some...!!!! =)
Ha ha...I made super chocolate chocolate nut cookies the other day...but I think they are extremely TOO chocolatey, because I didn't chop the baker's squares into small enough chunks, hee hee...
What? You don't want a muffin??? Heh heh heh...
