"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the same
time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel
called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.
This morning we bought fresh spinach from a local farm market. We’ve been shopping there for several years, and spinach is usually the first offering of the season.
So tomorrow we will use some fresh spinach in our daily tossed salad, and with the rest we’ll cook the traditional “spanakorizo” or ΣΠΑΝΑΚΟΡΙΖΟ, which is simply spinach, rice, chopped onion, extra virgin olive oil, water, and salt and ground black pepper to taste. (Frank’s innovation is to add hot red pepper instead of the traditional ground black pepper to taste!)
