about
This morning, to the music of Cubanismo, I sliced two small onions and a red pepper, and sauteed them in just enough olive oil. (I've been using too much, and have instigated a successful effort to cut back even though it entails more stirring) Then I cut up three small tomatoes and tossed them in too. The tomatoes were Early Girls grown in our Los Angeles rooftop garden, and I have been watering them each morning while gazing, in the cool morning air, upon the gigantic billboards of one gigantically bad movie after another -- although the movie posters have now been replaced by posters showing gigantic headshot photos of radio personalities. Perhaps the shift in advertising focus from movies to radio is responsible for the decline in moviegoing? After sprinkling in some turmeric, spicy japanese pepper, curry powder and ground black pepper, I cut half a block of firm tofu into cubes and mixed it in for another 2 or 3 minutes, before adding a huge handful of baby spinach greens and covering the frying pan so they would wilt down in.
Recipe from
If the Buddhha came to Dinner: how to nourish your body to awaken your spirit [buy at amazon] . As disappointing as this book is from a nourishment perspective, it has given me this extremely serviceable breakfast recipe. (The tomatoes from the rooftop garden were my addition).
