Adult Palates ROCK!
or
Larkin's This-Does-Not-Contain-Alcohol Spinach


Heat wok or frying pan. Throw a small glob of minced bottled garlic in there with a bit of Pam or (if you aren't afraid of lipids) olive oil. Sizzle a moment. Throw in the spinach. All of it. No it's not too much. BEHOLD the magic of wilting! See how the leaves shrink to a mere fraction of their original bulk. Fascinating. Stir it up. Add a sqeeze or three of lemon/lime, a pinch of pepper, salt to taste. Stir it again. When the leaves are glossy, small, and dark green, take them off the heat. Serve.

I like 'em alone or as a main course over whole wheat pasta or brown rice. Try stuffing them in a tortilla or pita with chunks of feta cheese. Or eat them off your lover's sternum (let them cool first!). Whatever. It's all good. Trust me.



(DISCLAIMER: There name of the dish does not imply that its converse - "Larkin's This-Contains-Alcohol Spinach" - exists. I just thought that it would be a good title. There is no Alcohol anywhere. Do you hear me? NONE! It's a JOKE.)

(Believe me, I looked.)
