Over easy egg and mix of cubed zucchini, cubed leftover chicken, and TJs giant white beans in tomato sauce, all over a bed of pureed kohlrabi, which tastes like a healthier version of mashed potatoes. Not bad!

It's been so long since I've cooked regularly. We roasted ruby fingerling potatoes from Berkeley Bowl with garlic and rosemary, sauteed fresh asparagus with hen-of-the-woods mushrooms and shallots, and pan-seared wild coho salmon and smothered it in this lovely giant white bean and tomato tapenade-y thing from TJ's.
