Vegetable recipe

When eating a low carbohydrate diet, it can be hard to get enough vegetables. Salad greens are low in carbohydrate, and so are cooking greens (turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, kale, etc.). Onions are good, bell peppers are good, broccoli and brussels sprouts are good.

But if you're like me, you like to have stuff around you can quickly take to work. It's hard ("impossible", in fact) to roast brussels sprouts in a microwave. And cooked greens can be saved for a day or two (after about three days, I notice that they go right through me - they don't make me feel *sick* but they make the, uh, full trip a bit too quick for my comfort - in both senses of the word).

So, I look for healthy low carbohydrate recipes. Like many a bachelor, I don't tend to actually have recipes - I tend to have techniques.

So:

Lawn update

Okay, last year, someone - wolfette? - suggested that a bit of lawn food might eliminate moss better than "moss killer". I was skeptical... but what the heck? Well, whoever-it-was was *right*.

Winter time, I spread some fall/winter lawn food around. I think I used a light dose, but how would I know? But I figured, the lawn hadn't been fed in at least two years, so, why not?

Yesterday, I hired someone to mow my lawn. A push mower just wouldn't get through it; it was just too tall, and too dense! They filled my (large!) compost bin, and two more just like it, with grass clippings.

Near as I can tell, drainage has *vastly* improved (it's almost like something is just sucking the water out of the ground...), leaving less puddly bits for moss to grow in.

On the downside, I'm going to have some heavy work ahead of me, digging grass out of my side beds.
