Just a little (link) love: eat your veggies, REALLY, edition
April 3, 2015
I was all misleading last time I did an Eat Your Veggies edition so I’m really going to share some veggie recipes this time 🙂
CAREER + MONEY THINGS
Patreon is an interesting new business model (I love Kylee’s products so if you want to support her: have at it!)
FUN THINGS
Dog earns a home after 430 miles (and quarantine)
Alan Tudyk is back, with ConMan
I would like this in a weekender size but I wouldn’t mind this one either. Or this, that would be good too.
This is silly: men describing menstrual pain
INTERESTING THINGS
I really need people to pay attention to the racism that exists today because when cops come under fire for supporting equality, there’s something wrong.

VEGGIES!
I am terrible at vegetable side dishes, so I always look for the easiest way out possible. Proportions for my veggie recipes are pretty flexible. I don’t tend to measure much, and I skimp on oils and butters to just the minimum necessary to get the job done.
Sugar snap peas
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 pinch sea salt to taste
1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
*optional: 1 teaspoon chili oil
Heat the sesame oil (and chili oil if desired) over medium-high heat. Toss the snap peas until they turn bright green and start to become tender, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper as they cook. Sprinkle peas with sesame seeds, and toss before serving.
Other variations: saute bacon (cut strips to approximately 2 inch pieces) first and toss the snap peas in the pan with the nearly cooked bacon. Because everything is better with bacon. Unless you don’t like bacon….
Green Beans
1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut to 1.5 inches
butter
minced garlic
Blanch green beans in boiling water, about 3-4 minutes, until they’re bright green. Toss in a small pat of butter, let it melt and coat all the green beans. Mix in as much minced garlic as you like.
The female angel investor thing is putting my brain in a weird state of dissonance since, at least during the whole Ellen Pao trial, I remember seeing statistics about the decline of women VCs.
In any case, VEGGIES!
That’s a good point – I hadn’t had the energy to read the verdict from the Ellen Pao trial as I suspected I’d just be annoyed.
I’m also terrible when it comes to vegetables. 🙁 I should try this recipe.
