Okay...they *taste* like french fries!<BR/><BR/>By the way, our all-time favorite of veggies done in the oven is a mixed-up conglomeration of asparagus and sliced fennel (AKA anise), same olive oil treatment.

They simply cut it in to thin slices along with zuchini, mushrooms and peppers, toss it with some olive oil and black pepper and throw it on the grill (or bake it in the oven). They swear by it.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like you and your wife really work together as a team and that's a very nice thing to hear about these days!<BR/><BR/>Happy weekend!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01569351612820181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-85568847129524630142007-08-31T00:27:00.000-06:002007-08-31T00:27:00.000-06:00your writing is so easy to read...with a gentle fl...your writing is so easy to read...with a gentle flow that makes me want to sway along with the words!<BR/>thank you for visiting my sight...and for leaving some thoughts behind.jessamynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11372786662654074732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-50494042661773008572007-08-30T23:34:00.000-06:002007-08-30T23:34:00.000-06:00great post Rick...and no, i don't have a recipe fo...great post Rick...and no, i don't have a recipe for squash tops...but squash flowers, yes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-76052119867170745382007-08-30T23:28:00.000-06:002007-08-30T23:28:00.000-06:00Aaah, very healthy food, a very healthy relationsh...Aaah, very healthy food, a very healthy relationship!!

We cannot conjure it, but holding the image of it magically calls that higher Self to the fore. <BR/><BR/>When that higher Self is on vacation for a few days, we are both able to provide the other the space to be, well, somewhat childish or disagreeable. At the same time, we both call each other on it when the toes get stomped on.<BR/><BR/>And, we know that "forever" means right now...and now...and now. <BR/><BR/>My favorite way of thinking about marriage is one I heard so long ago I cannot be a good little blogger and attribute it.<BR/><BR/>It goes like this:<BR/><BR/>Women and men in a relationship begin each day on the opposite sides of a strongly flowing river which cannot be crossed by wading. Throughout the day, both sides work hard to build a bridge. On the good days, they complete the bridge and meet in the middle in ecstasy.<BR/><BR/>On the other kind of days, they don't.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of the outcome that day, when they awaken the next morning, they discover that they are on opposite sides of a strongly flowing river which cannot be waded.<BR/><BR/>Some might view that as a negative analogy. For me, it simply shouts out that I always need to start with the assumption that my dear wife may be in a different space inside than I am in. I can choose to be sensitive to that, and build the bridge. Or I can choose to be the big bossy guy and try to impose my vision...and insist that we wade into the river.Rick Hamrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09621981388013851089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7263788220250087491.post-34565505763011483812007-08-30T17:36:00.000-06:002007-08-30T17:36:00.000-06:00I love these little glimpses into your life and ma...I love these little glimpses into your life and marriage.
