Pamela: I’ll start shining my trash can lid now. And I seriously doubt your flan could be improved upon. Best flan I ever ate. True confession: I’ve never made flan before.

Gil,
I’d love to give you the flan recipe to see how it can be improved upon or otherwise tarted up. Next time I know we’ll both be at Lisa’s – possibly for a little trash can lid jam – I’ll bring it along.

Thanks Hungry Dog and Alyssa: I hope you get your daily RDA of green stuff in this delicious fashion. Too bad there’s no RDA for bacon…

And Lisa: Sorry I outed you for being a trash-can lid dancer. Everyone already knows you love BM.

I’m glad I’m reading, if for no other reason than the very selfish one that you’ve shared this recipe with us! Thank you, looks delicious. And your friendship, it’s wonderful to have such a great longtime friend!

GOOD GRIEF! Since this is the nicest thing anyone has ever written about me, I guess I’ll refrain from calling you “Crazy Blog Lady,” but I’m sure enough people who know me are already calling you that. I will say, this is a delicious side dish, AND “unfussy”. Also, that is my favorite photograph of all time, so I’m happy to see it here. But, seriously? Trash can lids? Making up dances? Barry Manilow? I honestly have no idea what you’re talking about.

what a lovely post…how lucky you are to have such an old, good friend that still lives close enough to see on a weekly basis! The sprouts & kale look great too.

Yes, those are some short bell-bottoms. Or some long legs. Or both. Sorry we missed you Mrs.R. But good we didn’t share the swine with you and yours.

And Pamela: You’re no slouch in the kitchen yourself. That flan you made stands out in my mind right now…I don’t know what kind of Kale that is. I bought it at the farmer’s market because it was pretty. (I do that a lot. Any idea what to do with Romanian Balloon Peppers?)It’s not the kind of kale I’m used to, either. But it doesn’t taste so different. Any kind would work for this recipe, I think.

Gil,
What kind of kale is that? I’ve only ever cooked with the blue/green, long stalks, curly edges… Yours is almost like rocket.

Pamela,
That may make you not perfect for dressing her in high water bell-bottoms, but Lisa reigns supreme. We’re all lucky she has decent ankles.

But, back to the B-Sprouts. I can’t wait to try this one. I’ve not had nearly as many dinners with Lisa, but I can attest to the fact that they’ve all been spectacular as well as every recipe I’ve tried from unfussyfare.

Bottom line – you’re all three pretty perfect in my book.
