Lots of spinach recipies. Although if I have the energy to cook on Easter, it's going to be pan-fried lamb chop over spinach sauteed in this sauce: 2/3 cup white wine, 1 tablespoon butter, juice of one lemon. Simmer until alcohol is gone & butter melted, add spinach. Takes about the same time as frying a lamb chop; top all with crumbled feta.

Crowdsourcing again: this time luxury

Thank you all for the shirt ideas! (I realized that this is my first major wardrobe redo in about 5 years. Wow.)

Now... anyone want to help me crowdsource something a little lot more pretentious?

Long story as short as I can make it - I've been buying chai for breakfast for years, but the new job* means that I can't spare the time to stop at the bakery every morning to get it.** I know from previous experiments that milk heated on the stove or in the microwave just isn't the same, so I'm thinking that I'm going to put part or all of my Discover bonus into a milk steamer/frother.

... a machine about which I know diddly.

Anybody out there got recommendations/warnings for steamers, cappuccino, or espresso machines?



*Seriously, the only reason there aren't steel cage death matches over parking is that they'd have to take spaces out to put in the cages.

**I bet the machine pays for itself in a month over the price of overpriced drink mix and a bakery bagel, TBH.
