It was one of those afternoons that remained cool, wet and overcast no matter what I did.
Even my cat stared at me as if it was my fault:
So I steamed some broccoli, sliced carrots and yellow squash. Then I tossed them with extra virgin olive oil, salt and a couple handfuls of splendido tiny tomatoes.
...and served it all with roast pork shoulder and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy.
It is marvelous what a little color can do.
My cat remains unimpressed.
