Considering the source, no offense taken. I am not taking any mood-altering
narcotics, and I never have. Inasmuch as my job requires a Top Secret
clearance and lives depend on my competent performance, I am held to a
higher standard than you. You don't seem to know the difference between
insanity and irascibility, which implies that maybe your grip on reality is
a bit tenuous. I can tell that you have *not* been taking the appropriate
medication for that; I urge you to seek out a mental health professional at
the earliest opportunity so that you can be diagnosed and dosed.

Right: You lied, and I caught you at it.

I hope you get a clue soon!


ObFood: Zucchini, Onion, and Tomato Salad with Saffron and Cinnamon[1]

A nice accompaniment to grilled sea bass, scallops or shrimp.

1 tablespoon olive oil (preferably extra-virgin)
1 pound zucchini (about 4 medium), trimmed, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch
slices
2 medium onions, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
1/4 teaspoon crushed saffron threads
12 ounces tomatoes, cored, cut into 1/4-inch wedges
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini, onions,
garlic, cinnamon stick and saffron. Cover; cook until zucchini is tender and
onions are almost tender, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Remove
from heat. Stir in tomatoes, parsley and mint. Cool to room temperature.
(Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Mix in lemon
juice. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Serves 4
