I am having Thanksgiving at bobbyblue's house, and I've been put in charge of Green Vegetables. I bought nearly the entire supply of broccoli from my local neighborhood vegetable stand and, in chopping it, created what looked like a broccoli massacre in my kitchen, little bits of florets and stems flying, strewn on the table, rolling across the hardwood floor. You know those itsy-bitsy bulbs that broccoli florets are made up of, and how you get extras when you chop broccoli, but they're so tiny it's hard to even collect them and put them back into the food you're cooking? I have legions of those. Legions. I am making broccoli for seventeen people. I am taking seventeen people's broccoli on the L train.
