Broccoli—Roasted
4 to 5 pounds of broccoli
5 Tbs olive oil
1 1/2 tsps kosher salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper,
4 garlic cloves that are peeled and sliced

Preheat the oven to 425.
Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (I just got two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) The key is to dry them THOROUGHLY.
Put the broccoli on a cookie sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. 5 Tbs olive oil, 1 1/2 tsps kosher salt, 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper. Now add 4 garlic cloves that are peeled and sliced and toss them in too.
Roast in the oven 20 to 25 minutes, until “crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.”  I shook the pan around a bit as it went, but not sure that’s necessary.
When it’s done, take it out of the oven–and here’s where it gets really good–zest a lemon over the broccoli, squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli, add 1.5 Tbs more olive oil, 3 Tbs toasted pine nuts (I left those out), and 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese. She also has you add 2 Tbs julienned fresh basil, but I left that out too.

You won’t miss it: the magic combo of the crispy broccoli, the garlic, the lemon and the cheese will make this the best broccoli of your life.
I guarantee it; you will go ga-ga over it. I’m so ga-ga over it that I would seriously consider a trip right now to the store just so I could make this for lunch. Broccoli for lunch? After trying this, you’ll never want to eartr anything else for breakfast, lunch or dinner ever again.

President Spencer W. Kimball (1895–1985) taught that couples should protect their marriage relationship by not disclosing private marital issues to their parents—or anyone else. He said: “Being human, you may someday have differences of opinion resulting even in little quarrels. Neither of you will be so unfaithful to the other as to go back to your parents or friends and discuss with them your little differences. That would be gross disloyalty. Your intimate life is your own and must not be shared with or confided in others. You will not go back to your people for sympathy, but will thresh out your own difficulties.”1

Marriage 196? Potato Salad 5 pds boiled and peeled and salted russet potatoes 18 eggs hard boiled and peeled 2 cups Mayonaise 2 cups dill pickles or bread and butter which ever you prefer Don't add the Mayonnaise until you are ready to eat it so it will last longer. Gma making Potato salad August 20, 2017 for Adam's Farewell and Matt's homecoming Soup Beans pinto beans (2 cups dry) bacon fat and/or salt pork (fatback) onion water salt and pepper To begin, soak 2 cups of dry beans in enough water to cover them over night or preferably 24 hours.  My grandmothers called this “getting the gas out”.  They were exactly right.  Soaking makes the beans easier to digest and causes less bloating and gas.  I like to soak my beans long enough so that they sprout.  I have noticed this takes the unwanted side effects of beans completely away and cuts down on cooking time.  On the day of cooking, put the beans in a large stock pot....
