Where did it all go?!

No matter how many times I cook greens I always forget how a lovely big bunch of greens disappears so quickly in a hot pan. I brought in a big bunch of our bright green and orange Swiss Chard for Brendan and I to enjoy last night. Into the pan with more garlic than most people can tolerate (yum!), and the lid goes on. Moments later, when it was ready to add a splash of red wine vinegar and its almost all gone! Luckily our small servings of chard were delicious, I really enjoyed the slightly mellower taste of this variety and the bright orange stems sure are pretty, even after cooking. I'm glad I waited for it to grow some more--I thought it was never going to get any bigger. Next time I'm planting at least twice as much!
