sister making dinner. uninspired and tired, she finally managed to come up with the idea of mac and cheese with leeks. she looked at her assembled ingredients, and said, “that’s a lot of carbs and fat…” and I thought what she said next was, “Guess I’ll have to go hard on the salad greens.”
I liked the phrasing and laughed at her uncharacteristic use of jargon, and she eventually poked her head around the kitchen doorway and said “… what?”
“Go hard on the salad greens,” I said.
Bewildered, she finally said, “I said, go harvest some salad greens”… because of course that’s where she gets them, not from the store, and I was like, ok, that makes more sense, but it is also a much less colorful way of putting it.
