Today's Breakfast, Breakfaststagram

In old Western superstition, green was once thought to bring misfortune, even branded as the devil's color at one point. But look closer and green sits right where luck and misfortune change hands — the gambling table, the racetrack. Maybe that's why Hulk's and Loki's costumes are green — they stand right at the crossing point of good and evil. Meanwhile, hoping to read today's luck and misfortune at the table, I laid down the last of the bok choy (unseen but there), then piled on sprouts, Shine Muscat grapes, green olives, avocado, and broccoli, with olive oil, balsamic, and a good crack of pepper — an all-out pursuit of green for #todaysbreakfast #breakfast #breakfaststagram *I fell asleep imagining how this combination would taste, and it turned out to have every sweet-and-salty element already in it, so — just as I'd hoped — it needed no special dressing at all.
