When your arugula is to mature, stir it in with the beans and chicken that you were going to eat anyway(as if you were). Let the mix sit till it comes to “itself” , the spiciness of the asian arugula will set your mouth free.
The saints that I admire highly recommend sitting in your “weeds” till you come to yourself, once stewing in your own juices you thought would do you in, flavor comes. Something other than yourself-yet it’s been there all along. What was thought to be to old and to bitter has come to flavor our whole dish– it was in the DNA of our makeup the whole time. Let us embrace our crap, sit in our weeds, embrace the bitterness that can flavor our whole lives in to meaning.
Let’s cook our bitterest herb and show it off–in weakness is life. Get it.
