Farro and Scary Greens Mush
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry farro cooked unsuccessfully
1 shitload of various greens picked from the neighbor’s garden
Juice of 1/2 small lemon that’s fucking hard as a rock and might actually be a rock
1 giant handful of 3 year old golden raisins
2 oz. cream cheese room temperature
Cook the farro until it’s completely and horrifyingly mushy
Add the cream cheese and stir it until it’s all melted into a brown clump
While the farro is on low heat wash and chop the stolen greens and really wash them in case a hooker wandered over from Aurora during the night and peed on them then add them to the farro
Roll the lemon then microwave it for an hour if you are lucky enough to have a microwave I don’t have one do I miss it? yes but there it is so use your girl or boy hand muscles and squeeze the lemon juice into the mush
Add the dismaying raisins and hope one of them doesn’t break your tooth
