"If you are a dreamer,come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!"
-Shel Silverstein, Poet

The refrigerator light goes on...

I like a lot of different flavors but I especially love a dish that is full of savory umami taste. This dish is an umami bomb with the sage, rosemary, beans, olives and steak.
