Shawna Williams says
Catherine what a beautiful poem. Now for your recipe,,,,, I have never cooked with broccoli rabe before I always thought it was slightly bitter. In your recipe though you are cooking it with the garlic oil and chicken broth. I think I will have to try this and see how I do. Thank you for sharing it on our Four Seasons Blog Hop. Pinning Now.
