Here’s a look at the simple meal we made up last night. It was simple to make and delicious.

The small patty of low-fat beef from Tamuras Supermarket in Hauula was grilled, with a little cheese melted over it. Then served with a sautéed vegetable mix of kale, zucchini, onions, fresh garlic, a few small sweet peppers (orange and red for color), and some lemon juice and white wine to keep it all moist while cooking. On the side, a small plate of sliced tomato, green olives, a couple of pickles, and artichoke hearts.

And, of course, a bottle Malbec from Costco.

Meda reminded me to note the vintage leaf plate by the Hawaiian Potters Guild dating from the years around WWII. The green bowl is by Halls, and the plate is Blue Ridge patter by Southern Potteries, also vintage.

The photo, by the way, was taken with my new iPhone 6.
