I love stories like this – long lost friends who reunite on Facebook. My friend, Marsha Minestrone was procrastinating at work by searching for old high school friends on Facebook. She searched under “Farmers Market High, Class of 1992″ and also under the school mascot, the Mighty Anti-oxident. She stumbled upon Wesley Wheatberry – and boy did he look good. His wheatfro, acne, and braces, had been replaced by fiber, protein, and iron. She loved his “about me” section, which read “when cooked I release an almost nutty flavor. I’m hearty and sort-of crunchy, an all around great whole grain.” So witty! She poked him and wrote him a note, and he immediately wrote back. “Marsha, OMG!! Gr8t 2 hear from u! Look at you with your carrots, spinach, rosemary, chick peas, and sage. You are so hearty! So warm! So flavorful! Gr8t!!” They scheduled a drink the very next night. And you guessed it – minestrone and wheat berries do indeed make a fantastic combination. Thank goodness for Facebook. OMG!! TTYL!!

Ingredients (in no particular order): carrots, chick peas, wheat berries, celery, cabbage, spinach, sage, rosemary, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, homemade vegetable stock goodness
