Chard, Potato and Adult Fruit Serving

Not my best pic.  But I can't retake it, cause I already ate it.
Baked potato with salsa, sauteed chard and a strawberry margarita (the husband and daughter had strawberry-banana-almond milk smoothies)

The chard was the most time consuming part of dinner.  We had 4 beets with greens still attached (the chard).  I cut off the greens and put the beets back for a later meal.
I separated the the leaves from the stalks.  Chopped the stalks, added a stalk of celery and a half onion chopped.  While the husband sauteed this with some minced garlic I started cutting the leaves up.  To cut the leaves I stacked them, rolled them and sliced.  It took several rounds of this.  And then we added the leaves to the stalks and cooked until they were nicely wilted.  The potatoes were baking during this process.

It is so sad that I do not own a real margarita glass and am drinking a very nice margarita from a plastic cup.  But so many of my glasses have broken that I am refusing to buy any more until we actually move, with the assumption that more will break in the moving process.  I am also not letting the family use my Nortaki Colorwave dishes until we move for the same reason.  They already broke my platter and all my mugs and Nortaki no longer makes the pretty grey since they now have the darker graphite pattern.
