There's nothing too fancy going on here, just tiny potatoes, golden brussels sprout wedges, toasted almonds and lentils tossed together in a olive oil-slicked skillet. I served it with a drizzle of mint and a bit of thinned-out, salted plain yogurt, and a sprinkling of chopped dates. Making the mint drizzle take a bit of extra effort that you could skip if you don't have the inclination to make an extra component.

You might do a handful of grated Parmesan and a bit of lemon zest in place of the mint sauce and yogurt. Happy New Year to everyone, and thank you for all your thoughtful comments on the last post.

You’re sort of a free agent, you get paid weekly, and since you’re not officially on the employee roster, you don’t have to do things like break room duty and clean up after your coworkers. But temping has huge disadvantages, too: you get paid weekly (yes, it’s nice, but it’s also much harder to budget and pay big bills like rent this way!) , you have zero hope of health insurance, and things like national holidays or joining your mom on a 1 day stay-cation hurt your paycheck immensely. No holiday pay can make an enjoyable day like the 4th of July seem a little less exciting, because you know that celebrating the nation’s independence is hindering your own independence.
