Easy but Tasty Broccoli

I wanted a different way to cook broccoli. Boiling always made them have a soggy texture. Steaming works ok but still kinda bla.

So I got some frozen broccoli and let it thaw (because I didn't have any fresh on hand).

Crushed up a couple gloves of garlic, sautéed in some EVO, tossed in the broccoli until heated through.

Mighty tasty!

Oh, you're one of those? Broccoli lover, hey?

My weird one is Spinach. Spinach, vinegar, salt & pepper.

Hey Matt, I hate to sound ignorant, but I guess I am. What is EVO?

Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I should have wrote that out.

The whole "extra" virgin thing has me puzzled. Either you're a virgin or you're not, no? But I think it has to do with the amount of polysaturated fat versus monosaturated fat. Mono fats are more natural and you actually need some amount of them.
