The Greatest

(on whom I have had a serious heart throbbing
sweat-your-bangs-out crush since
Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.
(aka Muhammad Ali)
appeared on my TV screen after having won the
1960 Olympic light heavyweight gold medal in Rome.
Did not know much about boxing back then,
but I knew I liked that guy, and still do.)

World heavyweight champion
George Foreman,
known affectionately around his adopted hometown of
Houston, TX as "Big George"
to defend his title.
(Yes, he of George Foreman grill fame.
No, I do not own one; though it would probably do a good job grilling eggplant, portabella mushrooms,
polenta, peppers, pineapples...
Hmmm... do I hear the makings of a
"Veganize the Foreman grill challenge"?
And, no, this is not a 'hint'
for those wanting to gift me something.
If you know me well enough to be thinking along those lines,
the gift of you in my life is precious enough,
thank you,thank you very much!)
In honor of the anniversary of that historic match,
in which The Greatest prevailed,

singing the theme from
Muhammad Ali
singing the theme from
THE GREATEST
the original movie, starring the greatest himself,Muhammad Ali
You Go Brother!)
TV stations have been playing both the original movie,
listed above, and the later version, listed below.
My entree for dinner
served to these two gentlemen would be my favorite
fall/winter recipe,
when collard greens are in season locally and oh so good, from
VEGANOMICON
- the ultimate vegan cookbook,

| Sauteing greens with vegetables and red beans |

| Added chili chocolate mole sauce. I try to keep a batch of this very versatile sauce in the freezer for ready use. |

| Out of the oven, with the moist cornbread crust |

| A truly delicious one dish meal! |
More familiar with the
Whitney Houston
(gone much too soon, RIP dear)
version of the song, and the
Will Smith
version of the
ALI
movie story?
Now you know their origins.
You are welcome!
