Yesterday, I think in response to all the lovely comments about the red strawberries, my eyes kept falling upon other red items in the kitchen. The above image is a bowl of plain hummus spiced with a dollop of red pepper sauce. The image below is of sliced red peppers soon to be dunked in the hummus. It was a good snacking day. 😉

Recently a friend shared some strawberries with their intention to be after dinner dessert. After placing them in a bowl and covering them water, she put them on a side table in a little corner. We forgot about them. Once found at the end of the night, I put them away until morning and ate them for breakfast. But of course I had to take a picture first.

Amazing how these photos do collect over the years. Whenever I review such shots, I am reminded of how lucky I have been in my experiences, to have seen and sometimes tasted such beauty in the world. Wherever you are in the world as evening falls where I live, be well. More posts next week. 😉

I’ve written about this bread before (please see here). This time I managed to photograph the end result before consuming all the crumbs.
I’ve been asked for his recipe. He says that he simply plays with the basic Cheese Bread recipe found on page 749 of The Joy of Cooking (1997 ed.). He never uses the same selection of cheese or herbs twice. Mostly it all depends on what’s in the refrigerator or around the kitchen on a given day. This particular holiday loaf had a lot of Parmesan, black pepper and rosemary. Maybe some Cheddar and Gruyere? Well, at least, he keeps track of his culinary revisions on an increasingly smudgy index card.

Straight honey I’ve slowly come to enjoy as an adult. A honey bear can last me quite a while. I use a bit on hot toast or a warm biscuit. Such a breakfast I had this chill morning. And you know what happened? But, of course, the sun came around the corner on her chariot and lit the little creature up.

Olives scooped out of a jar. Oregano leaves pulled from little stems. Everything tossed haphazardly onto salad greens. A drizzle of olive oil. Black pepper and salt. A hunk of bread on the side. An abstract, if tasty, lunch for sure.

That was my intention when I walked out of the Brazilian grocery store with the bag of dried rose petals. To mix rice and roses. Perhaps sprinkle the petals on top of steamed black rice. Or photograph them as they fell upon a bit of mochi ice cream. But so far I’ve just let them sit in a small bowl in the kitchen, catching that light, their pinks and golds stirring my imagination. I did find this really cool recipe for rice with rose petals. The ingredients of the recipe read like a poem. I’m not into pomegranate and I don’t think I can afford saffron. We’ll see what variation on a theme unfolds in my kitchen this winter.
