The challenge of deriving expressions of simplicity continues … deliciously so. The latest expression from the young chef is shortbread cookies but “with guava paste in the middle. I couldn’t help myself!” she said. All the various taste testers in the room gave her two thumbs up.

When I made this little salad of cucumbers, microgreens and red peppers, I had no intention of photographing it but then the sunlight fell just right. What else could I do but find my camera. And then I ate it. 🙂

Though my excuse usually begins, “Let’s see if I can’t find something for dinner,” I’m usually not hungering for food when I meander through the Copley Square Farmers Market.

Like mixing paint in a bowl. That’s how this salad came together. Luckily, it tasted pretty good too. Ingredients: little red tomatoes, little yellow tomatoes, fresh basil, a bit of garlic, drizzle of olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper.

The kale was purchased from the farmers market yesterday. It is a big green bouquet sitting in a silver bowl of water next to the window in the kitchen. The wide frilled leaves are draped over my basil and a few other herbs. It’s temporary shade since we’ll soon eat it up. But until the cooking commences, sunlight shines through the larger leaves.
From across the room I could make out the pale tracery of the stem. It was that illumination that drew me across the room. That was what I intended to photograph, the stems and the various branching. But when I got close my eyes were drawn to something different.
The interior darknesses like shadows in a dense forest. The curling of the leaves. The subtle variation in the colors of green. The leaves reflected in the water like dark clouds in a white sky or fir trees reflected in a still pond.
It was an unexpected moment of observation and exploration of perspective. All to be found in a few leaves of kale. 😉

Mushrooms from the local farmer’s market. In the end, they were chopped, sauteed in butter with red onions, and served up on toast. Yum.
