Simply two eggs, slightly beaten. Pour into hot, well-buttered frying pan. Fold over. Lightly brown on each side. Touch to make sure center of egg is as firm (or as soft) you prefer. Slide onto plate. Sprinkle with a few fresh chopped herbs. Yum. A good way to start St. Paddy’s Day. 😉

I do not like bananas.
I do not like them green or gold.
I do not like them hot or cold.
I do not like them with pretty brown spots.
I do not like them cut into pots.
I do not like them sliced thick or thin,
not even when placed in a bright shiny tin.
Eat a banana that looks like gourmet abstract art?
No, my dear Sam.
I’d rather eat my wheat bread with ham.

As I entered the store, my intent was clear, to purchase a basil plant for a couple of bucks. I then expected to go home and plant the basil in a bigger pot and watch it grow indoors throughout the spring. I searched and then did find the basil … tucked way in the back of the store … a single plant that didn’t look so good. My eyes then fell upon the tray of cacti. The fuzzy fellow blossoming pink was a bit more than a couple of bucks, but I think that he was worth it.

A few folks have asked so here it is: a view of the black radish next to the more commonly seen red radishes. I picked up my first one simply as something new to photograph. I had no idea how it would taste or how to prepare it. When I mentioned this to a friend of Russian ancestry, she shared some of her family’s recipes. Tastes a little bitter but the carrots and red onion add sweetness. Very high in Vitamin C and full of other good stuff. Just what’s needed as we await the next snowstorm. 😉

black radish salad
1 medium size black radish, peeled and grated
1 large carrot, peeled and grated
1/4 cup or so of finely chopped red onion
a little chopped fresh parsley
Toss all ingredients in bowl with a little olive oil, squeeze of lemon juice, black pepper and pinch of salt. Cover and place in refrigerator to marinate for a bit. Serve alongside saucers of sliced toasted bread that have been lightly rubbed with garlic, sliced red tomatoes and homemade aioli dressing. Smoked salmon on the side wasn’t bad either. 😉

That’s what flowers often are for me, vessels holding sunlight. And that is the title of my series of images appearing in the latest issue of Blackberry: A Magazine. Blackberry is a new digital and print literary magazine showcasing the writing and artwork of black women. The editor did a lovely job of integrating art with words in this issue focused on “where the light is.” Check it out by clicking on the following image.

Remember the orange tulip?
Well, as the petals have dried, all these other colors have been revealed.
