A friend’s gift from her garden — tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. Simple ingredients that produced a tasty salad once the items were sliced, layered, drizzled with olive oil, and sprinkled with salt, pepper and other seasonings. The meal was accompanied by toasted bread rubbed with garlic. The bread was also provided by a friend, but I forgot to photograph the bread before I ate it. Next time … 😉

my rainbow plate
And when I’m not looking out the window to see what the sun is doing to water droplets, there are the rainbows illuminated by the sun on my plate.

Well, at least a very ripe avocado was the first ingredient and then I scavenged about the kitchen. The end result was unruly and messy but quite tasty.

The Menu
First Course – Smoked Salmon Salad
A bed of fresh spinach greens topped with sliced cherry tomatoes and radishes, chopped red onions and smoked salmon. Liberally season with black pepper and a bit of garlic powder and salt. Drizzle with olive oil.
Second Course – Sauteed Vegetable Medley
Pour olive oil into frying pan. Turn heat down low. Coarsely chop red onions, oyster mushrooms, garlic clove. Toss into frying pan with a bunch of broccoli florets. Add a little chicken broth. Consider adding bacon (but I decided I’ve been eating too much bacon lately). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with some toasted bread.
End the night with an orange. Consider chocolate … 😉

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. 😉

Three Ways to Use One Red Pepper in One Night
1. Finely chop one-third of the red pepper. Sprinkle over one avocado that has been sliced and arranged on a plate. Drizzle whole affair with olive oil and lime juice, and add just a dash of black pepper.
2. Coarsely chop one-third of the red pepper. Toss into chicken broth liberally flavored with garlic and a bit of smoked bacon. Add coarsely chopped oyster mushrooms, scallions and fresh ginger. A few chopped shrimp and some basil added just before the soup was dished up didn’t hurt either.
3. Chop remaining third of the red pepper. Saute in sesame chili oil with a chopped baby zucchini. Serve over white rice.
The End 😉

Next year, if I am lucky enough to meander through the Copley Square Farmers Market each week, I will try to talk with the farmers. To learn more about what they farm and why, and how they choose what produce to display in which city squares and why. The last one of this season in Copley Square will take place Tuesday November 20th from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm. If you’re in the neighborhood, enjoy!

On a gray day in Somerville, a fun respite to quickly capture colors in the kitchen. Hope your day goes well. 😉
