Well, CSA pickup #1 was today, so dinner will be a big salad with lettuce, spinach, radishes, chives (from my little herb garden) and probably a can of chickpeas dumped on top, with a nice olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing . . .
oh, yes, and some yummy bread (because baking bread every. single. day is totally normal, right?)
and a birthday cake for little Annie, 3 years old today! My old standby, the 6-minute chocolate cake from Moosewood . . . almost as fast as a mix and about 10 times better . . .
leaving tomorrow and not packed yet, augh!!

About Me
- Tall Kate
- In J.D. Salinger's Seymour: An Introduction, Buddy re-reads a letter from his brother Seymour. He writes: "You've been a reader long before you were ever a writer. You simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world Buddy Glass would most want to read if he had his heart's choice. The next step is terrible, but so simple I can hardly believe it as I write it. You just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself." That's my approach to cooking, in a nutshell: I cook what I'd most like to eat. And I'm blessed with a spouse who's happy to eat whatever I make, and kids who do make an effort, most of the time . . .
