Chick peas soaked and simmered with coconut milk and spices. Roasted potatoes with thyme and garlic. Fresh-picked kale wilted with shallots and lemon juice. Cucumber salad with baby shiso.
Humble, cleansing food that encourages reflection. I enjoy these meals as much as I do the decadent ones; it’s important to pare down sometimes and appreciate the basics. As fun as it is to get complicated and fancy, I need to be reminded sometimes that this blog is not the boss of me.
Are your turning into a vegan pacifist on us?
But really, looks quite delicious and cleansing indeed!
Not at all, though I do try to eat this way at least once a week. It’s easier in the warm weather.
this is what i want for dinner tonight. as usual, the presentation is as wonerful as i’m sure the food tastes.
yes, cooking for the blog…
how well, i know?
and why do we do this?
ah yes – the fame and fortune…
Hey, I cook honest hippie food too, I just don’t talk about it. (^-^)
(I made fried “rice” with leftover quinoa and ham for dinner tonight.)
I usually leave this kind of meal out, since it’s not that interesting, but I thought it would be a nice complement to the fancier fare.
There’s an inevitable bacon-and-sugar peer pressure I feel when I read food blogs; I just wanted to reel it in a little.
Hey, damn, there’s one of your chive flowers. Pretty.
I’d like to eat that plate of food.
CC: That’s because you’re a hippie.
