My Art blog is fast becoming a look what I made for dinner blog! I have been finding so much peace over the past few weeks in measuring, dicing, combining, stirring, sauteing, charring...
The science of the kitchen.
The various textures of fresh summer vegetables & herbs... the broiling Tucson heat, the view of the mulberry tree from the kitchen window, the acrid smell of onions, the spongy quality of eight ball zucchini, the heat and smokiness of various types of chilies and grapefruits straight from the grove.
As a starving artist I had been subsisting, mostly, on bread, pasta & processed cheese-so to have fresh ingredients in the house has been heaven.
There is something SO satisfying about cooking with simple ingredients. I love rustic galettes, big bubbling pots of beans, herbs & chilies and coarsely chopped vegetables-I love cooking Wabi Sabi style.
There is something strange about citrus at night (I've always associated it with morning/sunlight) but I couldn't resist the idea of fresh grapefruit cake as a finish to a LONG hot day...
