Silver green fresh thyme
Aromatic earthy herb
Grows on my back deck.
Art Prescription: Cloudy and “cool…” 79 degrees today. In the mood for something in a pot. Rice and beans with freshly cut thyme is a quick wholesome meal. Growing fresh herbs in pots allows for easy pantry meals. The simple addition of home-grown and hand-gathered herbs at the end of the week at least warms the home with something cooking.
Red curry, basil,
Home-grown peppers, tomatoes
Bok-choy and pasta!
Art Prescription: A bag of home-grown peppers came my way today. A hot day calls for a spicy dinner. Took what I had in the fridge, fresh farmer’s market tomatoes and basil from my garden, to make a dish with Thai red curry. Maybe should have seeded the peppers not knowing their “heat” value. Threw in some tofu and yum…I’m hungry! Experimenting in the kitchen is art too!
