TABBOULEH ON RED BEET CARPACCIO

Fancy name for a very simple-to-prepare salad. I’m late late late! This is a dish that I made in July! I used summer beets, zucchini, cucumber, fresh parsley from a nearby garden… I have not taken the time to cook

OKRA SEASON IN THE SOUTH

Have you got any strawberries?” she inquired.
“No, they aren’t in season,” I told her.
“They’re in season at Kroger,” she informed me, as she walked away.
Speechless, I could not help but laugh, and hope that someone will teach children about seasons.

BLACK RADISH & BASIL FLOWER CRUDITÉ

When I purchased a basil plant at the market this summer, I told the farmer that I had already killed two of these plants, so if he had any advice on keeping it in good health, I would be greatly appreciative. “Don’t let the flowers grow,” he told me. I think that they take energy from the plant, and in turn, the leaves don’t grow as nicely.
