big (& little) stuff

an abundant harvest ?? roast 'em - 425 degrees, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic & 1tsp sugar

zucchini, red, yellow + cherry tomatoes, fresh garlic cloves, onions, peppers - 20 -30 mins @ 425 stirring occasionally. I'll add quartered black olives & anchovies, toss with whole wheat pasta & top with a generous dusting of parmigiano regganio - yummy (ps use a big pan so that the vegetables aren't too crowded or they'll steam rather than roast).

roast cauliflower, beets, winter squash, carrots, parsnips, turnip (or combo of) - same recipe

I'm currently crazy about brush strokes & drawing with white ink & a nib pen
Diving in with just a tiny plan, a bold heart and a big brush - the looser & free-er the better
The current issue of Bon Appétit ?? be freakin' still my culinary heart ! Eh Shammy Sham ??
I can't say enough about my current book State of Wonder - fantastic ! best book since Freedom
& there's some big stuff goin' on 'round here. Big reno stuff & big clearing out + organizing stuff.
Working on greeting card designs and a tabletop pattern with flowers for spring 2012 ! hooray !!

happy happy Friday
