Organic Inspiration


We had the pleasure of visiting a local organic farm today. It felt great to get my hands into the ground and touch dirt. I was instantly calmed by the feeling of the soil between my fingers and the aromas of all of the luscious greens that surrounded me.
A bouquet of wild chive flower, fennel, lavender, lemon sorrel and thyme filled my mouth and serenaded me to return again and again to receive it's blessings.
I felt a spectator in Nature, whose children, my children- in fact all children- were like wild kittens romping through Eden and realizing all of the pleasures that the unaffected world has to offer.
Tasting and seeing all of the herbs, edible flowers and greens inspired me to want to prepare a pallette of fresh, organic uncooked meals to share a little bit of paradise with you.
