Capturing my love of whole foods, combined with the activity of a bustling kitchen. A weekly collection of photos from the center of my home. * * * * *      top to bottom: the rhubarb is in (I know what I'm making today), spring radishes, dandelion season (one day of dry to harvest a few before rains set in all week), pea pesto, blueberries and seed crackers going into the dehydrator, spices and seeds for dukka making.
We have had a week of cold, dark, gray, windy, and rainy. We have been inside more than we would usually be for May, but we have been finding plenty to keep us busy, and I am thankful for some days where the boys don't mind being busy inside while I work on some articles that are on deadline! It is easier to have holiday decorations out for props when it is cold and gloomy anyway. It has been c-c-c-old. We might even have some frost coming tonight, so maybe we will leave up these twinkly lights when I'm done for some mood enhancing! The good thing about all of this rain is that my surviving rhubarb (I lost some after that brutal winter) had a massive growth spurt and I was able to pick some this morning. Yay! I have a gluten free rhubarb upside down cake in mind. I get to take pictures of hydroponics systems tonight at the local garden center, so it might be nice to take along some goodies for the guys there who are being wonderful about letting me take photos. Hope you are having a wonderful (warm!?!) week. Be sure to visit Heather at Beauty that Moves to link to everyone on the blog hop this week!

It all looks and sounds so delicious. I love rhubarb sadly ours has died off but I'll be getting one for the new garden. I'm sorry you are experiencing bad weather at the moment it's beautiful here but we had thunder and lightening and massive hailstone a few days ago. Such an unsettled spring. I hope it ushers in a warm summer for all of us. 5/15/2014 04:42:56 am
You can't tell it from this week's post but I am in a tee-total rhubarb obsession right now. Honestly, I don't know why everyone isn't the same! Looking forward to seeing the end result of your stalks!

I always love visiting your kitchen days...you are a food artist :-) or is that a foodist! It is so funny to see rhubarb on so many blog posts. :-) Around here, nobody I know had ever heard of it until I introduced them to it. We have 3 plants in the garden,but sadly they are not ready to be harvested yet. Luckily I've been finding it in the grocery store and "hoarding" it. Rhubarb cake this weekend!! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
