just cooking stuff

I’m probably one of the messiest & nonchalant cooks you’ll ever meet. I chop veggies crudely, add ingredients out of order, and my tongue is always burnt… but at least a do cook, a lot at that!

My favorite recipes are ones that free-for-all ingredients from my pantry totally work with. Like red lentils. Leftover peppers halves, onions, finishing-up a can of tomatoes, garlic, and shallots, a can of coconut milk; it’s all fair game. And if you’re missing anything, eh, it will still be good.

Also, any reason to wear an apron is a good one! I definitely have a collection built up, but this is one of my favorites! I found it years ago antiquing in Olympia. I added the dala horse as my very first screen-printing project (soooo lucky I didn’t ruin it while I was doing it too!). My dad is Swedish and my mom is Finish, so I’ve always had a soft spot for Scandinavian folk art. I have a pile of cloth napkins with this print as well… maybe I should dig one out for a new and decorative dishtowel….

This recipe is based on this one if you’re curious….

(i have an obnoxiously large collection of vintage leaf and fruit shaped bowls & plates…
they keep me from over using the microwave because non of them are microwave-safe) Hey it's rhubarb season too!
