Sunday Spuds
Preparations for a Sunday roast chicken dinner. I quite enjoy cooking when I'm in the mood. I used to rush though food preparation, but I've discovered that if I truly enjoy each task at hand, not only does the task go faster, but it's more fun. So, on a day such as today, a lovely Sunday, I like to put on some happy tunes, take my time, and methodically wash, peel and slice potatoes. These beautiful red potatoes are grown locally and came fresh from the Farmer's Market just yesterday. I have so much appreciation for all the food growers, the distributors and the vendors of the world, who provide such a bounty of food and such easy access to so many delicious products and fresh produce, like these beautiful potatoes.
Tonight's dinner: a herbed, perfectly roasted, succulent chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and a fresh salad of arugula, baby spinach, raddichio, sweet grapes and crumbled goat cheese, lightly dressed with a homemade balsamic dijon dressing.
Here's a poem I love:
Slicing Potatoes
It helps,
putting my hands on a pot, a broom,
in a wash
pail.
I tried painting,
but it was easier to fly slicing
potatoes.
