asparagus-chickpea salad with
smoky avocado dressing

Imagine the acerbic attitude of fresh lemon juice and minced onion contrasted against the sultry smoke of toasted sesame seeds and smoked Spanish paprika-- swimming in a creamy sea of best quality extra-virgin olive oil and unctuous avocado. I created this recipe as a side dish, but I must confess I ate an entree-sized portion for dinner tonight.


Had to post this uber-adorable shot of Bossa Nova showing off her muppet-like tummy...Sometimes she looks so cute that I just have to stop working to squeeze her.


Been on a sewing binge as of late. Threw together this funky potholder last night using fabric scraps...which makes me think, isn't it about time for another contest? Stay tuned. I'll be posting one soon.
