im trying to put the soul back in food, cooking, and eating. i picked beets, baby carrots, zucchini, and peppers from the garden yesterday, and within a half hour i prepped, cooked, shot, ate, cleaned, and threw the remnants into my back patio compost bucket. there's something so soulful about properly cooked vegetables prepared simply.

here's what's on the plate: zuicchini with course mineral salt and pepper, beets with balsamic vinegar and course salt and pepper, chicken thigh with course salt, pepper, oregano, and tyme, and baby carrots with red wine vinegar, tyme, oregano. i cut the pepper to use with the carrots, but i forgot them on the board.
