In the busy schedule I have had over the last year (or so) I had completely forgotten how much I enjoy cooking.

I have been growing my own chilies, the lemon plants are thriving, and it feels oddly satisfying to use home-grown ingredients in the dishes we serve and eat.

Thus, to share my reinvigorated joy of cooking, the freedom of time, the gift of sensory delights, and the miracle that is life, a picture from last evening.
