A common trait of blogs like mine, is that we write about those fantastic moments when we transcend the mundane with some fabulous creation that we hope will inspire and maybe even inspire awe. The truth is, is that most or all of us have many days when we are too busy to cook from scratch. Tonight was such a night. It was a beautiful day today, with an afternoon spent in the garden and pool. Dinner was simple, quickly prepared and amazing. The star was Trader Joe's Korean Short Ribs cooked on the grill with T.J's organic basmati rice cooked on the stove. Both pretty instant and perfect. A salad of beautiful fresh lettuce, sliced baby red peppers, fresh shelled english peas, cubes of roasted butternut (South African style - roasted with cinnamon, brown sugar and butter and left over from Friday night's dinner), cherry tomatoes, crutons and all tossed in a vinagarette. We ate outside, with the 6 & 7 year olds in their pj's and the glow of a beautiful, slow, Sunday hovering. Plates were emptied at high, lip-smacking speed, everyone was happy and no one had to slave away to make it happen. Pretty perfect in my estimation.
