Today...(for Erica*)


This is how i started my day: home-cooked steel cut oats with strawberries and cream. The perfect warm-comfort-it's-still-cold-yet-almost-spring breakfast.(And good for you!)

These kumquat beauties were delivered* *yesterday and will be a component of tonight's dinner.

Dinner prep: farro soaking, sliced red onion, yellow cauliflower, endive, and kumquats.

Finished product=sauteed endive,onion,cauliflower,kumquats and orange over farro with shredded crispy duck confit. My hubby described it as "a delicious combination of textures and flavors: chewy,crunchy,tart,savory,sweet and gooood!" Yes, he really does describe food like this. I'm so lucky!

*my friend Erica recently tried a recipe from a past post. She owns the shop Hitchcock in Madrona (Seattle). At least three quatrters of my fabulous "statement" jewelry is from here. Two of which are designed by Erica herself. Stop by next Thursday for a trunk show by one of my fave designers, Regina Chang!

**for a future post. one of my inspirations and providers: Spud.
