A new cookbook- 

A new cookbook, oh the smell the pictures, hours of entrainment all wrapped in a wonderful white cover. Of course I am talking about The French Laundry Cookbook. Ben bought me the cookbook last week as an inspiration, and it worked; it stirred my blood and made my heart race. 

I started cooking right away! Beet powder, how could you go wrong with beet powder. Spring is here, and with its arrival comes salads of spring vegetables and pea shoots oh the wonders of golden beet dust covering my latest salad creation. 

I just gave myself goose bumps. 

Disclaimer:  I may have started a small fire in my microwave while dehydrating the beats, at which point my son Eli “the rational one”  proclaimed, “mom please don’t do that again.” No Eli that is just it, we must go to the store right now, and buy more beets and try again!  We must try and try and try! A small fire is not enough to stop us from making beautiful, soulful food.
