serves me right

In my mind, I often remark of how I would love a servant, a cook, someone to serve me right. It seems that feeding twin sons, is like that of a bottomless pit. As soon as one meal is finished, I here rumblings of what is to eat? One thing which is always stocked are plenty of leafy greens to compose a salad, add chopped veggies, an egg, some nuts or dried fruits and maybe even a bit of "fromage" and these utensils are ready to serve me right away.

So, I turn to my trusty salad servers and delight in the price and in giving these as gifts. What do you have at the ready to quench your hunger and serve someone right away at the drop of a hat, or in my case, the drop of a drawing?

Sunday shelf - chopping Spring onions

Several years ago my dear husband gave me the most wonderful gift, this chopping bowl and blade from here.

In mere minutes onions, garlic and spring scallions are chopped and ready to saute. Did you know that onions are one of the oldest vegetables? Many cultures believe onions have medicinal properties, antioxidants and remedy for a common cold or soar throat, some even believe they are an aphrodisiac!

Simply chop spring onions, saute or add to a salad and taste the freshness! Remember before chopping, wash the onions in cold water, light a candle nearby or wear ski goggles to avoid the tears when chopping! A mint or fresh parsley can remedy onion breath!

Enjoy your Spring Sunday!

Sunday Shelf

A little shelf above my oven sits a collection of sorts. A wooden butter mold shaped like a cardinal, a rather coincidental find that resembles my pve design logo. Another mold which my mother gave me, a cookie, "Springerlie" mold for a cookie that is relished during the holidays.
Keeping a lemon out and my hand squeezer reminds me to add a bit of juice, or zest to my dishes. What is on your sunday shelf?
