I always feel a little mean spirited when I make a rhubarb dessert.  I know that my children really don’t get the appeal.  The power of pink is of years gone by.  No amount of sugar can disguise the stalks’ decidedly odd texture.  An acquired taste! Someday. 

Found a stash of gnocchi in the freezer while making room for ice cream and so cashing in on Ramp Butter supply.  Summer!  Hit the snooze button.

Fresh

Unexpected (unless you have dined at my house lately)

Just the right kick

I have yet to serve it to anyone who did not sweat and swoon. A bit of work is required on the front end - mostly just hunting, gathering and chopping an exotic array of ingredients.  Wise to quadruple the spice paste from the get go - quarter, freeze and use as needed.  Fab party in a tupperware!  Now we are talking. 

Hey lazy lady!  Here is a recipe for your first meal back on the job.  Nice and easy and even good cold. Hope you had the perfect mother's day.

One of seven favorite dinners that Plum requested for her week long birthday celebration. Straightforward and divine - just like my gorgeous girl.  Love you to the moon and back. 

Happiness on a plate!
