Just a quick post on this manic Monday to reflect on a weekend of good eating. The overall theme was “mush”, thanks to my new friend the food mill, which I can see is going to be invaluable in mashing roots and legumes. Sweet, potato, black beans… What else can I mash? There’s much to be said for the minimalist kitchen. Over the last few years, I’ve been trying to pare down my kitchen the the absolute essentials.

It was 2004 when I first injured my ankle and I’ve been feeling rather bummed that I’ve let it go this long without getting serious about rehabilitation.
