Cooking sunshine since there was none in the sky

We've had a lot of rain in the last 30 days. A LOT. Everything is soggy. I found myself in a group of folks the other night all color coordinated in grey, to match our craptastic weather. In the midst of all this M and I cooked a meal together recently that was sunshine for our eyes and bellies. I haven't yet posted our dahl recipe but I'll leave you with the photograph and the components.

Red lentil dahl, red quinoa, garden peas and fresh cilantro.
Real food. So beautiful.
Inspired by reading Michael Pollan's "In Defense of Food", and made joyfully, to spite the weather. Here's to blue skies of the palate regardless of what the outside world is doing.
