A Thought for Today

"The essence in life is not only to be able to do what one wants, but to want what one can do".

                   Brandt, Ibsen


A Piece of My Work


A Serving Dish

I designed this serving dish with the idea of placing a dip well in the center and surround it with a  space for crackers.

 



A Recipe for Today

Red Bell Peppers (a side dish) 

Ingredients:
 
2 medium red sweet bell peppers, cored and seeded
3 Tbsp. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
½ medium onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp. tomato paste
1/3 c. dry white wine
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
½ tsp. salt

Procedure: 

Cut the peppers into 1”1/2 wide strips lengthwise and across.. Heat a large frying pan and add oil, garlic, onion, and pepper pieces. Sauté over medium heat, covered, until just tender, about 15 min. Stir in the remaining ingredients and cook covered over low heat for 5 min. more. Allow to cool to room temperature.
