Simple simple dressing.

The focus is on the person, not the clothes.

I've made a few delicious things recently.

Here they are before I forget.

Bright cabbage salad

Warm cabbage salad

Swiss chard tart

Stone fruit couscous

Photo is of the sort of triple creme cheeses I've been craving lately. Best so far is Pierre Robert.
