As an Aside

I have been off the radar for a few days now. It's Mr. P.'s 5th birthday on Friday and I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything done in time including dinner party preparations, small birthday gathering, teacher holiday gifts and planning what in the world we will do with over two weeks off of school!


I love vacation!!! 

Since there's been a lack of crafting over the last few days, I leave you with an easy and pretty side dish....

There's something soothing about eating a dinner that is aesthetically pleasing. 


This purple kale (from the farmer's market) with fresh cilantro made me smile!


I threw both into a pan with olive oil and when cooked, i added some feta cheese and a handful of walnuts. A perfectly simple side dish.
