Radish + Mint Salad

August 17, 2012 · 8 Comments

Well, it’s Friday once again. This week seemed shorter than normal to me, maybe because I spent most of it in the kitchen and taking trips to visit friends. Between all of that it still seemed my days were pretty quiet and relaxed, even finding some great music that took me to the streets of Paris. And it’s always gratifying to see my desserts being enjoyed in someone’s life, this weekend’s adorable birthday girl loved her hello kitty cupcakes. Seeing people enjoy my creations like that always puts a smile on my face.

I ventured up to Lake George and was absolutely perfect! I went to the horse tracks for the first time, and even enjoyed my first Stewart’s ice cream milkshake. It was the perfect Sunday weather to wear my favorite chevron sundress, go on culinary adventures with friends {Hattie’s in Saratoga Springs is highly recommended!}, and watch people in their antique cars, as they drove off in the sunshine. Hopefully I’ll be back soon to enjoy the lake before the season turns.

Now, back to the recipe. I was looking through one of my favorite cookbooks and was instantly captivated by a photograph of a radish salad. They always say you eat with your eyes first, and my mouth was watering at this beautiful image. Radishes aren’t quite a popular vegetable, considering they can be bitter and most don’t know what to do with them, other than topping a salad. Guilty as charged! But having a bag of radishes just sitting in my refrigerator I decided to create my own version of this salad. The lemon sweetened the radishes, creating a crisp, fresh, and simple salad…just perfect for any summer day! Plus, nothing gets better than picking my own mint from the different varieties growing in my garden. This is definitely a refreshing salad bursting with flavor!

I’m looking forward to another great weekend, and I hope you do too!

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
