Busy. Busy.
Busy. I like being busy and
productive. But sometimes, I hit the
wall. Today, my eyes were tired. My mind was fuzzy. And even though, I have a lot of clay work to
do, I knew pushing myself into the studio today was not a good idea.
What to do when I’m tired?
First: Bake. I had a
pile of fresh peaches from the farmer’s market.
Since this is peach season here in the Pacific Northwest, I’ve been
buying peaches every week. I’ve already
made cobblers and crisps, so I decided on peach coffee cake. I didn’t have a recipe, so I took out a few
cookbooks for ideas. I took the batter
from one recipe changed the flour, added a different sugar and buttermilk. Then, added the topping and spices from
another recipe. Here it is Peach Crumble
Coffee Cake.
Second: Mix up a salad or two. I have a pile of gorgeous homegrown
tomatoes. So I sliced them into chunks,
added mozzarella balls, my backyard basil, salt and pepper, then drizzled it
all with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The pasta salad is a basic. Cheese tortellini, chunks of barbequed
chicken, fresh spinach, and green onions all tossed with homemade raspberry
vinegrette.
Third: Sit down and eat.
