I'll be picking fresh herbs from my garden tonight. Tortilla soup with cilantro , cucumbers with sour cream and dill, and fresh mint for my strawberry shortcake. The goddess has outsmarted winter with a little help from her aerogarden.
It is really amazing how much the herbs have grown in the past two weeks. I have began to snip small amounts to add to various menus. It is a treat to have fresh organic herbs available on my kitchen counter during the cold, snowy days of a Chicago winter.
I am involved extensively in the arts and entertainment industry.I cover the Chicago scene as an independent contractor for the Chicago Tribune Media Group on ChicagoNow's "Show Me Chicago." (www.chicagonow.com/show-me-chicago) As a journalist, my work has appeared in print in major publications throughout the nation.
But that's way too much information about me as this is Sam's blog. I intend to watch and listen closely to what he is telling me and try to explain the world through his eyes.
