tasting: the hint of balsamic vinegar, which makes such a difference in this wonderful lentil soup.
listening to: Stan Getz and Bill Evans, on Verve in the '60s. Ideal in the evenings.
touching: the silky hair of my adorable canine companion, who loves sitting in my lap when I turn on (and sit under) our Japanese heater table (kotatsu).
smelling: rosemary I dried for a week or so and then stripped off the branches and placed in a small jar. Such an energizing aroma!
Yes, I've finally remembered to participate in Monica's 5 Senses Tour this week!
how nice to have gathered and dried all that rosemary. i always do, and then rarely use it!
ReplyDeletei've yet to try vinegar in cooking (other than salad i mean). i'm going to have to rectify that.
off to hear that music.
Such a delightful post. Love Stan Getz and rosemary too!

I also enjoyed "Wallender," though I watched the Kenneth Branagh version. Balsamic vinegar in lentil soup, what a great idea. I just made a big pot of lentil soup over the weekend, from "Barefoot Contessa" cookbook. It was delicious, and I added some red wine at the end. Great blogpost!
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggesting Wallender...always looking for something good to watch ...agree with the vinegar on the lentil soup...adds a zing!! Rosemary...I can smell it now...ah... and I love to touch my little Yorkie...he has such beautiful hair..wonderful post!! Love this tour!! <3...
