Black Rice Tropical Salad
February14
Perhaps on Valentine’s Day, you were checking this space for a long dissertation on love. In my mind, the giving of love, is not about this day. It is about every other day in a year. My only other thought, is that I have found joy and happiness in living my life as a love “distributor”. Love someone new on this day.
I have recently discovered the loveliness of black rice. Last evening, D and I headed out to an Ash Wednesday service and I wanted us to eat quite light. So this was perfect! Actually better than perfect. We were blown away by the flavours-like summertime in your mouth.
