 It's a combination of culinary discoveries as well as tips that are typically
 applicable to a variety of dishes.
 
-* 05/23/2026: My kid's favourite pesto pasta begins with parsley & spinach (usually frozen
-as we use it for smoothies). Add lemon (1/2 works for a meal which serves 3-4), some
-toasted walnuts, parmesan, salt, pepper. Blitz with some pasta water. Done!
+* 07/05/2026: Summer meals I'm into: Herby things! Herby pasta salad, misc. herbs pureed and topped on everything, "dipping" dinners. Compote (strawberry & red currant thus far). Steamed rice, broiled fish, egg on top.

 * 02/13/2026: Put it on a bed of hummus! Roast meat, veggies, pita are all well served laying on a swirling pool of hummus.
 * 11/15/2025: A rice cooker is an excellent tool for a growing family, in particular when the kids are growing independent. They can place rice, a piece of trout, seasoning, and press a button. In 25 minutes they have an excellent meal for themselves.
 * 04/29/2025: Over the weekend I picked up some sausages from the farmer's market and the only buns I could procure were of the Wonder Bread variety. They are OK, but not great. However, I steamed them and they morphed into something completely upgraded. So, sometimes, it's good to steam your buns!
