Here’s the “After” picture promised in previous post of my vegan Wasabi Kohlrabi Herb Potato Salad (see recipe). Redolent of fresh dill, flat-leaf parsley and cilantro, the salad was a CROWD PLEASER on Sunday, as well as at a Labor Day picnic I catered the following day.

Today at Little Locavores (Mpls Farmers Market), rascally free radicals (ie, adorable kids) ganged up on a poor adult, who was feeling sick and weak. Why didn’t his body’s defenses fight them off?

My multi-talented artist friend Brad Dahlgaard came over last night to photograph a meal I prepared. Soon, you will see these mouthwatering images on this site (say, to replace that template “misty fall river” scene up there.)
