Here is a set of snap peas I am working on. I really have no idea why I am doing these vegetable series. I haven't even been eating my vegetables as of late. Last month I was all..."FIVE servings a day!!!" and now I am all, "Ok, who finished the carmel corn?"
Maybe one day, I will get a call from someone saying, "Do you happen to have a series of vegetable art we can publish?" And I can say, "As a matter of fact I do!" Then they will ask, "Do you have one for every letter of the alphabet?" For my own sanity I hope my answer is not "As a matter of fact, I do!" Although if I was a publisher it would make for a cute cookbook....
I think vegetables have gotten a bad rap for years and it is time they got their due! The CAN be yummy, you can eat as many as you want, think of all those vitamins! The are even fat free! Although the new thing at my house is to fry a bit of pancetta and toss the veggies in that and then add a drizzle of honey. If you didn't like green beans before...you will now!
