blessing the one above

Really a big shout out is in store for the almighty G-d who has created all of this amazing world, as it shines in all of its glory, boasting of little other than perfection. how incredibly blessed we are to witness the wonders of creation. From the small colorful silk worms to the soaring hawks in the sky, the mountains and the valleys and all the many unique and beautiful plant life. Even the fungi are worth living to see, their exquisite colors and marvelous shapes. The most incredible part of it all? So much can be seen from so close to our homes. If we know where to look and pick ourselves up and search, we will find it, find all of G-ds infinite creations. *sigh* how much do I love summer and the ability to spend my days amidst nature. Pure rejuvenation: just the recipe to combat the long cold winters the inevitably lay ahead. 

And on a slightly different note, may i say that i love asparagus season, especially when it comes in the form of a dear friends asparagus nettles soup which is absolutely out of this world and if i had nettles laying around I would probably make it right now. 

I made a great sandwich today which is probably worth sharing. See the thing is that in the summer all I want to eat is cold items (unless maybe its a juicy burger off the grill...). Basically, the more salads and sandwiches I eat, and the less stir fries or baked veggies or soups, the happier I am. I have been eating a lot of salad lately, yummy, definitely, but it was time for a change of pace (and something a little less time consuming. So I toasted up some bread, spread on a lil butter, added a nice think layer of smoked salmon, a layer of avocado, a few layers of spinach, a thin layer of some really great mustered and enjoyed!. It was probably one of the better sandwiches I have had in awhile.
