and the first cool days of fall .

green onion, cucumber, and

mixed with a little olive oil, goat cheese and
fresh sage from my 'garden'

they gave the sauce flavor while it was simmering-
and then they were discarded)
Served over rice with lime, corn, and beans
Recipe 5: Indian chicken
(I have decided that due to the lingering smells
this recipe created in the kitchen...

....when life hands you cream... :)
