Cooking is one of the best ways I know to plug into the creative process. A couple of days ago I had a cup of soup at the co-op: lentil and sausage. It was very good but inspired me to do even better.
I went to the store yesterday and bought the ingredients, it was difficult to find just the right sausage. I wanted something lean and spicy. I finally settled on a spicy Italian turkey sausage. I went home and chopped the vegetables: carrots, onions, celery. I sauteed the vegetables in olive oil with garlic while I browned the sausage. I threw it all in the pot together with my lentils and water and waited for the lentils to cook.
While I was waiting I decided to add chopped spinach, Italian herb seasoning and tomato sauce. The results were fragrant and colorful. It was such a pleasure to set down at the table with Bill and share my creation. It was nourishing in so many ways.
