Catering!

Last night I catered for a party for the first time.  It was so great!  I love cooking for people, especially delicious organic food with herbs freshly plucked from my garden. 
So my creative bents (photography, music, cooking, gardening, quilting etc.) have been sustaining me both emotionally and financially for the past few years, but my very expensive degrees have yet to return their investment...

EDIT: This is simply not true, I would have never gotten a job at Algonquin College without at least a Master's.  Also education's value is not (ideally) something you can put a price on anyhow. 
I appreciate you, educational opportunities!

Rhubarb Mango Sauce

 

Thanks to the lovely kitchen garden of Krista, I had some luscious rhubarb to work with.  I diced it into chunks, tossed in some mango and a couple of chopped prunes and boiled it on low in a pot until saucy.  Then I added lots of brown sugar to soften the rhubarb.  With 5 stalks of rhubarb and a cup of mango, I made one medium-sized jar of sauce.

Yum!
