| Fresh summer salad ingredients: basil, red and yellow tomatoes. |
We have a wedding to go to. And not just any wedding. My first born son's wedding. I am mother of the groom. For the first time. Twenty-nine summers ago I cradled this soulful, musical being with new mother innocence and awe, lost in the ocean of this newborn's eyes, starting a journey called motherhood with few tools beyond my willing heart and a deep rooted conviction that I would create for him a childhood unlike my own.
And in many ways I did. I listened with curiosity. I valued his opinion. I gave him paper and paint and books and music. I gave him the time and space and respect to create. We hung together as true companions.
He was always good company.
And still is.
He inspires me daily. We connect through Instagram and iChat. He lives his life as an artist. Creatively. He improvises and honors his intuition. He composes music. Takes killer iphone photographs.
And he cooks.
In fact, he inspired this recipe.
Because he loves to grill vegetables.
His lovely bride is a vegetarian.
So the next time I cook for them- as husband and wife- I think I'll make this vegan pasta salad with smoky grilled vegetables.
GET THE RECIPE ...
