I was so excited to organize Karen’s kitchen this afternoon that I forgot to take any before and after photos! I will have to do that later this week. What started as probably 100 dishes, pots, pans, bowls and appliances on the countertops ended neat and tidy. I’m so jealous of her new space! She even has empty cabinets to fill.
Matt and I walked there, but we had to be driven home due to storms. I started on dinner and decided we’d dine in the dining room by candlelight – fish feels fancy!
At my trip to Whole Foods this afternoon, I picked up some Arctic Char at Karen’s request – she was craving a tomato/Mediterranean fish dish. We had a bunch of potatoes that Matt brought home from the market, so I turned those into a lovely rustic potato bowl as well.
Mediterranean Tomato Fish <— RECIPE!
The potatoes were so good. My mom used to make red parsley potatoes all the time when I was little. I prefer dill to parsley, so I have catered to my taste, but the concept – hot herby potatoes – is the same. Butter, salt and pepper required!
Rustic Potatoes <—- RECIPE!
I am completely stuffed after this dinner that I can’t even fit any water despite my thirst!! Stomach space continues to shrink…
Hoping to fold the laundry and then start a new book! Not sure which one yet… nite!

Those rustic potatoes look amazing! And I love the color of the serving spoons against the color of the table! Beautiful
Yum. Love potatoes with fish.
Thanks for the recipes, Kath! Everything looks so good. I am dying to make it!
Perfect-I’m planning arctic char this week!
I always forget how much I love dills as a spice – must use it again soon!
Is Artic Char like Salmon?
sort of yes, but less fishy?
Can you please come to Chicago and organize my kitchen?
The rustic potato bowl looks delicious!

Those rustic potatoes look absolutely fantastic.
That dinner looks SO good! SO good!
your potatoes looks so good!
I know you’ve been reading a lot lately.. and I’m not sure if you’ve read it or not but if you didn’t you really should look into Divergent by Veronica Roth– I read it in 3/4 days.. and am on the second book now.. it’s amazing lol not sure if you’re into fantasy kind of stuff (it reminded me of the hunger games) but it’s really good!
I’m reading Insurgent right now too and its SO good!!! I’ve spent the last two nights reading until way too late into the night because I can’t put it down.
Just saw the rustic potato recipe- sounds so easy yet flavorful
!
I bet Karen’s new kitchen is amazing! You should show us pics if Karen would allow once she’s all settled in!
Those potatoes look so good!!
I love having empty kitchen cupboards to fill. When we moved into our new house, we had extra cupboard space and I got way too excited about filling them than anyone should. I’m a kitchen geek!
….And now I’m starving! Thanks!
The fish looks great, I whipped out on my trip to Whole Foods this weekend for fish. Now I am a little upset. Parsley rules over dill in my book. Don’t you love a recipe that is so simple and good but easily switch-up-able?
Wow, those potatoes look delicious! Definitely need to try the recipe!
The potatoes look delicious!
That dinner looks gorgeous! Haha and I would love more cabinet space! Studio apartments don’t come with much!
Spending an afternoon organizing a kitchen sounds like fun to me! Is that weird?
Dinner looks awesome!
What book did you end up starting?
On the Island by Tracey Garvis Graves – I read 65 pages straight through, so it’s good!
