Day two hundred and fifty-four: Lately, my Sundays have been filled with a lot of cooking, as I prepare several dishes — mostly vegetables — to eat for lunches and dinners throughout the workweek. Today I made my favorite roasted corn with lime and cilantro recipe, and also tried cooking a new mushroom pasta that called for sage and purple basil. While cleaning and chopping up these and other herbs, I started to ponder what my sketch might be, and repeatedly thought about making a simple line drawing of cilantro. When I finally sat down after a full day of cooking and cleaning dishes, I decided to quickly draw a few of my favorite herbs in as little time as possible. And from memory. This may be one of the simplest sketches of the year, but perfect for the busy “get ‘er done” kind of day I’ve had.
