This is a shot from the Cowgirl Creamery up in Point Reyes Station from our trip to Sonoma back in May- yet another past travel post that needs doin'
Greetings! Posting will be happening more frequently once the computer situation is resolved - which should be very soon. I have so many posts to catch up on - Sonoma recap (see pic above), summer market days, Malibu wineries, Temecula wineries, brunches (they’re the new dinner party), etc. All this good fooding plus the added benefit of meeting up with some really fantastic, generous, and knowledgeable people has made it a most excellent summer, and most of it within driving reach. So much exploratory food goodness. And, to add happy to happy, the basil plants this year have drowned me in pesto. I’ve been freezing pesto cubes with glee, knowing that come winter, I’ll be able to have some pretty glorious pesto pasta. Also gearing up for some mad, mad preserving. My friend L is a farm-raised import from Indiana and has been begging me to have a good ole fashioned cannin’ in my kitchen. Going to scoop up the last of the summer’s pickling cukes, peppers, and stone fruits in a few weeks. I’m also planning a day trip out to the San Bernardino apple farms in October for a few bushels of orchard gloriola. Apple butter will happen. Oh yes.
Let’s just say my summer? Fuller than my brother at a bbq. That combined with a complete home computer collapse means I haven’t had the time or the ability to post anything of merit.
