“A Martini, Shaken not Stirred” James Bond

The Incredible Edible National Heirloom Exhibition 2016
For years I had been wanting to go to the National Heirloom Exhibition! However, I rarely think about this event, until I’d be driving past the fairgrounds in Santa Rosa, California, during my annual visit there. I’d see the huge sign, and tell myself that next year, I would […]

Tasty Tuesday … End of the Summer Farm Dinner

The woes of the world appear insignificant. Just for this moment!

There is a nip in the air, the leaves are starting to turn and even the flowers are beginning to look like autumn. Where did summer go? Have a wondrous first weekend of fall!
Tasty Tuesday … in Christine’s Garden
There’s nothing like a road trip with good music in the car, and heading somewhere special! Since leaving Sonoma County, California, many years ago, I’ve been going back once a year. It’s important for me to reconnect with the friends I love and miss! This also gives […]
Tasty Tuesday …Saffron Rice with Summer Stir-Fry
Confession! I’ve been distracted from my regular blogging schedule lately! First, we traveled to England in May. Then we came back and were playing catch-up with chores inside and outside the house. But I also had a really hard time just simply adjusting to being […]
