summer salad

i do not like lettuce. only butter/boston/bibb lettuce that is green and watery and not bitter at all. i do NOT like bitter lettuce. keep your endives and frisee, you gourmand. give me the sweet stuff.

i like to use herbs as my salad greens, and pea shoots are another fave. anyway. here's an easy, delicious salad to make when peaches are ripe and beautiful heirloom tomatoes are juicy.



cilantro, tomato, avocado, peach, and squeezes of lime+orange juices. that's it.
so good.

i made a small, personal portion and put it in a tortilla wrap, to go.

a midwinter night's dream

this is a glimpse of a summertime spread. i worked at this farm for 2 spring months months, and would go back every couple of weeks and harvest summer groceries. mmm. plus eggs with bright, orangey yolks, and bouquets of flowers for the house. good times.



this winter has been full of starchy, sticky foods, for me. this picture is to help me remember what i love about food! soon it will be growing season and i will quit this hibernation diet.
