CSA delights met some @greenbowfarm short ribs from the freezer for dinner a couple nights ago. Seared the ribs, added gorgeous red onion, garlic, bay, thyme, one small can diced tomatoes. After couple hours added turnips and lots of peppers. Another couple hours, lid off last bit to reduce liquid. Oh so good. #homecooking #latesummer #eatinglocal #farmersrock #color #cozy
Harvest of the last couple days. #drivewaygarden #latesummer #eatwhatyougrow
Yesterday. It was a very hoppy day, road trip to take in Yakima Valley hop harvest in a few places and breathe in that one-of-a-kind aromatherapy. Picked up some fresh hop IPA at @balebreaker for sipping back home, too. 'Tis the season! Finishing touches for a @historylink piece. Loved visiting six-generation family farm @carpenterhops, Charles Carpenter planted first hops in Eastern Washington in 1868. #hops #hopharvest #IPA #hopland #yakimavalley #lifeinthenorthwest
Déjeuner en terrasse at @lepichetseattle, capping off a perfectly delightful morning at @pikeplacepublicmarket that began with a treat (apricot croissant, oh so very good) from @lepanierbakery. Hmm. Clearly on a French roll today…..wonder what it'll be for dinner? #pikeplacemarket #summertime #lifeinseattle #alafrancaise #rosé #lunchtime
Morning coffee with a view and last night's vivid sunset from the room. Nice NW getaway at @thechrysalisinnbellingham Dinner last night at @eat.carnal quite good, wood-roasted hanger steak delish. #lifeinthenorthwest #localtravel #weekendaway #onthewaterfront
Oh, what a joy! Back at my super-happy place after far too many months. A la prochaine, mes amis. @lecavisteseattle #fromage #rosé #lifeinseattle #alafrancaise #baràvins
An unexpected gift of golden raspberries from a friend's yard meant a quick addition to last night's menu. Can't remember the last time I used those tartlet pans picked up from @e_dehillerin a million years ago. #summerfruit #summertime #tartlets #dessert #berries #eatwhatyougrow #color
