*summer

Something about summer and the crazy heat in this desert by the ocean makes my appetite squirmy and unpredictable. I do know that the smoothies the friend I married makes me every morning are the best opening to the day I can imagine (well, um, food-wise). He's become quite proficient at blending the best things together--amalgamations of nectarine, flax seeds, bananas, goat yogurt, rice milk, blueberries, and more. This summer, aside from the Hedgebrook chefs' creations, I'd say these smoothies have been my absolute favorite treat. And still, there are so many meals I've not written about...amazing ones...and I will have to again rely on the fact that this summer makes me more squirmy and unpredictable than usual.

Coming soon: food book reviews. Three! Hopefully all up by October!
