Resurrection?

I need to resurrect this blog; I can't believe it has been almost a year and a half since I posted. completely unacceptable, especially since I've been cooking a lot. Baking, making bread, pasta, pizza, chicken, chocolate, lots of chocolate, you name it. I guess I'm just lazy. I had one of the best food experiences of my life in Italy last fall, going to Parma and seeing them make Parmigiano-Reggiano. Now, I refuse to buy anything else. I found a couple of Italian markets in Santa Monica where I have gone a couple times for goodies like amazing olives, pancetta, and even limonata. No, not LEMON SODA :( but San Pellegrino Limonata is pretty close.

Heck, I've even moved since I last posted. This kitchen is small but I have been able to make do.

I even bought a new camera that blows away the one I had before. But I've already had that baby almost a year. No excuses.

I've been going to the Studio City Farmer's Market more and more, almost every Sunday now. It's April, which means strawberry season in California. Picked these babies (delicious babies) up today.

Strawberries



I'm going to try to do better. I must.

I'm so jealous! Our farmers' market doesn't open up until the end of the month, and we won't have local strawberries for several more weeks at least!

awww, that stinks! But it is something to look forward to! I will say, the year-round farmers markets all over the place and the super-fresh stuff is probably my favorite thing about living in California. I'm totally spoiled now.
