Delusions and Infusions

In the past week alone, we have experienced record breaking heat in Southern California, with temps hitting upwards of 108F in the valleys and inland areas. Short of losing one's mind, laughter becomes essential, whether delusional or not. And new forms of experimentation strike, like fresh new uses for your garden herbs.

Here I was at once inspired by using vodka as my base, and various combinations of herbs and produce, to create 3 different kinds of infused vodka. The taste test, however,

will need to wait till the weekend!

Stay cool, my friends....

Small Sunday Harvest

Sometimes we get so caught up in quantity, living in a world of bottom lines, that we forget the beauty involved in how things grow, and quality of what is harvested. Here is a small but lovely yield on a hot Southern California Sunday.

Green beans, okra, bell pepper, and some thyme.
