Memories ....

While reviewing photos for this weeks food column, I ran across these shots from the Feasting on the Farm Event. Fond memories of a special evening at Powell's Farm in San Timoteo Canyon, Redlands. All photography courtesy of ModPhotography (ModPhotography.com).

One more tomato recipe .... Gazpacho !

This post taken from my cousin Karin's blog, a recipe for Gazpacho from cousin Karin's mother, Eva. Eva is pictured in the last photo on this blog, above the photo of me in my chef's coat. In the photo, Eva is separating eggs to bake popovers! Thanks for the great summer tomato recipe Karin and Eva!
