Posted on September 28, 2012 by scarpettakate

What are we going to do when the tomatoes go away? It was a blandly rhetorical question, but staring down at my plate of dry-farmed Early Girls, a pang of mild panic flickered through me. I don’t know. I DON’T … Continue reading →

Panzanella

Posted on August 17, 2012 by scarpettakate

Posted on August 3, 2012 by scarpettakate
