La Fogata
Like most people, I wake up thinking about what I am going to prepare, or where I am going to dine, for lunch and dinner. I am not counting breakfast here, because most mornings if I have coffee and toast I am good to go, this of course is not counting Sundays (you have gone [...]
Hoes Down Lowdown
Did you make it to the 19th annual Hoes Down festival last Saturday at Full Belly Farm? If not, you missed a gorgeous day of Indian summer in the Capay Valley.
