Good times! Super hot out there on the farm, glad I wore sunscreen but probably need a hat next time. It’s probably 20 degrees hotter there than it is in the redwoods where we live.

AliSun and I are just a couple days away from Day 1 of our CSA, Green Valley Community Farm. A CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture, is a …
I mince garlic and ginger. I slice onions thin. I chop potatoes, green peppers, cauliflower. Large pots sizzle, burp and spatter on the six-burner stove. Cumin seeds roast in olive oil, then onions, then coriander, garam masala, fenugreek leaves. Demetrios says fenugreek grows wild many places in India, but not so much here in the US. He’s a stout Greek …
