THE CADENCE OF THE SEASONS . . .
never gets old. We like that nature has a built-in mechanism to teach the value of patience. The most obvious manifestation of this is the seasonality of food. It's always worthwhile to wait for the first vine-ripe tomato, silver queen corn, or juicy, floral peach.
This week brings a few of our September favorites: crab apple cider from our favorite local farmstand. This stuff is bracingly tart and so refreshing as you work through the final heat waves of summer. Our neighbor Mary just put out her pick-your-own sign to indicate that her candy-like concord grapes are plump and ready to go. And Bautista Farm just started selling the 2018 crop of dates online (see link below in tidbits). These edible jewels are nature's candy.
We may only be able to get each item for two weeks a year, but they are well worth the wait. They give us something to look forward to, and have a whole year's worth of flavor concentrated into a short little season.
Speaking of worth the wait, we're making the final tweaks on our revamped blog. Stay tuned in the next week or two, when we'll release the first story. We hope that you'll enjoy the new format and agree that it was worth the work, and the wait.
Cheers,

tidbits...
what we’re reading / listening to / watching / noticing / thinking about / captivated by this Tuesday…
Have you ever eaten a fresh date? It's one of those things that is so far superior to any version you typically find in the grocery or specialty food store that you will NEVER go back. Today is the opening day to order from Bautista Farm - get 'em before they are gone (until next September).

Here's an article to honor the values of conservation and integrity: it's been making the rounds, but it is so worthy of continued sharing.
