Bitter almonds, this amount – if you eat them raw – will kill you but when treated with heat, which neutralizes the toxicity, they give that delicious almond flavor to cookies, cakes, ice cream, and liqueur.

First haul of the season! I have a secret spot that can only be reached by gravel or mtb but I hadn’t been there for several years because I’m usually gone during fig season. So there’s your upside to COVID-19 😊

We served this tomato 🍅 basil 🌿 tart as a fancy appetizer at the coastal Maine restaurant where I worked in the early ‘90’s. It’s basically a buttermilk biscuit crust with a pile of tomatoes and basil, topped with a blend of mayonnaise and cheese. At the restaurant we made it with kasseri cheese, which was a nod to the Greek heritage of chef/owner, George.

George didn’t have a very deep talent pool to dip into for summer help so he did the best he could with students and migratory workers. He also didn’t have much of a temper so when we invariably made mistakes, he’d stop everything, show us what he wanted, and say, “Move on!”

George introduced me to nasturtiums 💐in salads, berry ketchups, and 3 symbolic coffee beans in a glass of ouzo. One of the great mysteries of George’s kitchen though, was the salad dressing, which he made himself – even at the height of service. One time a diner asked for the recipe and George drily asked the server, “Does she want to sell her soul?” We could always count on someone seeking the recipe at least once each summer to which George would usually throw his hands up and shout, “Over my dead body!”

George passed away last year and, as a gift to the community, his dressing recipe was published in the local newspaper. I have yet to make it but I’ve made this tart every August since 1992. Kasseri is hard to get so this tart has aged sheep’s milk cheese, which is as close as I’ll come this year to my annual homage to George, who probably never knew how far his influence reached. ❤️

It’s a good day for smiling – temps are reasonable, light is crisp, and the trails are dry. #flowstate #gravelride #bicicletasmotril #cyclingSpain 🚵🏼‍♀️🇪🇸

Él 🤬 Purche! It’s charitably nice when your riding partner tells you that you don’t have the right gearing for the climb. But we know the truth, don’t we?

Right now morning is the best time to get out and ride because it’s still cool (that’ll change by 10 a.m.)
Even if it’s only for an hour, it’s worth it
