These little snackies made it well worth the trouble to have made my own garbanzo bean dip! It’s up to you how many of these you make…just for yourself or for a crowd.

This is the kind of thing that’s yummy to eat on a hot summer day when you just can’t bear to turn on the stove. In fact, a few nights ago we had it along side a baguette and 1/2 a wheel of Sir Francis Drake cheese from Cowgirl Creamery. And while we’re at it, [...]

Last Monday a big group of Zuni folk took a trip up to Tomales Bay to visit the Hog Island Oyster Company. What a beautiful day it was. The sun was out, the sky was blue and the breeze was cool. So cool that no one even felt the imminent sunburns in the making. But [...]
