We picked our garlic a couple of days ago, about 130 heads, the same amount as last year. It won’t be enough to get us through the year but almost. It is hanging in the garage now and I have to say the garage smells great. I picked a big bunch of arugula today. It comprised about fifty percent of our salad tonight. I love how bold it is.
Back in the 80’s I would watch professional photographers like Chris Maggio tart up food before photographing it. Sometimes dyes were involved. Lighting and timing were crucial. Nowadays everybody bangs off pictures of their food. I took the photo above back in January. It looks like a hearty winter pizza. Gloria gave Peggi some sourdough starter years ago and Peggi continues to feed it even if she doesn’t have time to make bread. Lately she has been making pizza dough with it. We had a really good arugula pizza a while back but I guess I neglected to photograph it.
They all look delicious!!’
