My new favorite book

My new favorite book is Animal, Vegetable, Miracle from Barbara Kingsolver. I have always been a person that loves food, but I am starting to appreciate more and more that these days, farmers are the rock stars, not chefs.

Sassafras Tomato Pie

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we love tomatoes. Unfortunately, our season is much shorter and later than other places in the country, so while the peak of the season is here for most, we are still waiting for our little backyard patches of green to turn to red. However, you can find some wonderful heirloom tomatoes now (that have been grown in greenhouses) in specialty grocery stores everywhere.
