Autumn in South California
13 September 2010
Friends in New York and Boston are starting to blog, email and tweet about the pleasures of autumn. Alas, fall is not the same here in Los Angeles. I miss fall! In lieu of actual autumn, my favorite time of year, I post this promotional banner.
You may click on it. It will take you to Amazon’s fall sale. Lame, I know. Like autumn here. (Summer and winter, on the other hand….)
Food
Poultry herbs
3 February 2010
At Whole Foods, I saw a packet of fresh, organic herbs labelled “Poultry Herbs.” Try as I might, I couldn’t find a list of what was inside. Strange. But if you open it up, you will find the exact quantities of rosemary, sage and thyme that my chicken soup recipe calls for. Exact. Ain’t that nice? No extra expense of 3 herbs (and they are expensive), and no extra herbs going bad in the refrigerator. The aroma is wafting even as I type this. Mmm … herbs.
