We had perfect weather last Sunday for Dog Mountain Farm’s fourth farm dinner of the season – skies with barely a cloud in sight, and warm sunshine, but not too hot (which was nice since the dinner tables are not shaded!).  We were looking forward to this dinner, since we thought it might be a [...]

I nearly let strawberry season slip away without making my absolute favorite ice cream.  When Eric went to the market on Saturday he heard people talking about how it was the last weekend for strawberries, so he came home with a half flat for me.  I made a small batch of strawberry preserves with black [...]

Twice this week, publications came out featuring copies of our photos.  On Wednesday, the Seattle P-I printed a photo of our friend Lauren Adler, owner of the new Chocolopolis shop on Queen Anne hill.  And then tonight, we picked up a copy of the August Travel + Leisure magazine, which has our photos of Licorous [...]

Take a look at our previous blog posting about Chocolopolis to learn more about Lauren Adler and her new store.
