Hello lovely friends. I went shopping again and spent quite a bit of time on Etsy. And this is always a good thing.

Searching through stores of handmade crafts on Etsy is something I can spend hours doing. Ultimately I get click happy and start adding to my cart every time I see something beautifully hand made. And if it has anything to do with vintage linens, paper or food styling props, it is super click happy-time.

I was so super stoked to find these handmade individual bread boards by Diana at Our Vintage Home Love! All the bread boards made by Diana are custom and each are unique with their own special characters based on the wood, stain and shape.

Meet our mega beet root from the garden. We decided to name him Henry because we know of a cute, huge dog named by that moniker, and when we think of huge, we think of Henry. So, Henry is pleased to meet you all and wants all of you to guess his weight!

It’s been a heck of a few months and to round off our busiest shooting season ever, we landed in gorgeous Boulder, CO to teach a food photography workshop with Jen and Helen. The mountain scenery was to die for and we polished-off some of the best food that Boulder offered (at least a hint of it in a short 3 days – so much great food there), all in the company of great people and workshop attendees.

Thanks to the heart-warming emails about our last blood orange margarita post, we think about all you blogger folks in the colder parts of the country that don’t get much sunshine, let alone fresh citrus. We’re spoiled because we get to bathe in warm sunshine and drink ourselves silly with fresh blood oranges from the tree.

So that we don’t seem selfish or caddy to rub our blood orange collection in front of everyone, it’s time to share. Blood orange giveaway!!!

That’s right, you read it correctly. We’re sharing the love and giving away fresh blood oranges from our trees to two lucky winners !. Our trees are producing more blood oranges than we can keep up with and there’s many of you out there that can’t get your hands on any decent citrus in your part of country.

Super sweet and fresh prizes from our garden!

Choice of Prizes: Kumquats (1 pound) or Blood Oranges ( 3 pounds )  or Tangerines ( 3 pounds )

What the heck! Or would the winners rather have some sugar sweet tangerines? Or kumquats? We’ll let the winners decide!

Black garlic has been on my list of ingredients to cook with and now thanks to my friend, Jaden of Steamy Kitchen who had a package of black garlic cloves sent to me via David of Earthly Delights,  black garlic is gently perfuming my kitchen with it’s mild pungence. I grew up with fiercely fermented, powerfully pungent foods, so the offer of finally trying a much anticipated aged black garlic was welcomed with open arms and drooled saliva on the kitchen floor.

Since childhood, the pungent strength of aged foods has always been a basic staple to my diet. I say “strength” because relative to all the fermented foods that I’ve had in my life, my mothers  creations were of the super hero strong type, the “wait till it’s green kryptonite” type, the “make you strong” type, the kind that will “knock the jeebers out of you if you were caught on the down wind of it” type.

To this day, I’m fiercely proud to be able to eat, enjoy and appreciate the umami revelations that aged and fermented foods bring to my taste buds. So when the package of black garlic came in the mail, I tore into the box, turned on my stinky food radar and grabbed a tissue paper to catch my eminent drool.
