Kenji- mere hours after reading your post on Friday and thinking "I cannot imagine what that must be like", my own little Sophie (only 8 months old) was killed on our drive home. I know how much you are hurting and how much you miss that little face and the pitter patter of little feet. I wish you strength during this difficult time.

Pimento cheese-- you can take the girl outta NC, but you can't take NC outta the girl :)

Smoked Salmon Benedict! The best of everything :)

I adore this place! Save room for their delicious Strauss Creamery soft serve ice cream for dessert-- with dark caramel sauce or olive oil and sea salt!

I made this exact dinner last night. Is someone stalking me? :)

Toasted sourdough batard with provolone, topped with a perfect slice of tomato, sprouts and a drizzle of mustard vinagrette....

or pasta with too much butter and cheese :)

Chilled Mango!

I LOVE Calolea Olive Oils and their bath products at the Inner Sunset Farmer's market in San Francisco. Besides making wonderfully fresh tasting olive oils and vinegars, their Olive Oil Sea Salt scrub is so divine!

Typically, Trader Joe's wins the freezer aisle in our house:
-Shrimp Gyoza (great punch of ginger)
-Edamame Shumai
-Penne Arrabiata (when I am super lazy)

However, my boyfriend LOVES pierogis and TJ's are awful, so we stick to good 'ole Mrs. T's...add some sour cream, caramelized onions and fresh dill!
