I went back to Malibu to hear Amy Tan talk about The Backyard Bird Chronicles. Before the event, I took myself out to dinner. Instead of ordering the cheapest glass of wine on the menu, I spent the extra $3 and got the most expensive. Self-care 😊.
I like the generic Whole Foods packaging for their black lentils, with the peekaboo window showing the product. I also like the price; I haven’t found better, locally or online (not sponsored!) Tonight’s dinner: Umami Mushroom and Lentil Stew. Mm-mmm.
We jumped to our next lilypad this afternoon, in the middle of a doozy of a storm. Now we’re snug and warm, and dinner is simmering, and we’re grateful to good friends who let us stay in their homes.
I stopped in Grass Valley for lunch on my way to the Nature Journal Retreat in the Sierra Nevada.
When inspiration deserts, you can always paint your lunch.
… with strawberries, pomegranate seeds, hemp seeds and micro basil. Pretty good!
Prepping lunch for my Santa Cruz Island trip with the Channel Island Nature Journalers. First time I’m going there, and I’m excited!
I went to a new-to-me Mexican restaurant for lunch; my meal was delicious. I wondered at the preponderance of skulls in the decor, until I looked up the meaning of the establishment’s name and it all made sense.
I very (very) rarely eat or drink out, but today I had to kill half a day in the city, so I enjoyed a light meal at Breakfast by Salt’s Cure. 💯 recommend the avocado toast.
