{ Soaking in Spring }
It’s kind of wacky living here in Northern California, where one day everyone is lamenting frost in the vineyards and the next I’m fishing out strappy sundresses. Food-wise, it can get a bit disconcerting too. The heat makes me crave tomatoes and eggplant, yet the peas have yet to plump up. No complaining though.
This spring I also feel like several things are ripening in my career. The novel is just about done–really done. And I’m working on a proposal for a cookbook and starting up something online that I’m excited to share with you all. In the meantime, I’m on call to do some television spots for Cooking Light and continue to have a ball writing Swirling Notions and connecting with food, wine and life bloggers all over the world. So many things just starting to blossom and coming to fruition at the same time . . . must be the weather.
