Summer flies by
Where has this summer gone? We have been working like crazy people on the farm, catering and welcoming the newest, exciting edition to our lives...drum roll, please...
In the works for over 7 years, we finally have the copies in our hands! They are currently for sale at the restaurant, Zin Restaurant & Wine Bar and they will soon be available on our website. Speaking of which, the new website for the restaurant went up TODAY!!! So exciting. Thanks to Joey and Rosemary for all of their hard work and HUGE thanks to Alan Campbell for his GORGEOUS photos. What a talented man!
Where do I begin to talk about our summer? It has been filled with friends, food and farm. Just last night Farmer Jeff fixed dinner for us. He picked pasilla peppers, anaheim peppers, and some tomatoes. He roasted them and then pureed them and nestled chicken breasts in their sauce and roasted all of it. We also had our sliced tomatoes with garden basil and a good-sized wedge of Humboldt Fog goat cheese. The piece d'resistence, sauteed Spanish "padrone" peppers. YUM!!!
We have also had a couple of our roosters come into their own. I won't go into graphic details, but suffice it to say they have earned their crowing rights! Here is a beauty shot of Ivanhoe. He is the youngest of our Ameraucana roosters and will be put out to stud very soon!
We have also been blessed by a wonderful extern from the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, Denise. She has saved us this summer with all of her farm help, catering help and great attitude. She has also fallen in love with our rooster, Madison and is the unofficial president of the Madison Fan Club. In the near future we will have T shirts for the various chicken fan clubs.
She has also taken some great pictures of our other chickens, including some fun group shots.
She and Farmer Jeff picked a lot of tomatoes the other day for sauce. After cooking half of the tomatoes, they made 25 GALLONS of sauce. Holy Moly!
Denise was also kind enough to take a picture of our newest "Mille Fleur" Belgian Booted Bantam, Lucrezia Borgia.(I am holding her)
Thank you, dear readers of my blog, for your patience this summer. I have had my computer super-charged by Fixer Ken (thank you, Ken!) and now will be able to write blogs and post pictures with ease. In the meantime, have a great Labor Day weekend!
