Birthday Dinner at the Mendo Bistro
How August did fly! Summer’s trials are the inverse of winter’s; instead of putting all of our energy into searching for food, you must deal with the overwhelming abundance of fruit, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes. I learned how to do a bunch of new things, out of middle-of-the-night fear that anything would rot in myContinue reading “Birthday Dinner at the Mendo Bistro”
