Home!

Whenever I go abroad I always crave fresh Californian produce. My first meal back from Asia was a salad at Intermezzo. Mike and I also whipped up some spaghetti with tons of fresh basil (using the supposed Delfina recipe), and some sauteed chard and roasted asparagus. Very winter meets spring. Yay for bay area farmer's markets!

Of course there are tons of markets in Asia (where they're "farmer's markets" by default), but you just can't get the same produce that I'm used to here.

Oh yes, I also checked out the new Blue Bottle, gorged myself at our company brunch-fest, and spent a lot of time indoors in front of my computer instead of enjoying the fabulous weather. Home, indeed!
