A Very Long Day Brightened with VERY Good Friends!

What a beautiful day it was today....so many stopped by with whom our lives have intertwined...At about 4pm when the store was nearly silent, in came Sophia DeHoff, a darling waif of Scandinavian blond, a up close to hug me.

Tuesday: A Good Visit and The Kitchen Window, whew!

Altogether, however, I am convinced that...

Squash Blossoms!

After months, even years of trying to snag a Squash Blossom supplier,

our good suppliers at the Southeast Minnesota Food Network filled the bill. One of my favorite summer dishes: light, sustaining, with the most delicious taste remaining for hours on the palate....lemon, bulgar, dill...

So, saw "Julie & Julia" (Meryl Streep and Amy Adams) last night.Way to go, Sara Solie and Kim Hanson (Minnesota Monthly), Sue Zelickson (WCCO radio, columnist and Founder of Women Who Really Cook), Tim Russel and so many more. Even though we sat in the second row and my neck is stiff...
