This post is made in partnership with Pure Leaf Iced Tea.  I love how certain rituals of summer tickle the nostalgia bone, calling on the memories of our past to mark the passing of the month, the season, the year. Blackberry picking is among my favorite of these seasonal rituals, and every year I am reminded of the […]

  • Stacy - I’m glad you got a good summertime experience with blackberries in this year! I love summer nostalgia, as you know… And I think you’re right about this secret of adulthood – joy in the tiniest moments. We just have to grab it and hold it tight. Wishing you the happiest last weeks of summer. xoxoReplyCancel

  • Taste of France - Oh, when I went back to Kenya after 10 years away, what I craved more than anything was a carrot. A stupid, raw carrot, but if you get one without massive chemicals, grown in fertile soil, it tastes better than anything. Sure, I lusted after mangoes and passion fruit and all kinds of other goodies, but I seriously had dreams about Kenyan carrots. I went to a big supermarket and bought a vegetable peeler, and then I went to a real market (not a supermarket for crying out loud) and bought me some fat Kenyan carrots from somebody who grew them. I went back to the hotel, peeled them and ate them all. Heaven. I’m sure the maid staff wondered why in the world there was a plastic bag with carrot peelings in the trash. But SO GOOD. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water.ReplyCancel

  • Linda@ThereandBackAgainFood - You’re making me miss my camping days! It is so fun to do everything outside…makes the most mundane chores enjoyable. However, when I travel, I prefer to explore the local eateries as much as possible.ReplyCancel

  • Ashlae - Oh how I wish I could be on the road with you. <3ReplyCancel

  • The Wooden Spoon - What a great post! However, now I really want to take a road trip!ReplyCancel

After many years in San Francisco, I have just moved to Portland, Oregon! I am thrilled to be here. I was so ready to shift away from an intensely urban life, I missed the rain desperately, and I am excited to live somewhere that is not dominated by the side effects of the tech economy. […]
