We’ve been shopping the local farmer’s market and eating outdoors as much as possible lately. This time of year the tomatoes are plentiful so I find myself snacking on the little yellow ones like candy and slicing up the larger heirlooms for salads and sandwiches.
This farm to table setting got me thinking just how nice this time of year really is. Though the days are getting a shorter, the evenings are warm and pleasant and worthy of the hours spent lingering al fresco. There’s nothing quite a blissful as a group of friends and family gathered together around an outdoor table with seasonal preparations and a great glass of wine as the sun sets in the distance.
