Where I Go Out
Behind the Scenes
"Scenes from the days leading up to Valentine’s Day. A 5-ounce Perigord truffle for Contigo’s Valentines, sweetheart cookies, magenta tulips for @elanemerson 💖, ranunculus at the Ferry Plaza market, and Tilden 💞. Happy Valentine’s Day y’all."
"Life has given us lemons (a dozen Meyer lemon trees to be exact)... and calamansi (!), makrut limes, oranges, grapefruits, guavas and avocados! Plus peaches, fuyu persimmons and apples in the summer.
We’re filled with gratitude for our new home in Scotts Valley. Come visit and get your Vitamin C on."
"The King 👑"
