RAIN!

For those of us in drought-stricken California, the last few days have brought us 4 inches of rain, a blessed gift, although not enough to bring us out of the current 3-year record dryness...

Instead of going in my studio on Friday, I sat in front of the window and reveled in that glorious downpour.

I have been doing a lot of cooking lately...from my favorite Jerusalem cookbook, of course...


Very good, with unusual flavors...




Outstanding...the Pomegranate Jam is wonderful and could be used in many ways




This one is from the NYT, also Middle Eastern. Very Good!

Friday, we went out to lunch in the pouring rain...I got to wear my new Polish
Gray Fedora, which I'm using to link to The Style Crone's monthly Hat Attack...
The lovely Judith shares her love of hats with us all...


Back to the studio today, where I'm working with a special fabric from Thailand which I've had for 10 years...

TTYL...

  3. 10 year old fabric - perfect. Nothing like rain after a drought. We had about 7 years of drought before it broke. I never complain about the rain anymore!

  4. Happy to hear of the rain! And your roasted broccoli with tahini garlic sauce is right up my culinary alley.

    I'm loving your Polish Gray Fedora! I have a similar chapeau, and you have inspired me to give it a twirl. Thank you for sharing with Hat Attack!
