Meal for the last fling of summer

The storm arrives tomorrow. Wind, rain, clouds. Things that have been scarce these last five months.

The weather situation will be grim, so only one thing to do: make a final tribute to summer meal.

Summer's Last Fling

- Sourdough whole wheat rosemary boules (bread).

- Sencha infused roast acorn and kabocha squash with butter-sautéed pippin apples.

- Ratatouille

- Poached and planked pork shoulder with chimichurri sauce

- Slow braised chicken with three mushrooms

- Baklava

It was a great day to sit outside in the warm sun, something to remember when the tule fog wraps everything in its cold embrace.
