| Local grown nectarines..try and get the ones with the toughest skin as these are grown in high summer sun with little water and are very sweet, we have had a very dry year so the fruit is very, sweet this year. |

| Soaking the Navy beans overnight for the Pasta e fagioli |
We are having the most bizarre weather this summer in Southern California, July was the coldest since 1919, and tonight and for the next few days we are being told to watch out for thunderstorms and flash flooding, the Mojave Desert had rain this morning, just outside Palm Springs!
Maybe with this in mind my client's have all chosen more or less the same, hearty food for delivery tomorrow.
The menu is :
Pasta e Fagioli..this is a very packed soup that almost eats like a meal, I have added red potatoes, navy beans and penne pasta to a tomato-white wine based soup, with Lima beans, celery, onions, carrots,garlic, mushrooms( I dried some of the Portobellos from last week and then reconstituted and added both the mushrooms and their "juice" makes more flavor layers) finished with fresh basil leaves.
Lentil and vegetable soup..this has added broccoli florets, carrots, onions, garlic, bay leaf, ground cumin and celery. Very Nutritional dense and good any time of year.
The entree is roasted vegetables (carrots, beets, red and white "baby" potatoes, onions, Mexican white squash) with salad greens, Curry-spiced salad dressing and steamed brown rice ( photo above is carrots and potatoes to be marinated in grape seed oil & rosemary overnight before roasting).
Dessert & Bread :

I will post more photos tomorrow, before the early morning deliveries, have a great rest of the day.
