Recently went to Portland, Maine with my sister. It had been a few years and she had never been there before. A very short trip, but it's one of my favorite places to eat. Finally tried Primo-- another 2 hours north east of Portland but so worth the drive. We stayed at a farm near town and listened to a lot of Lionel Richie and Fleetwood Mac. Common ground for us. Good times.

Back at home, my tiny backyard garden is doing well. I was thinking when I harvested the few radishes I grew that I had also bought 75 pounds that week at Restaurant Depot. That place, by the way, makes me so sick. It's the epitome of mass production and consumption. And I'm part of it!! Our business spends hundreds each day there. And so does the entire city of New York. There must be a better way to feed people...

Anyways, no use thinking about things like that. Making some lavender butter, chamomile glycerite, and sage honey instead.
