Did I mention that it’s overcast here? It’s June. According to twitter, the last time it rained in San Francisco during June was in the 1930s. Crazy. My neighbor kid called it June-uary. How funny is that? She also let me try on 12 of her Silly Bandz yesterday. But that’s besides the point. I’m just irritated that I can’t get started with the outdoor cocktail-ing yet. Instead, I spent yesterday indoors baking and cleaning up my garage…dreaming about cold beer with lime & shrimp tacos.
To taste a bit of summer, I decided to open a jar of the Early Peach Marmalade from Blue Chair Fruit yesterday afternoon but we had no bread in the house. Instead of smearing it on warm buttered toast, I decided to make this walnut shortbread because, why not? The little Martha Stewart recipe card has been sitting on my kitchen counter for months now and I had all of the ingredients…serendipity!
So…Walnut Shortbread. What’s not to like? Buttery, crispy, slightly nutty (wishing for a few nutty chunks!) but very delicate and perfect for preserves. Fantastic snack or breakfast for an overcast day with hot tea. Amazing with peach marmalade. AH-MAZING. If the weather would cooperate, I’d pack a few squares & some jam for makeshift picnic in the park or maybe layer some in an fluffy apricot parfait? But today I plan on crushing some up and adding it to my Greek yogurt with honey and fresh raspberries. That’s just how I roll. Summer, I’ll see you soon.
In short, I really do love my new fridge. If I was in the market for one and had the money, I’d totally buy it! If you are interested in seeing more info about my Electrolux French Door Refrigerator with Wave Touch Controls, check out the Electrolux Website.
Thank you for the opportunity, Electrolux!

155/365 House salad with beets, croutons, goat cheese & walnuts @ Hillstone.
Guess who’s on a salad kick?? That’s right. This girl! I’m making June the month of salads. I will eat more of them…at least one per day. I will love them, and I’ll get rid of this double chin I see staring back at me in my cellphone when I’m typing a text message. What is with that?! Salad will become my new best friend. A best friend that gets rid of my double chin. A best friend that I can eat.
If you’ve been around here for awhile, you already know how much I love citrus and how awesome I think asparagus is. But it wasn’t until now that I married the two and fell in love. This salad was unexpectedly delightful! Crunchy vibrant green asparagus, juicy orange segments, smoky sesame seed heaven…the aftertaste is truly awesome. It’s Asian and then it’s not! This salad is destined for warm afternoon barbecues or fancy Tupperware picnics on the beach. Hello summer. Goodbye double chin!
