Neighborhood Foodie on NBC!

Our friend Jen Barthell was on NBC San Diego yesterday talking about eating “in season” & local foods!  I like to call her @jensrad which, BTW is a very fitting name because in the 3 weeks or so that I’ve known her she’s brought something for us to enjoy each time she pops in for her Farmers’ Market Bag!
The first was this lovely jar of pickled grapes which she displays in the video as well:

The second was a Fiddlehead Fern & Mushroom Risotto that arrived at the exact moment I needed lunch.  Needless to say, I ate before I even thought about taking a picture, so here’s the one she posted on our facebook page:
