This weekend brought a visit from our friend, San Francisco art dealer Edmond Russell. As well as a lifelong enthusiasm for fine art Ed loves to cook and to eat. He gave me a great bread recipe fast and easy, a classic recipe for potatoes Dauphinois and a Meyer Lemon souffle to be made from the basket of lemons he brought along from his own lemon trees in Fairfax, CA. I didn't know the Meyer Lemon was native to California....until Ed told me. As a native he would know.
We also made a visit to Franny's little jewel of a bakery in Point Arena where the impulse was to say "one of each, please". Franny and her mother Barbara do a great service to our community with their lovely creations. No one can resist and we had to pick up some treats, after all it is Valentine's Day!
