Hello hello and happy Friday!
Grilling and BBQ season is in full swing at our house. Man, I love summer food. Last weekend we made my fave baby back ribs, my crunchy ramen salad (I didn’t have Mandarin oranges so I added chopped Fuji apple for the sweetness), and tossed some tomatoes and cucumber with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and glorious burrata cheese. Simple and so satisfying.

I watched the CNN documentary on Julia Child and I am even more enamored with her than before. What an amazing woman! Then, I listened to this interview with Julia Child’s long-time executive assistant and the inside look she gives on Julia, her love for life, and especially the circumstances surrounding her death are totally fascinating. Just wow.
