it's all gonna be okay...

Hey,

Sorry about the missed email last week. The truth is, I have been in a low hum of a funk for a while now, and it all came to a head last week, and I didn't feel inspired to write you. More often than not, I put on a brave face and keep pushing through, but sometimes I need a break. So much so that I deactivated my IG account for the foreseeable future. I just felt like I was consuming and consuming and scrolling and scrolling and it just didn’t feel good.

I was looking forward to camping this weekend, but the campground had canceled our reservations due to the smoke in the Sierra's. But, we pivoted our plans, and I am excited to spend a chill weekend in Los Angeles.

Last we spoke, I told you about the tomatoes we were canning! We for 50 pounds of tomatoes and got about 30 jars of peeled tomatoes that we'll use throughout the fall/winter. I used a jar to make tomato eggs for breakfast the other day, and it was so delicious!

Have you ever had tomato eggs?

I have also been finding immense joy at eating stone fruit with freshly whipped cream. It’s so simple but so decadent! I love summer produce!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say hello and check-in with you! I hope all is well on your end! I am working on a post about Lao Gao Ma, my favorite chili oil/crisp, so more on that soon! Also, working on the monthly in season veggie graphic!

Anyways, back to my iced latte and a cinnamon bagel with salmon cream cheese. Don't judge!

XX,

Alisson
