Peas are peas, right?! So what could possibly be the difference between split pea soup and "regular" pea soup? <br /></span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">The difference... the type of peas used. <b>Split pea soup is typically made from dried split peas, while green pea soup is made from fresh or frozen green peas</b>. </span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">The following story is about split pea soup. Well, maybe not a story, but certainly a blog, recipe and all.</span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">To begin with, Richard and I love pea soup - especially split pea soup which is usually thicker and creamier. My husband, Richard, which this blog is named for in case you hadn't guessed by now, makes fabulous pea soup, split or otherwise, but especially split. Unfortunately for me, however, not very often. So, in a pinch, since I don't make pea soup myself, we buy canned pea soup. Yes, we know, too much sodium, yada, yada, yada, but there's always a can or two in our pantry of one brand or another. One of our favorites, is also the cheapest... Campbell's Split Pea Soup w/ Bacon.</span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbPSJkjNRnvljRXIZwUgsDcdtJW9C8FZOy82B4w4D8jJ8RgsapGRzbymVoJ1AKR6-PHvkcF5pbBuqYuB6EtTAfGap01lPGUShFLODxRdgCItQ9mOeIuHZH_CJRLZBoLehqWRoPDAwGgdoYQrNMnRb7MzUrcF6UQIAiV540QmubwV-4Dp4WY_lUl9H4w9-/s4032/20240211_093723.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqbPSJkjNRnvljRXIZwUgsDcdtJW9C8FZOy82B4w4D8jJ8RgsapGRzbymVoJ1AKR6-PHvkcF5pbBuqYuB6EtTAfGap01lPGUShFLODxRdgCItQ9mOeIuHZH_CJRLZBoLehqWRoPDAwGgdoYQrNMnRb7MzUrcF6UQIAiV540QmubwV-4Dp4WY_lUl9H4w9-/s320/20240211_093723.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span class="hgKElc">But, the other night, Richard was in a "I feel like making homemade split pea soup for dinner tonight" mood. I cheered, then danced around the house. He bought the ingredients, as well as a Nancy Silverton, La Brea Bakery baguette and started his chef-ing process.</span><p></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">The result was a perfect, satisfying soup supper. But, that wasn't the end of this splendid, culinary pleasure. With enough leftover, we had his split pea soup again two nights later. This time with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.</span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuo_nXzYVu8je2cDpiKkAEbKVVQgihLiBpdc4IEVrLHe1RYqBjImi2QzUQu5tNrY7Ieul1ntwYKWn0PUI27wOGRx0ZYP2yWeobYesvp93kxsGiKLAyGYmbqvyLSHSqf8vUAIQSbIOm7gez7w3K4vybm-hkkneSn-V6WFj-1xEsnmI9uZMDIua8PgtOtKH/s4032/20240210_173824.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfuo_nXzYVu8je2cDpiKkAEbKVVQgihLiBpdc4IEVrLHe1RYqBjImi2QzUQu5tNrY7Ieul1ntwYKWn0PUI27wOGRx0ZYP2yWeobYesvp93kxsGiKLAyGYmbqvyLSHSqf8vUAIQSbIOm7gez7w3K4vybm-hkkneSn-V6WFj-1xEsnmI9uZMDIua8PgtOtKH/s320/20240210_173824.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span class="hgKElc"></span><p></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">Below is the basic recipe Richard used to reach this divine foodie nirvana.</span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">Split Pea Soup Recipe</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">Ingredients:</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1 Tbsp olive oil</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1-1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 medium)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1-1/4 cups chopped celery (about 3 ribs)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1 tsp minced garlic (1 clove)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">4 cups unsalted chicken broth</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">4 cups water</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1 (16 oz) bag of dried split peas, picked over and rinsed </span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">2 bay leaves</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1-1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme, or 1/2 tsp dried thyme</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1-12 lb meaty ham bone or ham shanks</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1 cup chopped carrots</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"><br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">Instructions:</span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">1.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Cocktails… I love them! (I <i>am </i>a food & <i>drink
</i>columnist, after all.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love cocktail
parties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t get me wrong, I’m not
talking cocktail parties you may have seen in classic, black&white “Thin
Man” movies when martinis reigned, or those 1950’s cocktail parties featuring
food fare centered around hors d’oeuvres of onion dip, pigs-in-a-blanket,
deviled eggs, and numerous Kraft toppings on Ritz crackers, especially Kraft’s
cheddar cheese.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Brie on sliced baguette?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What’s brie?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>What’s baguette?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t find those
in a Piggly Wiggly or A&P back then.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then there were the legendary party hostesses in that by-gone era such
as Pearl Mesta and Elsa Maxwell who threw elegant soirees for royalty and the WASP
400 which were featured on the society pages with pictures laden with Beluga
caviar on toast points. Toast points?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The 50s transitioned into the 60s and 70s...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the culture began to change, but cocktail
food fare remained stagnant, doomed to the dip dungeon. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a Woodstock generation budding writer in
NYC, I admired the wit of Nora Ephron and the writings of NY Times Vietnam war
correspondent, Gloria Emerson (full disclosure, both were acquaintances of
mine).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But then Martha Stewart raced across
my admiration radar with a bountiful blip.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>No, I never did jail time, (though I was paddy-wagoned twice in ’68 in
Chicago), but before her stint in the slammer, Martha introduced America to a life
and entertaining ‘style’ … not for those ladies who held grand cocktail and
dinner parties for the glitterati, but for the average American woman (OK, men,
too) who wanted to tastefully (literally and figuratively) host a memorable
party at home on a middle-class budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Martha’s knowledge of home design, cooking, gardening and, yes,
marketing still astounds me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why, you
might ask?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, even if you don’t, I’ll
tell you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As much as I love going to parties, <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">I love, love, love<i> throwing </i>parties!!!</span>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For twenty years my husband and I (in
NYC, later LA) threw an annual Oscar party for 20-30 people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To feed the crowd cheaply (we’re both
writers, need I say more?), I’d make big bowls of baked ziti and green leaf salads,
with nibble sides like chips and cheese and crackers. This was pre-discovery of
Martha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it was our annual Christmas
Eve holiday party held for over two decades in LA that became a tradition for
30-50 of our friends and their families. That’s when I began to channel the
marvelous Ms. Martha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Gourmet and design
on a budget.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My husband during our (well, his more than mine) TV/film
careers in LA had morphed into an incredible cook at the time chefs were
becoming household names.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the
years, Richard did his own Martha-channeling and moved from making basic turkeys,
honey-baked hams and simple salads, into French cassoulets, gourmet beef or turkey
chilis, fancy pastas, and not so simple salads, all on a budget for our open
house (I did my Martha-thing by decorating every room). <br /><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiex6iBl4CxgkhfCA-un-KWIPoQAZP-7CBt1kkt9q4ky6hfE70yrcglBYLoePTsaK4LJxJd1LVSe7qgzqd_vgWxeA823RNSC6OWm0MW_vQRXEsHMCxnpVgQ1Fmh3-FZ5Z_kgNJ40xDmaXd7_-NaOgOwm-JIQCPKb9hn0Xkx0G1hNJRh3dQCzZyet2P4hV-2/s4032/CHEESE%20%20DIP%20with%20caramilized%20onions.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiex6iBl4CxgkhfCA-un-KWIPoQAZP-7CBt1kkt9q4ky6hfE70yrcglBYLoePTsaK4LJxJd1LVSe7qgzqd_vgWxeA823RNSC6OWm0MW_vQRXEsHMCxnpVgQ1Fmh3-FZ5Z_kgNJ40xDmaXd7_-NaOgOwm-JIQCPKb9hn0Xkx0G1hNJRh3dQCzZyet2P4hV-2/s320/CHEESE%20%20DIP%20with%20caramilized%20onions.jpg" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiac-CDeDXC33WXhE_25C6WR2RxSMWDcpeySnW-pprVTQ6eASexAoJ6q6Q1l3etqi5j1s0sZHMJtf9ZuUEEDqeDFrSAJz0ekcwdW4OAwjGutam-DTZUL5O_3MoOE3hgs1UZwJCNJn8Wz3pnG7i2m844HliqDxjfkFoZVU4nIwUkDoT5QZ7706BHowea_a7T/s1600/CHILI-in%20tureen%20centered%20on%20table.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1600" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiac-CDeDXC33WXhE_25C6WR2RxSMWDcpeySnW-pprVTQ6eASexAoJ6q6Q1l3etqi5j1s0sZHMJtf9ZuUEEDqeDFrSAJz0ekcwdW4OAwjGutam-DTZUL5O_3MoOE3hgs1UZwJCNJn8Wz3pnG7i2m844HliqDxjfkFoZVU4nIwUkDoT5QZ7706BHowea_a7T/s320/CHILI-in%20tureen%20centered%20on%20table.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> </div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieKUAqdTwED3uy0SVCKY7rEwAm_i481wKFNE235DaCE2-r_uesE6Fz-uLhqiDvG4hrPpxKpUmOSg3Qg4AiGlQLcqH9TritNAinXKUKtUEeL0-WQQPU9tkuk7j9HGgQsHj099LKKGKCUFs9UARsSL9B47Q72YYCPGFMfmgqp84QnnxuZncdsqVMB-9Eil8g/s320/Christmas09-%20Walnut%20Pasta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="320" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieKUAqdTwED3uy0SVCKY7rEwAm_i481wKFNE235DaCE2-r_uesE6Fz-uLhqiDvG4hrPpxKpUmOSg3Qg4AiGlQLcqH9TritNAinXKUKtUEeL0-WQQPU9tkuk7j9HGgQsHj099LKKGKCUFs9UARsSL9B47Q72YYCPGFMfmgqp84QnnxuZncdsqVMB-9Eil8g/s1600/Christmas09-%20Walnut%20Pasta.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKOVCY-Q1VGgP0dplHpmy_Dc_N7XBELB2wln6o57NgCXi8Mtj15SxvmLolLIVu3r4yLEG6gjcub3ajCEuah4qLKylIhAqOPUnVEgKYrYFQL0IiM50N6K26p9fN3YXD_XBJqfW1k-22k13auhmg_7IYIwK5Ciq2fCrASP9l5ZaiVQ78tQioCSmIkTZQaF4G/s320/Christmas09-saladgreen%20beans.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="239" data-original-width="320" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKOVCY-Q1VGgP0dplHpmy_Dc_N7XBELB2wln6o57NgCXi8Mtj15SxvmLolLIVu3r4yLEG6gjcub3ajCEuah4qLKylIhAqOPUnVEgKYrYFQL0IiM50N6K26p9fN3YXD_XBJqfW1k-22k13auhmg_7IYIwK5Ciq2fCrASP9l5ZaiVQ78tQioCSmIkTZQaF4G/s1600/Christmas09-saladgreen%20beans.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I even started a blog (this blog) honoring

people to perhaps throw a little holiday cocktail party that would end early
enough for folks to party hop elsewhere and take away my holiday doldrums?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We invited 20-25 people we sort of knew and

<p>Dave Cagnacci, a/k/a Private Chef Dave, was trained at the Scottsdale
Culinary Institute and for twenty plus years, give or take a year or two,
worked in restaurants and catered parties, large and small.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, like screenwriters who really want to
direct… it was Chef Dave’s long-held desire to own a burger joint.</p>
<p>Before McDonald’s, et al, over-populated the planet, burger diners, dives,
drive-ins, shacks and stands a/k/a “burger joints” dotted the American
landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was seven when I first fell
in love with such a joint.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vacationing
in Massachusetts, my father drove our family to a popular outdoor burger stand
for dinner. We all loved burgers, so I was shocked when I heard him order
cheeseburgers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“What’s a cheeseburger?”
I asked my mom (remember, this was before the McDonald’s blitzkrieg). Cheese on
ground beef? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, when I took that first
glorious bite of that burger stuffed into a white bread bun, smothered with
American cheese melting over its edges, a chorus of cheese-elujahs sang in my
head. That moment was only enhanced as the sun set over the burger shack, as
lightning bugs lit up the sky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p>Over the years, I’ve often wondered what genius first melted a slice of
cheese on a burger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He or she should be
in the culinary history books!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I even
went to the big public libraries in Boston and New York, but was never able to
find that answer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Finally, Google came
to my rescue… to paraphrase:</p>
<p>As the legend goes, in 1926, sixteen-year-old Lionel Sternberger (Really!
What better name!) was flipping burgers at his father’s restaurant, the Rite
Spot in Pasadena, California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bored,
Lionel decided to slap a slice of American cheese onto a sizzling burger frying
on the grill.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a bite, his dad most
likely heard the same heavenly chorus I did, as the “cheese hamburger” was soon
on the menu.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Others have laid claim to
discovering this food phenom, but it was a bored sixteen-year-old boy (aren’t
all teenagers bored?!) who deserves the honor. To paraphrase a famous quote
from the classic movie western, “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance”… “if you have
to choose between fact or legend, print the legend.”</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaS9Yy13RlkUk0O3AAyWiZhDdq0ZRQKM3EReFmMEKzAzuPJ_wlIjqK4ac8CVxD2qo-tSA2t12iSYNe8s4ZnYANc3j-LkTUEc2-ai7ikrwUI4EMoIQC9nTGR9d8fEYS-xSnybwhgPFEjMKaQeRYGq27JVQ26f_nJbu08jnI8VVgL9ydhNBHdL54183JjwL8/s258/Summit%20-%20burger%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="258" data-original-width="258" height="258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaS9Yy13RlkUk0O3AAyWiZhDdq0ZRQKM3EReFmMEKzAzuPJ_wlIjqK4ac8CVxD2qo-tSA2t12iSYNe8s4ZnYANc3j-LkTUEc2-ai7ikrwUI4EMoIQC9nTGR9d8fEYS-xSnybwhgPFEjMKaQeRYGq27JVQ26f_nJbu08jnI8VVgL9ydhNBHdL54183JjwL8/s1600/Summit%20-%20burger%201.jpg" width="258" /></a></div><p></p>
<p>Dave Cagnacci was probably not thinking of history at all in 2016, when he,
along with his wife Rachel, finally realized his dream and became the proud
owners of The Summit Drive-In, one of the last standing burger stands in
Southern California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the years, I’ve
recreated my seven-year-old summer experience when I could, but mom and pop
outdoor burger joints have been slowly dying, so when I was introduced to Ojai’s
iconic burger drive-in (which was never actually a drive-in, more a drive-up),
I would become that seven-year-old every time I ate there, devouring one of The
Summit’s beef or veggie cheeseburger choices.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Feeling patriotic?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bite into the
Red, White & Blue burger with grilled onions, blue cheese, lettuce, tomato
& secret sauce. Or go “white meat” with one of its chicken sandwiches, such
as the crispy western chicken sandwich with onion rings, cheddar cheese, bacon
and the Summit’s homemade BBQ sauce.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rachel,
The Summit’s general manager, oversees it all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkhROifR1t3BtoG1OCA2mZeoL-0eYhWzHg3l0k6qN39N1Vt4mEglMlkamVKjTdeyKsXr2LSxagrkKQIzDBcHBaxZp9UX9tC1EJC-hnOmw3tuS9nEDbS461ZGULlfSWsG-XuAfh77c5PIg1uTCTcg4fd3WSUXOoCnzn8v-GhrfkBoJ6lJR0tggSirTNl98g/s1000/Summit%20-%20BBQ%20bacon%20westermn%20burger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="1000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkhROifR1t3BtoG1OCA2mZeoL-0eYhWzHg3l0k6qN39N1Vt4mEglMlkamVKjTdeyKsXr2LSxagrkKQIzDBcHBaxZp9UX9tC1EJC-hnOmw3tuS9nEDbS461ZGULlfSWsG-XuAfh77c5PIg1uTCTcg4fd3WSUXOoCnzn8v-GhrfkBoJ6lJR0tggSirTNl98g/s320/Summit%20-%20BBQ%20bacon%20westermn%20burger.jpg" width="320" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhryB-GDBkTxJEyb6BIDkgSS8lIi0FDbe3HitzqX8agMBXETnYQB_kRkqdnuvq43O1_GOJF4J033uQZU0Ojfhc-UsntUMlIlCqxYuivCuU4EyBYBozKD3VO-I7iuU_0spkXcppJivb1Kb2cFmBkvvU3bUqvKWGoT7rNCPyVk8h9Yka1H6JErCPXrRwCnbDs/s1000/Summit%20-%20spicy%20chicken%20sandwich.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhryB-GDBkTxJEyb6BIDkgSS8lIi0FDbe3HitzqX8agMBXETnYQB_kRkqdnuvq43O1_GOJF4J033uQZU0Ojfhc-UsntUMlIlCqxYuivCuU4EyBYBozKD3VO-I7iuU_0spkXcppJivb1Kb2cFmBkvvU3bUqvKWGoT7rNCPyVk8h9Yka1H6JErCPXrRwCnbDs/s320/Summit%20-%20spicy%20chicken%20sandwich.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5BzNBQuo6ntwVqYduXkAMinI_DdAiXldxrY6O_SjaH3xXBzeLtTwJLLwmwBYcd0j-a4JjzdKVuPQHAvgK6SZtY0_aCJmg171SMeannvzlCY8c1lUakLpXKoUkutFKx_nPEMm6b6CGzW3PeZwWpnj8vZeAzbOl-P3uC023ZLqd1c0YnoMPNmUo7ZwvfSU/s1080/Summit%20-%20chicken%20sandwich%20&%20fries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5BzNBQuo6ntwVqYduXkAMinI_DdAiXldxrY6O_SjaH3xXBzeLtTwJLLwmwBYcd0j-a4JjzdKVuPQHAvgK6SZtY0_aCJmg171SMeannvzlCY8c1lUakLpXKoUkutFKx_nPEMm6b6CGzW3PeZwWpnj8vZeAzbOl-P3uC023ZLqd1c0YnoMPNmUo7ZwvfSU/s320/Summit%20-%20chicken%20sandwich%20&%20fries.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p>Some other favorites on the “of the era” menu: tuna and burger melts, BLTs,
and a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and pepper cheese. Naturally, French
fries and onion rings are among the sides, but check out the mac&cheese
bites.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, all of its seasonings,
rubs and secret sauces are made “in house.” Kids even have their own special
menu, including corn dogs and chicken tenders, and drinks range from shakes and
floats to sodas. Top off your meal with the stand’s ice cream sundae. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For early birds, try a breakfast burrito or sandwich
with your coffee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The restaurant also
offers corn burritos, rated at the top of the charts by the “I Love Corn
Burritos Group” which critiques corn burritos around the area on its Facebook
page. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, give The Summit a call to
find out when its famous summer and fall weekend offering of special BBQ tri-tip
is happening… that alone is worth the drive-up. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p><p><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnSNvynMAAJHejeMO1IW1wV7Efkkjs27UUkp5VcQmKyhnOom8SxkIfm0tajxIt83a7mi1U7pqb-8Nzkm_ikrDHdte_206VoQstSx689MNJ92tg5q54K0TzB5KV1jkwbYcT1llfc_rgtpKpiZhhZrThygQgAFBcrHujWp2HjjRTLO9OL3LXHak8ieSTxpg0/s1000/Summit%20-%20patty%20melt%20&%20fries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnSNvynMAAJHejeMO1IW1wV7Efkkjs27UUkp5VcQmKyhnOom8SxkIfm0tajxIt83a7mi1U7pqb-8Nzkm_ikrDHdte_206VoQstSx689MNJ92tg5q54K0TzB5KV1jkwbYcT1llfc_rgtpKpiZhhZrThygQgAFBcrHujWp2HjjRTLO9OL3LXHak8ieSTxpg0/s320/Summit%20-%20patty%20melt%20&%20fries.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYPFTob7EQVaX8mgg_bGs7F3Oln_7SyVwXK9tgI49Din7TDXHcicLZwABTbnTSk0zQAvp-rGXDJCF6IxAMCjScwElLv2oGDDX-vLOIunFyEVa_dDZfwGbnxWKLHPAf3Vv8lYffeFRlQRoMkwoQa-5oly188Tta2IQbpQu1XUKDqeCFffyeep01Bolw0-L/s853/Summit%20-%20onon%20rings%20&%20fries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="640" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigYPFTob7EQVaX8mgg_bGs7F3Oln_7SyVwXK9tgI49Din7TDXHcicLZwABTbnTSk0zQAvp-rGXDJCF6IxAMCjScwElLv2oGDDX-vLOIunFyEVa_dDZfwGbnxWKLHPAf3Vv8lYffeFRlQRoMkwoQa-5oly188Tta2IQbpQu1XUKDqeCFffyeep01Bolw0-L/s320/Summit%20-%20onon%20rings%20&%20fries.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC2TqX8W_lf7wHJkGGeRS8EaozQq2_Ly3TbgHCvft5tPfcOcQQEpMZaifQNwDGirMJX0VNKkiLgou1VUPf_3-gPQ-y7qYHHB1wG36Epxaa7eo16oXoMvVcV-LMgNewElWNfC_tmAASfhqCSSI3d9U1abJrM7lu4fTS6m9xZuR5d7CowXsjV_PIhIrxB0Wi/s1000/Summit%20-%20corn%20burrito.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="750" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC2TqX8W_lf7wHJkGGeRS8EaozQq2_Ly3TbgHCvft5tPfcOcQQEpMZaifQNwDGirMJX0VNKkiLgou1VUPf_3-gPQ-y7qYHHB1wG36Epxaa7eo16oXoMvVcV-LMgNewElWNfC_tmAASfhqCSSI3d9U1abJrM7lu4fTS6m9xZuR5d7CowXsjV_PIhIrxB0Wi/s320/Summit%20-%20corn%20burrito.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p>
<p>But Private Chef Dave, now via The Summit Drive-In, hasn’t stopped
catering.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the valley, his food has
graced wedding receptions, local Air BnBs, bed & breakfast inns, even private
poker games, and special events at places around town, such as Boccali’s,
Thacher School, and Monica Ros School.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recently,
he catered the Rotary Club of Ojai’s 75<sup>th</sup> Anniversary party for 150
people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p>The Summit, originally known as Fay’s Place, was built on the crest of the
dividing line of Upper Ojai and Santa Paula in 1961, and has ever since been a
burger stand and watering hole for Ojai residents, hikers and bikers, tourists,
or travelers just out to enjoy the scenery. </p>
<p>A bit of Summit lore:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Family and
friends’ happy moments and memories are nurtured there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One story Dave likes to tell is, back in the
day when The Summit was Fay’s Place, a reform school was across the
street.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One dedicated teacher would
often take one of her students to Fay’s Place for lunch where they would bond
over burgers and fries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The reform
school has since closed and Fay’s Place became The Summit Drive-In, but over
those years, the teacher and her student stayed connected, and not long ago
recreated their lunch experience at The Summit, sharing moments and memories.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCK0_Kb239nIw0fGV1Dp3ew7wrLLwqTS7Oa2XN_edhS5yfTWE_o3VtEZHmggMIHpgITG8Mg6RLmWSLyofvmi4TifOb8NOzy8lwbsHayy7Ayt0ksgFfdMPkm0yf0Tn5t8kOWXCqRu-bM4A2BZO7JL86GWA-tNGSJA8G1Px_xOF0th-e-wTKakUaP5oZpt4/s1080/Summit%20sign.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="810" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHCK0_Kb239nIw0fGV1Dp3ew7wrLLwqTS7Oa2XN_edhS5yfTWE_o3VtEZHmggMIHpgITG8Mg6RLmWSLyofvmi4TifOb8NOzy8lwbsHayy7Ayt0ksgFfdMPkm0yf0Tn5t8kOWXCqRu-bM4A2BZO7JL86GWA-tNGSJA8G1Px_xOF0th-e-wTKakUaP5oZpt4/s320/Summit%20sign.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p></p>

on its survival.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then the pandemic hit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But this iconic burger joint was kept alive
with the help of a steady stream of longtime customers.</p>
<p>On a personal note, The Summit Drive-In brings back so many joyful memories of
my first burger shack/stand experience with its outdoor picnic-esque
atmosphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love trying this joint’s
new cheeseburgers and crispy chicken sandwiches… so much so, I’ve been known to
order one of each when I’m there (a dietary habit that keeps me going to the
gym). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Drive out and drive up to the
drive-in with family or friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No
doubt, you will create your own memorable moments and joyful memories.</p>

from Arcadia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His father, a
restaurateur, owned a slew of coffee shops, truck stops, diners and the like
(not at the same time).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His dad was also
a chain-smoking alcoholic who spent most of his days and nights at whatever restaurant
he owned at the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be closer to
his father, Tere began to work in ‘whatever’ restaurant dad owned, chopping
food, busing tables, cleaning the kitchen. ‘Whatever’ manual labor a kid could
do, he did. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Though born in America, Tere’s first language was Greek,
because of his Greek heritage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His
mother, who suffered from bi-polar disorder and often unable to be a guiding
parent for Tere and his brother, taught English to herself and to Tere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She also encouraged him to expend his hyper,
high-strung energy playing sports, beginning with Little League.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Baseball became a passion, and like many
talented young boys before him, Tere dreamed of playing in the majors, but soon
realized that, as good as he was, he wasn’t talented enough to make <i>the show</i>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But he never lost his love of playing sports
and turned to soccer, skateboarding and surfing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was sports, especially surfing, that
taught him a steely determination as he practiced and practiced ‘til he
mastered it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Unfortunately, his childhood freedom from lack of parental
supervision led him to start drinking at age twelve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His “gateway drink” to many years of alcohol
abuse was his father’s stash of Budweiser.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At fifteen, cannabis became Tere’s “gateway drug” to battling years of
drug addiction.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He dropped out of high
school and paid for his booze and drugs by working various jobs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He dabbled in construction, found gigs in
restaurants and sold sports equipment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When he was able, he’d skateboard or catch a wave. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">One evening while drinking and smoking with his father, Tere
had a sad moment of self-realization…he was becoming his father, and this was
not the man he wanted to be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He needed
help.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His brother brought Tere to
Alcoholics Anonymous and “Hollywood Late Night” AA gatherings which he
describes as a “Rocky Horror Picture Show” experience… one in which he felt at
home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He related to those in attendance,
from the famous to the infamous, and he understood how AA’s 12-Step program
could help him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was in AA that he met
Kristen. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Connecticut born and Texas raised, Kristen was parented and
guided by her mother who worked for a corporate lawyer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her father, a major drug smuggler who
believed marijuana should be legal and accessible to everyone, was in and out
of jail most of her life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kristen left
Texas when she entered Hamilton College in New York, then worked for years in the
city in the book publishing business at St. Martin’s Press, Simon &
Schuster and Harper Collins. Traumatized by 9/11, Kristen left NY and moved to
LA, only to return to NYC in 2006 to work with Judith Regan at Regan Books. When
Regan Books relocated to LA, Kristen went, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During her years in LA, she also worked in the feature film business and
as an assistant to a top-Hollywood agent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While Kristen’s career appeared fulfilling and glamorous, she developed a
serious drinking problem over the years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Settled in Los Angeles, she became a fundraiser for an
LA-based non-profit serving low-income families.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went to AA, picked up a pen (keyboard)
and began writing. Her first screenplay, “The Betty” was optioned and her first
book (non-fiction), “5150: The Magical Adventures of a Single Life” was
released.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Living a single life in LA,
entering her thirties and newly sober, she began her social experiment… 51
dates in 50 weeks and discovered that finding love was a harder struggle than
finding sobriety. Today Kristen is in the process of developing her own
publishing imprint for fiction and non-fiction books, and is working on her
first novel, “Live Through This,” which is scheduled to be published by Rise
Books in August. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Tere and Kristen first met they were involved in other
relationships and initially became good friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When those separate relationships ended, they
spent more time together, fell in love and later married.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They lived in Paris for a year, “which was
actually the first time we talked about opening a pizza shop. AIR Pizza
Paris?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knows?” she says. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They’ve now been together a dozen years,
married for ten and have two children – a seven-year old daughter and a four-year
old son. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Now sober, Tere was mentored in LA by Salman Agah, the
founder of Pizzanista pizzerias that specialize in NY-style thin-crust
pizzas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While Tere was perfecting his
pizza-making craft, Kristen had an unexplained revelation while watching the Taylor
Sheridan movie “Wind River” and told Tere they had to leave LA and move to Ojai
to raise their family. Tammy and Stefanos Bernardi, owners of Ojai’s popular
Osteria Monte Grappa restaurant, took them under their wings and helped them
bring AIR Pizza to fruition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tere, a
UCLA trained alcohol and drug counsellor who ran a Sober Living program in LA,
wanted to continue helping others struggling with addictions and named the new
restaurant AIR Pizza – Athletes In Recovery – in honor of Tere’s athletic
background and his respect for athletes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He has opened the restaurant’s doors to all in need for meetings on
Monday mornings where they follow a basic twelve-step program which includes
finding a new freedom and happiness, discarding self-pity and exploring ways to
help others through past experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Pizza in Ojai – Tere and Kristen have got you covered, and
if need be, recovered.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Well, maybe in northern climes from Maine to Oregon,
but here in Ojai “sweater weather” is a highly variable concept. Instead<i>, </i>you might find Ojaians
sunbathing in our backyards, sunning in Libbey Park or swimming in an outdoor
pool while folks in other parts of the country are ice skating on frozen ponds
or shoveling snow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But Ojai,
nevertheless, decks its halls – or in our case the “Arcade “- with boughs of
holly, and steeps itself in the holiday spirit. (Heck, you ain’t seen anything
until you see a palm tree lit up like a Christmas tree.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, just like Americans all across the
country, Ojaians gather family and friends close.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Celebrating and <i>breaking bread </i>with
those we love is especially important this holiday season whether you cook
together, or cook and share a meal around a virtual table on Zoom. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Food can comfort us in times of joy and sorrow
and unify us in times of stress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Because we were deprived from gathering in large

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My next “kitchen” call, this time for a holiday entrée,
was to world-class chef Claud Mann.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many
of us know Claud from TBS’ long running program, “Dinner & A Movie,” a
television show he co-created and hosted. But Claud was more than just a pretty
television face, he was also a chef with a healthful mission.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He began his gastronomical career as a chef
at a San Francisco fine dining restaurant, but soon left to join “Project Open
Hand,” which cooked and delivered healthful meals to homebound AIDS
patients.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s also written recipes and
essays for the NY and LA Times, as well as other newspapers around the country,
not to mention for magazines such as “Cooking Light.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After moving to Ojai, Claud became co-publisher of the
James Beard Award winning “Edible Ojai & Ventura County Magazine;” worked
closely with The Orfalea Foundation’s School Food Initiative in Santa Barbara
County; and was a founding Board member of “Food For Thought - The Ojai Healthy
Schools” here in Ojai… programs that work with public schools to help students learn
how to eat more healthfully by bringing fresh ingredients and scratch cooking
into the schools’ cafeterias. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Never resting on his “laurels,” while severely injured
with a broken ankle, Claud wheeled a stool around his kitchen and taught
himself the art of bread making.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He now
supplies the fruits of that labor to some of our best local eating
establishments, including Rotie, a restaurant he co-founded a few years
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He also donates loaves to those in
need.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">His recipe for a sumptuous holiday entrée?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Duck confit!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“<span style="color: #353535;">Some people

and then cooking at a very low heat, the final product is lean and fall-apart
tender. Confit is a preparation (comparable to fermentation, smoking and
pickling) all of which arose as methods of preservation prior to the advent of
refrigeration. As the duck cooks, the intoxicating scents of ginger, clove,
cinnamon, (and of course, roast duck) fill the kitchen.” CM</span></i></b></p>

BOOK OF RUTH</span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">By
Ilona Saari <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I love to eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cooking?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I do love to read cookbooks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, not really “read” as I barely scan the
recipes, it’s the pictures of food that tantalize my tongue… how that food is
plated, the dishes used – you know, “food porn.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, I then show these pictures to my
husband, who <i>does </i>love to cook, and ask him to work his culinary mojo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">I first met six-times James Beard Award winner Ruth
Reichl (virtually) when my husband brought home “The Gourmet Cookbook,” her massive
tome with the heft and weight of a family bible. The comparison is apt, since
it became <i>his </i>cooking bible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are no pictures, but I’ve salivated over every meal he’s made from
that book and took my own pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
the past, I had often thought of writing about food, but I was a political
satirist and wrote comedic essays and scripts for TV.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Food writers seemed to take their craft quite
seriously… that is until I discovered the Book of Ruth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">My second virtual introduction to Ruth took place when
my book group chose her 2001 memoir, “Comfort Me with Apples.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fell in love with her conversational
writing flare that recounted how she became a food critic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her travel adventures that focused on the
world’s cuisines were funny and informative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was so inspired by her stories that I started this food blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ruth showed me that writing about food can be
fun, often “tongue-in-cheek,” even tongue-in-cheeky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw how it was possible to pen a mini-memoir
about a home cooked meal or a restaurant dinner that made readers relate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, when I read that Ruth was going to do a
book signing at a luncheon at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa’s Farmhouse, I begged
and pleaded with my publisher/editor (strategic tears in my eyes) that the
Ojai Quarterly send me to cover the event. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OK,
no tears (poetic license), but he agreed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That was all that mattered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Farmhouse is a twenty-million dollar food event
venue with a huge barn-like structure that houses a large “open to the room” working
kitchen and space for many tables, plus lovely grounds that can host all sorts
of parties, from weddings to masked balls (that is, if anyone still does masked
balls).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Inside the barn, folks were mingling while sipping
fine wine and nibbling on pink deviled eggs, buckwheat blinis with salmon roe,
and tomato gazpacho passed on trays by Farmhouse servers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYcr0cvbXaYV59DNiLXd3G6B-QD9XE5XgLYILQA_By4LzJjTq997GW9tQUO30syWujYcDGNAsaHU6wSVSIFM-oO-YTBFvwRDfwNcw-leYBUr1aa0t5KZ_gvDNyjB8M--Fx7R3LWJ7Al3dWI5fyP6aA3fk4s4mCESm3Qe_adRgQWcdsmVmeq1rhJMPQbQ/s4032/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20table.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYcr0cvbXaYV59DNiLXd3G6B-QD9XE5XgLYILQA_By4LzJjTq997GW9tQUO30syWujYcDGNAsaHU6wSVSIFM-oO-YTBFvwRDfwNcw-leYBUr1aa0t5KZ_gvDNyjB8M--Fx7R3LWJ7Al3dWI5fyP6aA3fk4s4mCESm3Qe_adRgQWcdsmVmeq1rhJMPQbQ/s320/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20table.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorWUb09u6tfk_4ow7u9FslIoB-OxgCArP1qeVAP30lovoAyTP6IxRPYkpMe2GmwnIG25W4uZgyffnCXGvp9NlnDLMJXeYIzgoNHsnhte_kx_ki8oN9BNucZC_omYfxyiwnRXX8pWaX6w6R20fxMl9C_67Snfq8gctmZBmZFcbPxlchzdzbwWfV666sg/s4032/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20mingling.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgorWUb09u6tfk_4ow7u9FslIoB-OxgCArP1qeVAP30lovoAyTP6IxRPYkpMe2GmwnIG25W4uZgyffnCXGvp9NlnDLMJXeYIzgoNHsnhte_kx_ki8oN9BNucZC_omYfxyiwnRXX8pWaX6w6R20fxMl9C_67Snfq8gctmZBmZFcbPxlchzdzbwWfV666sg/s320/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20mingling.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7Ea4vH_hZU8KKAuG33XDuUNiVIEkNidkjx0IZQf4CfNJ9udsXedeSG-gWxnVz74tu85Crc2l_vu201nuMqxBk6gbnP-oRFaFko0NkIsuXBdt6eO1J386l5P7r_CRbA8snvSbCW5yg8K7Q6C3hOUOW8yBM1mu4gx526H57Er5XkME2S4oRK9tzSdh3A/s4032/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20buckwheat%20blinis%20with%20salmon%20roe%20on%20cutting%20board.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7Ea4vH_hZU8KKAuG33XDuUNiVIEkNidkjx0IZQf4CfNJ9udsXedeSG-gWxnVz74tu85Crc2l_vu201nuMqxBk6gbnP-oRFaFko0NkIsuXBdt6eO1J386l5P7r_CRbA8snvSbCW5yg8K7Q6C3hOUOW8yBM1mu4gx526H57Er5XkME2S4oRK9tzSdh3A/s320/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20buckwheat%20blinis%20with%20salmon%20roe%20on%20cutting%20board.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztiwYJBtL1UGH3hIyXYwMYswWhVolpNZPom6BudTJ8sV_ErvvbXxvitL26ECe47HmONLAKHxAx9d6fnxQ3P6OT1AJtI_WgTLUOkpqYs4pOo4sSLyyUJmqEwqF0qwK8klflcuWIjwI1SONjmEA8N7CzweDCAxXRTQVA3vUCu3u0TxtHJJZ9I7c_7w8NQ/s4032/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20pink%20deviled%20eggs%20&%20gazpacho%20-%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztiwYJBtL1UGH3hIyXYwMYswWhVolpNZPom6BudTJ8sV_ErvvbXxvitL26ECe47HmONLAKHxAx9d6fnxQ3P6OT1AJtI_WgTLUOkpqYs4pOo4sSLyyUJmqEwqF0qwK8klflcuWIjwI1SONjmEA8N7CzweDCAxXRTQVA3vUCu3u0TxtHJJZ9I7c_7w8NQ/s320/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20pink%20deviled%20eggs%20&%20gazpacho%20-%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> Internationally known chef and author Nancy Silverton,

at Gourmet Magazine and why writing “Save Me The Plums” about that era of her
life, was important to her… how the publisher, Conde Nast supported her vision
and never micro-managed, giving her carte blanche to push the food magazine
envelope… a freedom given an editor that few, if any, publisher allows today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She rewarded that trust by straddling the
fence, continuing to give old subscribers what they wanted while bringing a new
approach to the magazine that would garner new subscribers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also important to her that this new
book clearly demonstrate that women can be mothers while having a challenging
career.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1nbhh1-nCi8isO4fjjVlO9x1NEcBGWo7vb6ed6zvCuYsadUiMWTOvLP7VFW4JPTNoJTrIa5lP70Bg6EGMEd7Bni_N4P0yAPAp8iaCIk0MerI3JZMQcd7DDsxxy1qc_u5vQl2ucRfCKeqRsqv7o59AqEkAZglFIuqZnm6e3sNJHPHAXpEEeHMgeUw8jw/s4032/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20giving%20talk%20-%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1nbhh1-nCi8isO4fjjVlO9x1NEcBGWo7vb6ed6zvCuYsadUiMWTOvLP7VFW4JPTNoJTrIa5lP70Bg6EGMEd7Bni_N4P0yAPAp8iaCIk0MerI3JZMQcd7DDsxxy1qc_u5vQl2ucRfCKeqRsqv7o59AqEkAZglFIuqZnm6e3sNJHPHAXpEEeHMgeUw8jw/s320/RUTH%20REICHL%20-%20giving%20talk%20-%202.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /> During

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Richard
and I were blessed to be invited to the beautiful life celebration for Judy at
the Harmony-Gold Studios theater, hosted by the Los Angeles Academy of Dramatic
Arts, where she taught theater, acting and directing to students for
decades.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hundreds of former students and
colleagues, friends and family gathered to honor her extraordinary life and
work…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tears flowed as a video portrait
played on screen, emotional tributes were given and former students acted in
scenes of plays she had directed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">I
met Judy in 1973 on the set of the television pilot movie, “Nightside” starring
John Cassavetes, Alexis Smith, written by the legendary columnist, Pete Hamill
and directed by Richard Donner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judy was
an actor’s actor. I wasn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wasn’t
even an actor, period.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the time, I
was working as an ‘agent in training’ for the then theatrical agency,
International Famous Agency (IFA) which morphed years later to ICM
Partners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After wrangling an early
payment for the producer, Bert Leonard, from the network, he asked me if I’d be
interested in being an extra in the show as a thank you. Thinking it would be a
fun way to spend a few hours, I jumped at the chance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who wouldn’t want to be in a scene with
Cassavetes? <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">The
”call” for the extras was at the crack of dawn, literally, on a below freezing
February morning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The shoot was in the
Landmark, an 1848 bar and grill in Manhattan at the time being remodeled for
the 20<sup>th</sup> Century and covered in a huge blackout tent so that the
interior would give the illusion it was night (hence the title “Nightside”). We
were ushered into the tavern and placed around the interior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judy (then Judy Fields), Morgan Fairchild
(then using her real name, Patsy) who were just starting out, had both been
hired as extras for the day, and the three of us were placed right in front of
the bar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The assistant director liked
our “hip, single girl look” and wanted us in the foreground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were given glasses filled with colored
liquid to resemble cocktails and told to just talk amongst ourselves as the
scene was being shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We did.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, as I mentioned, it was a below freezing
day and there was no heat as yet in the tavern. Consequently, you could see our
breath when we talked.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We figured out a
way that the camera wouldn’t pick up on that and spent the next fifteen hours
talking to each other and trying not to shiver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yes, fifteen hours!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In below freezing
temperatures!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With no coats! Cassavetes
wanted all the extras to look like we were just patrons in a cool bar, enjoying
friends and drinks. During our lunch and dinner breaks, we huddled together in
our winter coats as we continued to talk and eat our boxed catered meals. <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Why
fifteen hours?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The night before
Cassavetes had the producer fire Donner and took over as director.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And his vision was a meticulous one. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the end of this five-minute scene, the huge
gilt mirror hanging over the bar was to crash to the ground.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t remember why, but the lead up to the
crash was endless, since Cassavetes couldn’t crash the mirror ‘til he liked
what he shot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alexis Smith, the “owner
of the bar,” was a trouper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So were
Judy, Patsy and I.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s John Cassavetes
after all!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We three learned a great deal about each other
in those frigid hours and I came down with bronchial pneumonia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After the two-hour pilot was “in the can,” it
aired as movie-made-for-television, but was never picked-up as a series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Welcome to television. <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Both
girls (and we were girls, just in our twenties) were also pursuing commercial
work, as well as soap work, so I was able to get them meetings with the head of
IFA’s commercial department and both became clients of the agency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I lost contact with Patsy soon after, but
Judy and I became friends for life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
called me one of her "Leo girls" as two of her best friends were also
Leos.</span> <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I loved the circus. Went every year growing up and even ran
away to Ringling Bros. when it was at Madison Square Garden at age 11, so when
Phillipe Pettit moved to Manhattan and (Judy’s former boyfriend when she had
lived in Paris, if I'm remembering correctly), they reconnected and we
practically lived at the circus when it was in NYC after Phillipe became the
star of the Red Circus (or was it Blue - Ringling Bros. had two circuses which
traveled the country).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were in our
late twenties, single and free. And I loved going with her to see all the
glitter and to watch Phillipe perform - afterwards, he often took us out to
Maxwell’s Plum, his favorite eatery/bar in Manhattan and we'd drink (well, Judy
rarely drank anything but coke or a glass of champagne), eat, talk and laugh a
lot. It was after she had moved to LA and Phillipe was living in her apartment
in Chelsea that he wire-walked between the World Trade Center skyscrapers – at
the time the tallest buildings in the world. I was in LA to celebrate my 30<sup>th</sup>
birthday and was staying with Judy that day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We knew he was going to do it if the wind wasn't too bad. It <u>was</u>,
but he decided to do it anyway and we waited, holding our breath, until friends
called to say he made it (pre-internet days). <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phillipe finally left the circus, but Judy didn't stop going
‘til years later as she met a European circus teeterboard performer and they
became involved. Again, I would often go to the performances with her. It was a
magical time. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">But, before Judy moved to LA, she introduced me to Tom
Groenfeldt, who also became a lifelong friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>At the time he was a reporter for the Bergen Record in New Jersey, and
an amazing photographer who took many of Judy’s headshots, “fashion” and
“action” shots for her portfolio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
also took many pictures of me with Judy and me alone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judy and I called us the Three Musketeers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tom became our personal
photographer/documentarian.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He even took
my wedding pictures when Richard and I married years later.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Two of Tom’s amazing shots of Judy that were
included in the memorial pictorial film of her life were taken by him when the
three of us went on a mini-vacation to my mom’s home in Connecticut and the
lake nearby. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judy in my pink and blue Betsy
Johnson maxi elephant tee shirt dress and Judy in her bikini stretched out on
the lake dock.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Two more Tom photos -- Judy looking gorgeous washing her hair in the lake and the two of us at a Fifth Avenue street fair in Manhattan... </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN08IyQVt2n8ytcFetgIWVWHTBKSArKxZJvmvARa2_eWBCTvkc7OIjOTD8waI_z43HPVDRVK8eR_J4dPg1xQ7AaUoS8GGIMcfli9M63J9v0xSryXV9W8Tq_pCgRFEtg-NKKJwoASFfBU0tKwg_d9d-BI4CtQGSXW5ANifyv2pIM-KdqNs18XwcSr5-Tg/s4032/20220831_090943.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN08IyQVt2n8ytcFetgIWVWHTBKSArKxZJvmvARa2_eWBCTvkc7OIjOTD8waI_z43HPVDRVK8eR_J4dPg1xQ7AaUoS8GGIMcfli9M63J9v0xSryXV9W8Tq_pCgRFEtg-NKKJwoASFfBU0tKwg_d9d-BI4CtQGSXW5ANifyv2pIM-KdqNs18XwcSr5-Tg/s320/20220831_090943.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /> <br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWTQSdCPA1kT4DFyiqh3AUwAhCGk6TtWDIIGueMdArFpKkabm8juVQWcHWDfVh5ybQ74CNOzBK5TdRAZ1LRhC-yp6YfQ81nb5iXlfcXceOdTd2dUq9EuFtdPR1tE2c2xyXDpMDC3e6E4ENq4TFWDpyzCXBggn5QNm9kbJ3UBWRhrRTM2kebKl2JbMM8A/s1888/Ilona0005.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1491" data-original-width="1888" height="253" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWTQSdCPA1kT4DFyiqh3AUwAhCGk6TtWDIIGueMdArFpKkabm8juVQWcHWDfVh5ybQ74CNOzBK5TdRAZ1LRhC-yp6YfQ81nb5iXlfcXceOdTd2dUq9EuFtdPR1tE2c2xyXDpMDC3e6E4ENq4TFWDpyzCXBggn5QNm9kbJ3UBWRhrRTM2kebKl2JbMM8A/s320/Ilona0005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><p></p>

us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He and I even bonded even though I’m
a bit afraid of big dogs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One picture
Tom took of Baron and me shows how close I became with him that still surprises
many of my friends.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I loved him.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Judy
embraced Richard with open arms when he came into my life in 1978 and hosted an
engagement party for us in her cozy garden apartment in Chelsea after we
finally made up our minds to get married after five years living together.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She made her beef stroganoff for the forty or
so people who happily crowded in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
even invited my mom who came down from Connecticut. While she was still in NY,
I often picked out clothes for her auditions and cut her hair and then cut her
hair again at times after we moved to LA for Richard’s and my television
careers. <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">We
spent years supporting each other - laughing and crying together - dining with
each other, going to movies, theater and just hanging out – it was an “in
sickness and in health” forever friendship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She was an incredible actor and I managed her for a few years,
introduced her to various producers I knew from my years at IFA when she first
hit Los Angeles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She directed one of
Richard’s plays at the Colony Theater starring her dear friend, Art Tedesco,
and supported Richard’s work always.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
loved the way he writes and went to his readings and helped cast them with
actor friends she thought would do justice to his characters. <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">We,
of course, never missed her fabulous Christmas parties, and she only missed
ours when she was in Kentucky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She never
missed, however, our big Oscar parties or birthday parties.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And often came to dinner – just the three of
us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She tried to get me to audition for
commercials to no avail, but loved it when I was on-camera as a guest designer
for HGTV.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She supported and loved the
mystery books I wrote even though it wasn’t a favorite genre.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">When
we moved to Ojai ten years ago, we didn’t get to see each other very often and
I’m forever sad that I didn’t visit her in her new home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She’d visit us when she was nearby at a dog
show and came up for big parties we hosted here.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As she became more ill, she would tell me
over the phone or via email that all was going well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She protected me from the pain she was in and
I love her for that, but am so sorry I wasn’t there for her when she needed
me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last time we talked just after
her 78<sup>th</sup> birthday and just before mine (we were only a month apart
in age) she excitedly told me about her trip to Europe, the plans she made and
the places she was going to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She lived
life to its fullest until the end and she did it her way. <br /></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span class="gvxzyvdx"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">I
love you Judy Bohannon and will miss you always. </span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It’s that time of year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Foliage and football.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cold, crisp air that visualizes your breath
(well, on those fall/winter days when it’s not 100 degrees in Ojai).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soup and stew weather.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Carved pumpkins and pumpkin pie.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, how can we forget bangers & mash?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Huh?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This time of year, I often flashback to a trip to
London just before Thanksgiving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being a
60’s kid, that’s not all I flashback to, but I digress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was cold and damp in London (or is that
redundant?) and, after spending a day shopping on Portobello Road, I needed to
warm up, so I wandered into a pub (a genuine British pub – not today’s trendy gastro
pub, but a “pub grub” pub).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sitting by a
roaring fire, sipping ale, a waitress whizzed by carrying a plate covered with
appetizing sausages, a huge mound of fluffy mashed potatoes and something green.
When she came for my order, I pointed to a woman now ravishing those sausages
and said, “I’ll have what she’s having.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Soon, I, too, was savoring sausages that tasted like nothing I’d ever
had before.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They certainly weren’t Jimmy
Dean’s… or wieners or knockwurst or bratwurst, oh my.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, being a fledgling foodie at the time, I asked
my waitress, who cheerfully answered: “Bangers!” OK.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>New to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>But, ever the diligent researcher, I soon discovered that the term
bangers goes back as early as WWI, when meat shortages forced folks to use more
water than meat as filler when making sausages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This made them pop when heated, thus, “Bang.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Traditionally they are served with mashed
potatoes, onion gravy, fried onions and peas (the something green). I feel ever
so British when I have them, eh wot?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The dish has become my cold weather comfort food, but
where does one find bangers in California’s sunny Ojai valley? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Westridge ho, the wagons!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, in my case, my hybrid SUV.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, lo and behold, right there in the
midtown store among the display of freshly made sausages in the meat section,
ready to be tossed into a pan and live up to their name… bangers!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Timing is everything as Max Badger, the market’s
young sausage maker, told me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He rotates
the sausages he makes each day, but did assure me he’d make bangers to order. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His entire sausage display is very impressive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Among the choices that day: traditional
Italian sausages, pork or chicken with garlic & basil, Bratwurst made with
Guiness stout, Andouille Cajun and, during the holidays, Max told me, he’ll
create some French apple, cranberry sausages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Stuffing, anyone?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Of course I bought his bangers as fast as he made them for me. <br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Bangers & mash for dinner. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never</i> have to leave Ojai. Good thing I
belong to a gym!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I'm sure y'all have a Westridge market with a creative butcher in your own town.

oil for sauteing<br />
1 cup white onions, chopped<br />
Sherry to deglaze<br />
1 clove garlic, minced<br />
3/4 cup low salt Chicken broth (or Chicken stock)<br />
1/2 cup whole milk</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: 8.0pt; mso-margin-top-alt: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Flour
for thickening<br />
<br />
Heat a large skillet. When hot, add the Olive oil and swirl. Add the bangers
and cook through on all sides until done – about 10-15 minutes. Remove them to
a plate and place a loose, aluminum foil tent over them. With the pan still
hot, add the onions and cook them until browned, occasionally deglazing with a
little sherry. When the onions are almost done, add the garlic and continue to
cook for 1 minute. Add the Chicken broth (or stock), milk, and combine well.
Sprinkle in small amounts of flour, until the gravy thickens. If it gets too
thick, thin with more milk or chicken stock.</span></p>

CHEESBURGER…”</p>
<p align="center" style="text-align: center;"> </p><p>… “Pepsi… Pepsi… Pepsi.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So yelled Greek
immigrant Pete Dionasopoulos (played by John Belushi on “SNL”) to the
short-order cook in TV’s fictional greasy spoon, The Olympia Café.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Only three things were really on the menu at
Olympia – “cheeburger” (as Pete pronounced it), Pepsi and chips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Heaven forbid you ordered a Coke, never mind
French fries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I related!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doesn’t matter to me, Pepsi or Coke – you can
hold the fries… the only thing I want is the cheeseburger.</p>
<p>I was about seven when I ate my first cheeseburger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was summer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My family and I were vacationing at my Great
Auntie Fanny’s camp (what New Englanders often call their summer houses) on
Lake Boone in Massachusetts when, as the sun went down, my dad packed us into
our Ford sedan and drove us to a popular burger shack for dinner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He ordered cheeseburgers all around and, as I
sat on an outdoor picnic bench and took my first bite, a glorious church-like choir
sang rapturously in my head. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A taste
revelation! I was in food heaven, enhanced by the fireflies lighting up the night
sky like votives in a darkened church.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span> <br /></p>
<p>Whoever dreamed up the combo of melted American cheese on top of grilled
ground beef stuffed into a white bun was a food god. To recreate that magical
culinary moment, I’ve been searching the world for that perfect cheeseburger ever
since. (Fast food cheeseburgers don’t cut it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not even In-N-Out.) <br /></p>
<p>My quest didn’t end when I moved to Ojai – and though I still have not
recreated that nirvana cheeseburger experience of my youth, here are a few of
my favorites in our valley in no particular order. <br /></p>
<p>The Deer Lodge on Maricopa Highway started as a gas station/grocery in 1932
serving weary travelers, but eventually morphed into the iconic Ojai tavern it
is today. Try the Lodge Burger made with 6 ounces of ground beef, homemade
bacon jam, cheddar cheese, golden garlic aioli, and greens on a whole wheat bun
(we’ve come a long way from ketchup, mustard, relish or mayo<i> accoutrements</i>).
Then there’s the delicious Buffalo Burger – 6 ounces of ground buffalo meat,
the homemade bacon jam, muenster cheese, chipotle aioli and greens on a pretzel
bun.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_Ca7oHWm0Y-vhoh6_eXJ8q9JOhHrQTGIeFvHkdBevJovWEYYzuC8bNKqgpWyFU3Y4n6rTP_27pkPuLvuCjHKHCdcF-jLZ-SyXyNI6a4ZyUQmkkdPEb63hQRwjZcZuVPmKmMmUO8XpYVhqC9hC3SQKWMS1slzO1YOXKVkarOhIE-OpPqo-UlR2-Mlpw/s1632/20160812_085839_resized_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1224" data-original-width="1632" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4_Ca7oHWm0Y-vhoh6_eXJ8q9JOhHrQTGIeFvHkdBevJovWEYYzuC8bNKqgpWyFU3Y4n6rTP_27pkPuLvuCjHKHCdcF-jLZ-SyXyNI6a4ZyUQmkkdPEb63hQRwjZcZuVPmKmMmUO8XpYVhqC9hC3SQKWMS1slzO1YOXKVkarOhIE-OpPqo-UlR2-Mlpw/s320/20160812_085839_resized_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> For a great cheeseburger with a view to match, you can’t beat Jimmy’s Pub overlooking
a rolling golf green at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Made with Angus beef, it’s topped with melty
Marin brie, bacon-onion marmalade and arugula, served on a brioche bun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because the beef and cheese are the “thing,”
I often have the “sauces” and greens served separately so the tastes don’t
conflict with the actual “cheeseburger” part. But, the Deer Lodge’s bacon jam
and Jimmy’s bacon-onion marmalade are delish improvements over ketchup.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really, it’s got bacon!!!<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhduvMZpLuPr5ZxmM4Dpz-maYAUebobn1cPh-aJ6DK-l5kyrEukWdp6N60KBOuD3RCXO2JdxSjsfRjXUh11VgtoHBA_5rK08uZ1G3Qpd9QgFgzLlwu2sRJDMszxQD7WFvYKR69MtL9KehSRza2U6PSIJXW7A73PWJBtzCc2DdDFO5X4QpHUfHTQ9WjAhA/s4032/Jimmy's%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhduvMZpLuPr5ZxmM4Dpz-maYAUebobn1cPh-aJ6DK-l5kyrEukWdp6N60KBOuD3RCXO2JdxSjsfRjXUh11VgtoHBA_5rK08uZ1G3Qpd9QgFgzLlwu2sRJDMszxQD7WFvYKR69MtL9KehSRza2U6PSIJXW7A73PWJBtzCc2DdDFO5X4QpHUfHTQ9WjAhA/s320/Jimmy's%204.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>
<p> The Ojai Beverage Company (OBC to its friends) on E. Ojai Ave, offers
cheeseburgers from the classic to the exotic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Classic is topped with melty cheddar, spring mix greens, tomato with
1000 island dressing on a brioche.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One
of its more exotic choices is Cow On Stilts, a burger smothered in blue cheese,
fried jalapenos, bourbon bacon jam (another twist on the popular bacon jam) and
mixed greens on a waypoint bun. For the non-beef eaters, OBC offers a free-range
white turkey cheeseburger on a waypoint bun with pepper jack cheese, greens,
tomato, onion, avocado, brown mustard and a pesto aioli.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What’s a waypoint bun?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had to look it up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a celery root-and-sesame seed bun that
sounds healthy, and perhaps it is, but, seriously, we’re talking cheeseburgers
here.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9n3Zg1fcKG2u3ryA8bCje0J3oMNP7CSKK0W5zsfsmTvwvbsusf9RJXhZaWUqPcdyJalQZuSg5q0PlMaJG5fEKVMCEP1MmXG_N4i8ssROK-kVSD1CdNqPBWXcTX02LKNg_8txbVBZA7DxodBK59YaKfhy-M8P-h2LssYOx3BiqT2hQK6xQLCBFpWhDQ/s1632/OJAI%20BEVERAGE%20-%20blackboard%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1224" data-original-width="1632" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx9n3Zg1fcKG2u3ryA8bCje0J3oMNP7CSKK0W5zsfsmTvwvbsusf9RJXhZaWUqPcdyJalQZuSg5q0PlMaJG5fEKVMCEP1MmXG_N4i8ssROK-kVSD1CdNqPBWXcTX02LKNg_8txbVBZA7DxodBK59YaKfhy-M8P-h2LssYOx3BiqT2hQK6xQLCBFpWhDQ/s320/OJAI%20BEVERAGE%20-%20blackboard%203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p>
<p> Ojai Pub, also on E. Ojai Ave., is the new “burger kid” on the block
featuring “California comfort” food. Comfort food + a pub = cheeseburgers,
starting with a Classic Burger made of beef or an “impossible patty” (translation:
vegan patty), the house’s secret sauce, cheddar cheese (or vegan cheese),
lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onion on a brioche bun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, on the menu is the Rancho Burger with
either patty, salsa macha (peanut butter salsa), cheddar (or vegan cheese),
crispy onions, tomato, roasted bell peppers, jalapenos, and chipotle aioli on a
brioche bun.</p>

<p>The closest cheeseburger experience to the one I had as a child is at the
Summit Drive-In, a burger stand in Upper Ojai on Hwy 150 where you order at the
window as my dad had done all those years ago. Take a seat at an outside picnic
table and just enjoy the flavors of the Summit’s Classic Burger with melted
American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and secret sauce on a sesame seed
bun. For a non-classic culinary experience try the Western Burger covered with
melting cheddar cheese, bacon, BBQ sauce, and an onion ring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or bite into the juicy Red, White & Blue
with grilled onions, blue cheese, lettuce, tomato, and secret sauce. Also on
the menu is the Firehouse #20 melty pepper jack cheeseburger, with chipotle
mayo, jalepenos, bacon, lettuce and tomato.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And, yes, this burger shack even has a Vegetarian Summit Burger which
includes lettuce, tomato, pickles, secret sauce, and <i>cheese</i>! served on a
sesame bun.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only thing missing were
the fireflies in a night sky.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje24v3_KLw7pPeAqnAzH2qoE_g8n0nL6KfitayXQ2PF2nH36vOJOyXmhfB6UWTtTuQttS-EZky90iGC-CZGfqNyLWFxKkOzvzwK8J644lOtwzAL_J6eJr5C5uST1xFA8I6MSrKs-63CHbBeXVcVhrjsO6hcSdoroQFKfHundQEj7O4GCjRj2mXK8I6cg/s2448/SUMMIT%20-%20line%20to%20order.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="2448" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje24v3_KLw7pPeAqnAzH2qoE_g8n0nL6KfitayXQ2PF2nH36vOJOyXmhfB6UWTtTuQttS-EZky90iGC-CZGfqNyLWFxKkOzvzwK8J644lOtwzAL_J6eJr5C5uST1xFA8I6MSrKs-63CHbBeXVcVhrjsO6hcSdoroQFKfHundQEj7O4GCjRj2mXK8I6cg/s320/SUMMIT%20-%20line%20to%20order.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4CtYoNj5WWGF9axql5A7eS1evF1cMNt8DXhuSiJxn6mMimv_YhJyTug_4Slvx3yfbn-BUzCeuMYmssCjoZUPl0d17uKP_L2U8WhifpA-VCg-mqkOIppaApe4uLWbnIDItjtJFEJa7JBnAyRhX4zkp9mXA0khrhSBe1mNCV4qgy47ryw7JnO09KDWf9g/s2448/SUMMIT%20-%20sign%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="2448" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4CtYoNj5WWGF9axql5A7eS1evF1cMNt8DXhuSiJxn6mMimv_YhJyTug_4Slvx3yfbn-BUzCeuMYmssCjoZUPl0d17uKP_L2U8WhifpA-VCg-mqkOIppaApe4uLWbnIDItjtJFEJa7JBnAyRhX4zkp9mXA0khrhSBe1mNCV4qgy47ryw7JnO09KDWf9g/s320/SUMMIT%20-%20sign%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p> Another classic cheeseburger favorite is at Jim & Rob’s (W.

Covid! Covid! How everyone's lives have changed since the onset of the pandemic. We are so fortunate that all our friends have been vaccinated and we've been able to see them in small groups inside and larger groups outside. Like most people, we've stayed close to home, but our desire to leave our pretty valley has magnified. Hell, we were stir crazy... and then, like manna from heaven, came an invitation from dear friends, Candace and Craig Anderson to venture north to Arroyo Grande for a sleepover in their beautiful 'home away from home'. Before we finished texting 'yes,' we were packing an overnight bag.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Much like Ojai, Arroyo Grande is a rural town surrounded by orchards and ranches and vineyards. Fabulous vineyards, I might add and I've written about many of them. Yet, still close to larger towns and a stone's throw from the Pacific.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtFsKxd7BzbloX-9_N2wdvjIk9BdSTime5jwhQiatKX-ctqqmvvNruCPnhuZjCrsXsixhdKVrSEoEjhBvdKC0hTxX6VoPI4xvevPHKQjAeSRE2yv3HJRAYiUusPN8ayBRuWnbs5ADydy_s/s2543/20210710_162815.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1236" data-original-width="2543" height="156" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtFsKxd7BzbloX-9_N2wdvjIk9BdSTime5jwhQiatKX-ctqqmvvNruCPnhuZjCrsXsixhdKVrSEoEjhBvdKC0hTxX6VoPI4xvevPHKQjAeSRE2yv3HJRAYiUusPN8ayBRuWnbs5ADydy_s/s320/20210710_162815.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;">As we traveled north on the 101 with a shortcut detour through beautiful Santa Ynez and a lunch stop at The Wine Merchant (our favorite watering hole in the darling town of Los Olivos), we arrived at Candace & Craig's around 2-ish.

Richard's career took off as did his culinary skills. He won an Emmy and was nominated for more AND became our 'chef in residence' when we entertained - I made "pretty" and did clean-up. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">As we got older, his cooking prowess grew, but, sadly, so did my waistline. My dress size went from 4-6 to 8 to 10 to 12 (I had 3 sets of jeans - from thin to 'menopause-aly plump'... you get the picture. I was not a happy camper. I went on Fen Fen (remember Fen Fen?) and returned, if not to my "model/dancing" weight, close to it. I bought clothes again. Looked and felt great... but Richard had discovered these wonderful pasta recipes, learned to make bread, as well as rich, creamy sauces. It was then I started this blog shortly before we went to Europe in 2001 right after 9/11. He was writing and producing a series of show for the Food Network about the best chefs, foods and wines in Europe (I tagged along and ended up doing set design and various other little jobs to "pay my way"). See my "Five Guys & Me" series written in 2001-2002.<br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Well, as you've probably guessed, I began to gain back the weight. (Yeh, it's all Richard's fault - not the cheeseburgers, french fries, hot dogs, pizza, as well as Richard's meals I wolfed down.) Then a couple of years ago, I discovered NuAtkins which morphed into Keto, and I lost most of the weight. As a meat, chicken and fish lover, not to mention a cheese-aholic, this was the perfect diet for me and Richard was happy to oblige. I haven't lost all the weight I want to (do we ever?), and this pandemic isn't helping, as I 'graze' a lot during the day, but I've maintained, pretty much, with a little cheating now because Richard has been making amazing NuAtkins/Keto meals. He hates cleaning up and doing dishes, I don't mind - so as we've sheltered in place this past year, he's made most all of our dinners. </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are some of my favorite of his "eat fat to lose fat" low carb suppers.</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">I'll start with bangers and cauliflower mash w/ a side of broccoli...</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Sheltering in place has been challenging, especially for the families I know with children who needed to be schooled online as they worked from home. For Richard and me, it was less stressful. Though Richard was in the middle of co-directing a revival production of "Harvey" with Broadway director/producer, Craig Anderson, that was a week away from opening when theaters doors were closed, we are basically writers. Translation, we are used to 'sheltering in place,' writing days, weeks, even months on end - hunkered at home. Of course, as you know by now, we do entertain a lot, but we've managed to entertain ourselves with explorations into a cocktail world (which I've blogged about earlier in this Pandemic Diary) and Richard has been challenging himself in the kitchen as he's become our "chef in chief" - many of his meals I've also blogged about. We also walk/hike and he plays tennis and golfs, so exercise and fresh air are not absent.<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Wanting to support our local restaurants, we did have a few dinners out during 2020 when outside dining was open, and I had lunches with girlfriends (one at a time, of course) at some of our favorite Ojai watering holes... but, outside dining was shutdown again at the end of 2020, and, since we're not normally big New Year's Eve celebrants, we planned an intimate dinner at home.

But, everyone - and I mean everyone - came. I had actually only met about five or six of our guests, but the evening was a great success - everything Richard made (I've blogged about our Ojai parties, as well) was devoured, from his poached salmon appetizer to his shrimp, cream concoction, as well as the cheese platters, pates and spreads.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Over the almost three decades of Studio City Christmas Eve parties at our house, we also spent every Christmas day at dear friends, Candace and Craig Anderson (who always came to our party). Like us, they love Christmas and fill their house with gorgeous decorations. We'd start the day with frozen cosmos, wines, appetizers, and gift giving, culminating with a perfect rib roast Christmas dinner for us, their beautiful twin daughters, Katie and Liza, and a few of their friends (who became our friends) and kids. A sit-down dinner for almost 20. <i>Tradition</i>.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4k259fPHahKru-CfaCJfLiJnfFPkTbCB1ZrthtbZm0aPRVU8vPdOn-gMy9xjhLdKug7c6OTnghwcTk9E5tAUbNv9mWrqxdfN-ERtK5KZJBUY-_fLpSTK-lIkhesTn39RwXuj7ElBrnGu/s2048/20181225_165910.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga4k259fPHahKru-CfaCJfLiJnfFPkTbCB1ZrthtbZm0aPRVU8vPdOn-gMy9xjhLdKug7c6OTnghwcTk9E5tAUbNv9mWrqxdfN-ERtK5KZJBUY-_fLpSTK-lIkhesTn39RwXuj7ElBrnGu/s320/20181225_165910.jpg" /></a></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> After moving to Ojai, we continued to drive down to L.A. on Christmas Day to be embraced by the warmth of their family and friends -- that is, until this year.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Many of you know that Richard has become the main cook (well, chef, really) in our house during this pandemic.

(Well, to be honest, Ojai isn't Syracuse. We don't get eight feet of snow, nor below freezing temps and most of our restaurants have outdoor heaters, but I digress...) This inability is at least for those who take to heart that this is a <i>pandemic</i> and don't live in a town with fewer than ten citizens. After nine months, give or take, my gestating need to be out with friends has given birth to wanting to know <i>at 6 a.m.</i> what dinner Richard's planning to make for dinner each night .... a pandemic habit that's beginning to annoy him. In my defense, I <i>am</i> a paid food writer and need food writing fixes, AND since I can't be out and about doing my food writing thing, I need something to look forward to each day besides weighing myself everyday and seeing that I still have not lost the six pounds I've gained while sheltering in place. </span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">AND, <i>sigh, </i>Thanksgiving is fast-approaching AND large family gatherings would be Covid spreaders, so no larger gathering for us... Hopefully, many of you can do small, in-house dinners with immediate family or share Zoom celebrations with a larger number of friends and family. But, since we've been sequestered, Richard hasn't roasted any turkeys for me to write about. However, you've heard the expression, chicken in every pot, right? So, if you're making a small Thanksgiving dinner and don't want to go afowl (pun intended) of the day's poultry tradition, here are some of my favorite Richard "cooking in place while sheltering in place" chicken dinners.</span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Joanna Gaines' chicken Florentine... </span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /></span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiliaESCKPcD5JHrvndBH5HgivBpryyjvnFw2OZcVIwqLNGzbmKFdvjgE8lVvb6S4ZW3U8HUxylxNe6hvSQNtcUqv1YZlluWvOfRxdPI8acFYAznISd6wsMgdJ_E95Hxvl5JCIubylMuiVA/s2048/CHICKEN+FLORENTINE+-+Joanna++Gaines.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiliaESCKPcD5JHrvndBH5HgivBpryyjvnFw2OZcVIwqLNGzbmKFdvjgE8lVvb6S4ZW3U8HUxylxNe6hvSQNtcUqv1YZlluWvOfRxdPI8acFYAznISd6wsMgdJ_E95Hxvl5JCIubylMuiVA/s320/CHICKEN+FLORENTINE+-+Joanna++Gaines.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcNxGd_odzf7QPLFxmSyFFluTTD6US77BWUdkuoMHg6vt3KIwcgCSGSA95gdLQVAj0ULRT5MRvcj-LgM_-sn7zDtTELb0sjMYWhNejo3D7G9WCLmXIulcvoTEJVKlXtaZPY3WVa8Sis1M/s2048/CHICKEN+FLORENTINE+-+Joanna+Gaines+-+plated.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxcNxGd_odzf7QPLFxmSyFFluTTD6US77BWUdkuoMHg6vt3KIwcgCSGSA95gdLQVAj0ULRT5MRvcj-LgM_-sn7zDtTELb0sjMYWhNejo3D7G9WCLmXIulcvoTEJVKlXtaZPY3WVa8Sis1M/s320/CHICKEN+FLORENTINE+-+Joanna+Gaines+-+plated.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Boneless, skinless chicken breast in a creamy fresh</span> tarragon sauce... <br /></span></div><div class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbGjBrPMKF4JT1h5Z2cgZLD0no49I9W6vW25aeZzO5vOMdqou_4fB4l2DKglCnMKLldFgxzZFiNPqGnnG9MNJ0IMqo7_6lzI5WUCBDnSaIq0Q7nh2v93PvPu4pyQkE0PzkQBNwR9A2qU6p/s2048/CHICKEN+%2526+tarragon+sauce+which+was+really+a+fennel+sauce.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbGjBrPMKF4JT1h5Z2cgZLD0no49I9W6vW25aeZzO5vOMdqou_4fB4l2DKglCnMKLldFgxzZFiNPqGnnG9MNJ0IMqo7_6lzI5WUCBDnSaIq0Q7nh2v93PvPu4pyQkE0PzkQBNwR9A2qU6p/s320/CHICKEN+%2526+tarragon+sauce+which+was+really+a+fennel+sauce.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Chicken corden bleu...<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivtJR65bAdejifMXCciCL4q12_hjQUuvJGe4aJ-z9ile19X7w0dWsAAomWllHJZFxstqHChB2u3njMz8ig7QPC9zE73epZjw5-eyCa4PMphlEA9fnCceeiIZbk5EZ6o0pOKQXC0oEi-ClP/s2048/CHICKEN+CORDON+BLEU.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivtJR65bAdejifMXCciCL4q12_hjQUuvJGe4aJ-z9ile19X7w0dWsAAomWllHJZFxstqHChB2u3njMz8ig7QPC9zE73epZjw5-eyCa4PMphlEA9fnCceeiIZbk5EZ6o0pOKQXC0oEi-ClP/s320/CHICKEN+CORDON+BLEU.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">MY chicken parm...

Very old and gray. I haven't been to the gym in 8 months, tho I do hike three mornings a week (well, "hike" is an exaggeration - "walk" is more like it), but still, 5 pounds (some days 6) seems to have been added to my scale. Not a happy camper. It's back to strict Keto (the trendy new way to describe old NuAtkins).</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><span><span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">Being on a Keto/NuAtkins diet is not a hardship for me. I can't eat much fruit, so those sugar carbs are not something I worry about. And, I'm really not a dessert lover... well, except those "homemade" Pillsbury frozen chocolate chip cookies that come in a cookie dough roll you find in the refrigerator section in the supermarket, then slice and bake... or McConnell's peppermint ice cream with those delicious little chunks of pink peppermint candies laced throughout that remind me of Howard Johnson's peppermint stick ice cream I loved as a child. My problem is the starchy carbs. Bread, pasta, mashed potatoes... you get my drift. I love sandwiches and cheeseburgers in buns, and pastas of all shapes and sizes... and nothing is more comforting than a huge helping of mashed potatoes, and don't even get me started on salt-based snacks like Ruffles, pretzels, and Cheez-Its... OK - it IS kind of a hardship.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> But, if I keep my "bad" carb intake below 20 grams, the weight comes flying off. Thankfully, white wine has few carbs (and I get a fruit intake) and vodka has none. Martinis for dinner!!! So, yes, I'm back of Keto/NuAtkins.</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> The reason why I actually like this diet and why I can stay with it pretty much is that I love protein, be it meat, chicken, fish, eggs or cheese... I'm a confessed cheeseaholic you might remember. If I had to give up cheese, life wouldn't be worth living, thank you very much. And, I love salads and veggies - all veggies (well, with the possible exception of okra). <br /></span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">Because Richard's been cooking dinners most nights, I have quite a few favorite Keto/NuAtkins fish dinners:</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;">Always top of my "fish for dinner" list is golden bass sauteed in butter, garlic, capers and fresh lemon juice ...</span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"> </span></span></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: times;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<b>PANDEMIC DIARY</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>How I Spent My Sequester - Pt. 4</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PASTA!!!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In my last pandemic diary entry I told you how I've thankfully gained only five pounds with all the cocktails, wine and amazing dinners Richard has made - and I probably wouldn't have even gained that if it wasn't for the outrageously good pasta dinners he's made between his low carb feasts.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then the other night I woke up w/ the full moon shining through the bedroom window hearing a trolley clanging in my head and singing "Rice A Roni, the San Francisco Treat" over and over in my half-asleep brain, a commercial I remembered as a kid. As far as I recall, my mother never actually made Rice A Roni, and back then I'd never been to San Francisco, but the jingle was catchy and since one couldn't mute commercials in those ancient TV days or DVR shows in advance so you could fast-forward them, I was a captive audience. I couldn't get rice out of my brain (and I'm not a big lover of rice) - but, I had to have some pasta and there just happened to be leftover orzo in the fridge. The sun hadn't risen when I found myself in the kitchen microwaving the leftover orzo and wolfing it down in a frenzy like an addict shooting up a dose of heroin. The craving was satisfied. And, like an addict, I went into a hazy euphoria trance when I finished my little cup of orzo. Not a good look. Carbs! White carbs! I had just fallen off the wagon.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Confession: I hate to say that I'm on the Keto diet - it sounds so tres trendy (and really is just basically the NuAtkins diet w/ a hipster name) - but that is how I've been eating for over a year - losing 20 pounds and mostly maintaining. It's not that I don't have bread (I'm a sandwich junkie, so yeh!) - I just don't have it often... WELL, unless someone drops off homemade sourdough (which happens now and again and I <i>cannot </i>resist) or Richard bakes his no knead bread (ditto the sourdough parenthesis) ... AND, it's not that I don't have a baked potato now and again - when I make one for Richard, it's usually a huge one and I indulge by cutting off an end then loading it up with butter and salt... or I've been known to have a bit of mashed potatoes. But, when I do have a major craving for mashed potatoes and know I'd eat a bowl full if Richard makes it - he keeps me on track and makes mashed cauliflower, a pretty good substitute (and you must try mac & cheese made w/ cauliflower instead of macaroni - to die for) - but I digress... we're talking about pasta, and if you put a plate or bowl of pasta in front of me, I'm a goner, especially when Richard makes one of his delicious concoctions.</div>

Now if only I could get that Rice A Roni jingle out of my head so I can next write about all the marvelous low carb meals we've been feasting on since we've been sequestered.<br />
<br />
During this 'stay at home' period, some people have repainted rooms and rearranged furniture - others are cleaning out their closets or garages - folks are taking online aerobic or yoga classes - others are binge watching television series (well, have to admit we're doing that, too) and many others are engaged in video home schooling of their kids or conducting their businesses online...<br />
<br />
We write - we read - we watch TV.... AND I get to eat at the only indoor fine-dining restaurant for two in town.<br />
<br />
Bon appetit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br />

To Keto or not to Keto, that is the question?</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Backstory - since the sequester, I've hiked (well, as I've mentioned before - "hike" is a 'loose' definition of what I do on most mornings).. after which, I'm hunched over my computer for hours "talking" to friends and bitching on Facebook, scrolling thru Twitter and Instagram... BUT, I've also started the sequel to my political thriller "Freeze Frame" (www.ilonasaari.com), written articles for the Ojai Quarterly and Ojai Monthly glossy magazines, binged on television series and gained 5 pounds (one lb + ounces for every month) so far! It's all Richard's cooking's fault. Hey, my blog isn't called "My Dinners With Richard" for nothing - and I've never claimed to have any will power when it comes to food (I am a food lover/writer, after all)... Here's a taste as to how these 5 pounds set up camp in my body.</div>

When left to my own devices, I start the day off most mornings with an egg or some cheese or a handful of almonds or a slice of meat - maybe an avocado - for breakfast - but on weekends, Richard often makes us breakfast/brunch... there goes the ketosis. </div>

To Keto -<br />
<br />
Sometimes it's an omelet or scrambled eggs<br />

As the summer gets hotter but thankfully with 'dry heat' here in Ojai, my girlfriend and I still meet to hike-walk a few mornings each week. The bike trail or on sidewalks in the town's tony neighborhoods are our most frequent early morning walks, but during this pandemic time when we all need a bit of spirituality, even those who are not particularly spiritual, the Krotona center overlooking the Ojai Valley, has become a special morning walk.<br />
<br />
Ojai, famous for its new age-y vibe and Krishnamurti's home and spiritual center, recently reported UFO sightings by residents during 2020's harmonic conversion<b> </b>celebration. Friday, the Ojai Valley News, our local paper, ran a story on the front page, "above the fold," the headline of which was "Mass meditation held to summon ET to Ojai." What a town! Probably why Frank Capra filmed exteriors for his "Lost Horizon" Shangri-La movie here in Ojai. So you can see why the most 'jaded' among us might seek out a walk-hike in a place filled with spirituality during this period of isolation.</div>
<br />
<br />
Krotona is just one of several spiritual venues that include Meditation Mount, which overlooks the Valley from another POV with its beautiful gardens, yoga classes and other sessions. I'll save that one for another blog. Here are some highlights from the Krotona website:<br />
<br />
"Krotona is an international center where residents aspire to live in
mutual helpfulness while reaching out to share the profound truths of
Theosophy. These truths can change one’s direction of life, bringing
about renewal and harmony. With an emphasis on meditation, earnest
study, and inspired action, Krotona promotes worldwide healing through
the uplifting of human consciousness."<br />
<br />
"As a spiritual center, Krotona seeks to inspire and strengthen
aspirants for the opportunities of daily life. The peacefulness of the
estate, which also serves as a sanctuary for wildlife, reflects the
ideals of the resident TS members as well as the aspirations of
committed faculty, students and other friends."<br />
<br />
Besides, it's really a pretty place to hike-walk.<br />

The estate also has two rose gardens, a library, meeting rooms, and rooms to rent for short stays as well as the many permanent homes.<br />
<br />
I can't say I find a feeling of nirvana walking there, but it is pretty and lifts my sequester spirits.<br />

So, after eleven months, I had scheduled a mani-pedi for today, but - alas - my governor re-shutdown hair and nail salons, gyms, etc. yesterday because of the surging cases of Covid in California. I shaved my legs for nothing. But not to worry - no "woe is me" necessary as I live in the beautiful, rural valley of Ojai (Shangri-La or Oz to many residents) an artistic, mystical, spiritual, farming community an hour and a half north of LA, with residents ranging from farmers and winemakers to shopkeepers, writers, actors, directors, painters, sculptors, spiritualists, even movie stars. (How's that for a run-on description?)<br />
<br />
Ojai is a unique valley and village which hosts a world famous classical music festival, the oldest amateur tennis competition in America... has an international film festival, a thriving theater community, and one the country's most sought-after resorts, an inn and spa with a PGA world-class golf course boasting breathtaking views. Not to mention, Ojai is famous for its "pink moments" when the sun is setting and turns the Topa Topa mountains a gorgeous pale pink. That spectacularly peaceful visage brought Krishnamurti to Ojai decades ago, along with Beatrice Wood, the mother of the Dada art movement. <br />
<br />
But, like everywhere else in America that has a governor and a mayor with good sense, most all of the above activities have come to a halt once again. But, we have trails and retreats where we can get outside and hike, or in my case hike-walk (hey, getting old with arthritis isn't always pretty), so today I'm focusing on my bike trail hike-walks that I've been doing with a friend (yes, we mask) during our sequester.<br />
<br />
Our most frequent hike-walks is on the eleven mile bike trail from Ojai to the Pacific Ocean beaches of Ventura. The trail used to be train track route for Ojai farmers to get their produce to market.<br />
<br />
The part of the trail we hike-walk the most: <br />

One of the most beautiful places in America to take a hike... so, we walk the walk while we talk the talk thru our masks. Trail along with me as we leave the bike trail and head out to the Ojai nature conservancy and the Krotona spiritual retreat in my next blogs.<br />
<br />
Y'all stay safe. Wash your hands often. Wear a mask in public. Don't drink bleach. <br />

PANDEMIC DIARY<br />
How I Spent My Sequester<br />
Part 1</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With all the negatives of sequestering, I have one positive. Richard's doing all the dinner cooking (I didn't name my blog "My Dinners With Richard & Other Musings" for nothing).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At some point I'll muse about other things, but right now I'll focus on the food I've been eating and cocktails I've been drinking (and so far, weeks into the 2020 Pandemic, I've gained only two pounds... and I did NOTHING to the bathroom scale... nothing!) </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We've been starting our evenings with a cocktail - When we have one in a restaurant, it's a vodka martini (hold the vermouth) for me and single malt for Richard. Normally we're not mixed-drink cocktail people, but hey, we're not going anywhere and neither is the liquor, so why not? Especially after I dragged out from our cookbook closet/pantry an old (30's/40's) wooden cocktail recipe book and a 'drinks' pamphlet from the forties that I had inherited from my parents - We looked at the whiskeys in our drinks cupboard and shook up a new drink each night. We hit new shaker heights!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/2 teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/4 teaspoon pepper</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Four 4-oz boneless, lean center-cut pork chops</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1 apple peeled, cored and sliced</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 tablespoons maple syrup</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1/3 - 1/2 cup bourbon</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<u>Directions: </u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Spray a large nonstick skillet w/ nonstick cooking spray; heat. On a large sheet of wax paper, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Dredge the pork chops in the flour mix on all sides, then saute until browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate/platter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<u></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Spray the skillet w/ more nonstick cooking spray; cook the apple, stirring frequently, until lightly browned and slightly softened. About 2 minutes. Transfer to the plate/platter with the pork chops.</div>

<br />
<u></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Pour the maple syrup into the skillet, then add 1/3 cup of bourbon; stir to combine thoroughly. Return the pork chops and apple to the skillet; reduce the heat and cook until the chops are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chops and apple to a new platter.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
<u></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If pan juices are too thick to stir, add the remaining bourbon. Increase the heat to high and boil the pan juices, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy, 1-2 minutes. Serve on the side.</div>

<b>A THANKSGIVING FOOD MEMORY</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Over the meadow and through the woods to Grandmother's house we go... That may be true for a lot of families in America in the 1950's as they made their way to grandma's for Thanksgiving, but not my family. We had another route. Dressed in our Sunday best (it <i>was</i> the fifties) my brother and I would climb into the backseat of my father's Ford, my mom nestled in the front passenger seat holding her onions au gratin casserole on her lap as my dad got behind the driver's wheel and drove us over the streets of Queens and through the Belt Parkway to grandma's house in Brooklyn.<br />
<br />
Mumu and Poppy, as Robert and I were taught to call them (maybe that's what Finn children called their grandparents in Finland, I never knew for sure), lived in a brownstone a couple of blocks from Sunset Park. We arrived at their top floor, spacious and gracious apartment, around eleven in the morning so that my mother could help Mumu prepare the Thanksgiving meal, including mom's onions au gratin that went into the oven as soon as the turkey came out to "sit" for awhile. Poppy and my dad talked politics (argued is more accurate) and we kids were left to fend for ourselves. Well, there wasn't much for young kids to fend for in a game-less (except cards) apartment filled with Victorian antiques and Persian carpets, so we wheedled our dad to leave politics in the living room, and take us to the park. Poppy never joined us.<br />
<br />
The park was expansive and quite beautiful, with gorgeous views and many places to explore, but what I remember most is the old men scattered around the park's many acres, sitting at cement tables playing chess or checkers. I wondered if, like us, they'd had to escape their apartments for a bit til Thanksgiving dinner was ready (men who weren't chefs in restaurants rarely cooked, or even helped, back then - it was women's work). By the time we got back to the brownstone, dinner was ready... Robert and I would wash our hands and take our assigned seats as the turkey was brought out and we all ooh-ed and ah-ed. The table always looked splendid with Mumu's finest china and shiniest sterling silver place settings displayed on top of a white damask tablecloth. Each of the linen napkins was fanned into silver napkin rings. White tapered candles in silver candlesticks were lighted and dad would begin his 'carving the turkey' ritual.<br />
<br />
The aromas of the meal made the apartment smell heavenly. Mom would take off her apron and serve the mashed potatoes, stuffing, Mumu's cranberry sauce and string bean casserole. But, for me, it was my mom's onions au gratin that always won the day. It's a dish she only made three times a year... Christmas, Easter and Thanksgiving. Sometimes with roast beef. Sometimes with ham or pork roast. And, like Thanksgiving, sometimes with turkey. A meat lover as a kid, onions au gratin was the only vegetable I really liked. Of course, if she left out the onions and served only the 'au gratin,' I would have been a happy girl. She had me at melted cheese. I devoured my turkey, the mashed potatoes, stuffing and dinner roll (or those carbs!) and managed to get through the string beans (I think it was the added mushroom soup and crunchy onions that did it), but I savored those onions and often had seconds. It's amazing that I was a skinny child.<br />
<br />
After mince meat and pumpkin pies, mom and Mumu spent the rest of the afternoon and early evening cleaning up and doing dishes as Poppy and my dad retired to the living room. Poppy was not a verbose kind of fellow except when arguing politics. He'd lived in America since he was 18, but still preferred to speak Finnish. He wasn't affectionate and rarely talked to my brother or me when we were little, but somewhere in the back of his mind, he thought to make a connection with us. An hour or two after dinner and Robert and I began to get bored (they didn't have a TV), Poppy would lie on his stomach on living room carpet and ask us to take turns walking on his back. Though he was a builder, he still did a lot of carpentry work and lifting on job sites, and walking on his back was comparable to getting a massage - besides, we didn't weigh all that much. By the time we were finish and Poppy was back in his comfy easy chair, mom would be done in the kitchen. It was time to go home. As we left, Poppy would hand Robert and me each a shiny half dollar for relieving the soreness in his back.<br />
<br />
By the time I was in high school, our Thanksgiving family had dwindled down to four. Mom, Robert, Poppy and me. Poppy moved in with us after Mumu died. My dad was already gone. But mom eventually remarried and moved to Connecticut. Poppy moved back to Brooklyn and I rarely saw him. I was out of college and living on my own when he finally joined Mumu and his son, but I still have such clear memories of their apartment in Brooklyn when I was a little girl, my sleepovers there, scattered throughout the year, going to Flatbush so she could buy fabric (she was an amazing dressmaker), the beautiful Christmas and Easter outfits she would make for me in velvet and dotted swiss, but the most vivid memories of my early Thanksgivings are of walking on my grandfather's back and mom's onions au gratin.<br />
<br />
My mom died over a decade ago and I haven't had that dish since. This year we were invited to friends for Thanksgiving and Richard made the casserole for the gathering. Reading my mom's handwritten recipe she had given me years ago, Richard did a little online sleuthing and found out that the ingredients used were popular for such dishes during the Depression and WWII because of rationing in America. He made the onions au gratin true to that recipe. It still tasted as I remembered.<br />

This is my latest Food & Drink column in the winter issue of the Ojai Quarterly magazine. Sadly, I was too busy eating or taking pix, I didn't get pix of all the food or of Ruth signing her new book.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lunch With Ruth Reichl </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I love to eat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Cooking?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not so much.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I do love to read cookbooks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well, not really “read” as I barely scan the
recipes, it’s the pictures of food that tantalize my tongue… how that food is
plated, the dishes used – you know, “food porn.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, I then show these pictures to my
husband, who <i>does </i>love to cook, and ask him to work some culinary mojo.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I first met six-times James Beard Award winner Ruth
Reichl (virtually) when my husband brought home “The Gourmet Cookbook,” her massive
tome with the heft and weight of a family bible. The comparison is apt, since
it became <i>his </i>cooking bible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There are no pictures, but I’ve salivated over every meal he’s made from
that book and took my own pictures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
the past, I had often thought of writing about food, but I was a political
satirist and wrote comedic essays and scripts for TV.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Food writers seemed to take their craft quite
seriously… that is until I discovered the Book of Ruth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">My second virtual introduction to Ruth took place when
my book group chose her 2001 memoir, “Comfort Me with Apples.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I fell in love with her conversational
writing flare that recounted how she became a food critic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her travel adventures that focused on the
world’s cuisines were funny and informative.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was so inspired by her stories that I started a food blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ruth showed me that writing about food can be
fun, often “tongue-in-cheek,” even tongue-in-cheeky. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I saw how it was possible to pen a mini-memoir
about a homecooked meal or a restaurant dinner that made readers relate.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, when I read that Ruth was going to do a
book signing at a luncheon at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa’s Farmhouse, I begged
and pleaded with my publisher/editor (strategic tears in my eyes) that the
Quarterly send me to cover the event. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>OK,
no tears (poetic license), but he agreed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>That was all that mattered.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Farmhouse is a twenty-million dollar food event
venue with a huge barn-like structure that houses a large “open to the room” working
kitchen and space for many tables, plus lovely grounds that can host all sorts
of parties, from weddings to masked balls (that is, if anyone still does masked
balls).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Inside the barn, folks were mingling while sipping
fine wine and nibbling on pink deviled eggs.. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Ruth briefly talked about her time
at Gourmet Magazine and why writing “Save Me The Plums” about that era of her
life, was important to her… how the publisher, Conde Nast supported her vision
and never micro-managed, giving her carte blanche to push the food magazine
envelope… a freedom given an editor that few, if any, publisher allows today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She rewarded that trust by straddling the
fence, continuing to give old subscribers what they wanted while bringing a new
approach to the magazine that would garner new subscribers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also important to her that this new
book clearly demonstrate that women can be mothers while having a challenging
career.</span></div>

Both are on Amazon (White Gloves is also on Barnes & Noble), Kindle and ebooks.<br />
<br />
For all of you who have followed my blog, here are 5 Things you may not know about me:<br />
<br />
1. I'm an ex-dancer<br />
<br />
2.
As an artist (as well as a writer), I was hired to repair a
religious mural on the ceiling of a Catholic cathedral in the Brooklyn
Navy yard when I was 17. Four scaffolds up!!! I pretended it was the Sistine Chapel. I started right after Thanksgiving and the church was often filled with beautiful voices singing seasonal hymns as the choir practiced for the Christmas masses while I was hanging from the ceiling painting.<br />
<br />
3. I love cheeseburgers, hot dogs and
pizza (well, you probably knew that) and write a food and drink column for
the Ojai Quarterly magazine - what you might not know is that my heroines in both my books are foodies of sorts as they run for their lives or seek revenge.<br />
<br />
4. Mysteries and certain political thrillers are my favorite reading genres (well, I do write them, after all), but my favorite authors are Pat Conroy and John Irving.<span class="text_exposed_show"></span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> 5. I pay homage to Radio City Music Hall in my lst book, the Manhattan political thriller, "Freeze Frame" and to the Schrafft's restaurants in my latest book, "White Gloves & Rob Roys</span><br />

Yes - what's good for the goose is good for the gander at this wine country "public house." Though it's not a description used often (pub being the more common choice), public houses were known as restaurant/bars that served ale, alcohol and delicious tavern food and were the focal point of a small village community. The Goose & Gander fits that definition and then some, serving delicious bar-bites in its tavern-like bar and a rustic American/British food menu in the main restaurant with many gourmet twists.<br />
<br />
I wish I could say we "discovered" Goose & Gander when we were up in Sonoma, but we wouldn't have, even accidentally, since it's in the town of St. Helena, in the Napa Valley. When friends heard we were off to Sonoma, they told us about their friends' public house/pub/tavern/restaurant (all work). When I checked it out online and read "pork burger with cheddar and bacon," I knew I had to drag Richard, Bob & Nguyen there.<b> </b><br />
<br />
The day we decided to go, the weather was perfect... the drive to St. Helena, beautiful, and the town quaint and picturesque. Owned by Andy and Trisha Florsheim, I immediately fell in love with this public house the minute I saw it.<br />

The main dining room with it's pitched wooden ceiling and substantial wooden bar is welcoming in an "old world" way.<br />

The separate bar downstairs is dark and cozy with brick walls and a large stone fireplace. It was like stepping back in time as if we might have left our horse-drawn carriage and entered the restaurant for a meal in a English countryside wayside inn during the age of Henry V. <br />

Bob and I started with a "featured" cocktail (Finns like cocktails - some like them too much): Walter's Manhattan, made with Templeton rye, Evan Williams single barrel bourbon, Carpano Antica, and bitters. Don't know who Walter is, but he mixes a helluva Manhattan.<br />
<br />
We met Sylvia, Dwight and Jason, who took excellent care of us. We started with a bar bite of corn croquettes with pepper coulis to share... <br />

... as well as wood roasted cauliflower with cilantro, spiced yogurt, chili and curried almonds. Two perfect examples of gourmet twists on English/American food standards.<br />

Richard chose the Pulled BBQ Duck with Masa al la Plancha, avocado puree, chipotle slaw, radish, lime and pickle fennel. Of course I tried it. Wow. Sadly, it was gone before I could take a picture. <br />
<br />
Bob opted for the Beef Chicharrone - a delicious concoction of beef tastes you won't find in your average pub -- not even a gastro pub.<br />

Nguyen loves British pub favorite, fish and chips. She was not disappointed. With malt vinegar powder, a side of fresh made coleslaw, tartar sauce and lemon, it lived up to pub excellence. And then those duck fat fries... Yes! <br />

For those of you who know about my hunt for the perfect cheeseburger, must have guessed that I, of course, had the Heritage Pork Burger. Well, that was the whole reason I insisted we come to Goose & Gander, right? Topped with melty cheddar, bacon, Siracha aioli, nestled in a pain de mie, pull apart bun (made with no eggs, but plenty of butter, Julia Child's favorite ingredient), it was beyond my juicy cheeseburger expectations. I also got the duck fat fries... not one was left.<br />

We couldn't leave without desserts with lots of spoons to share... cinnamon ice cream, vanilla ice cream and orange sorbet... perfect on a Keto diet. Just kidding! Then came a vanilla brownie with caramel sauce. Really! I gained 10 pounds just from looking at the desserts.<br />
<br />
Also on the Goose & Gander lunch menus (a la carte and prix fixe) were Vietnamese Sticky Ears one of the other bar-bite, cheese plates and a charcuterie board - (I was sorry I didn't get a chance to try the Martini House mushroom soup made with wild and "tame" mushrooms, topped with chives - I just couldn't taste another thing)... wines and cocktails and craft sodas, including house-made cream soda.<br />
<br />
Needless to say, if you're in Napa or Sonoma or within a day's drive of the Goose & Gander, you must have lunch or dinner there. The surroundings are beautiful - the food, well, you'll want more than just a gander at it!<br />

As Richard, brother Bob and sister-in-law Nguyen and I wined and dined during our Sonoma County "road trip," we came across a gem of a tasting room in the charming town of Healdsburg.<br />

Owner Bill Williamson, a farmer and winemaker, is also a software entrepreneur who designed the software that runs his business. Did I mention he also wrote a book? "Way Beyond Wine - The Williamson Wine Story." Born in Australia, Bill developed a successful software company there and it was at his company that he met his wife, Dawn. They immigrated to San Francisco where Bill started yet another software company. Eventually, he sold that business and he and Dawn moved to Dry Creek... the rest is Williamson wine history.<br />

...with a barista, sipping wines and munching on little snacks. Hmmmm. Food. What's that all about? We were soon to fine out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A young man, who introduced himself as Sam Williamson (the son of Bill), escorted us to a table for four and told us that the tasting/pairing would be complimentary. So that was what that food was all about.<br />

... as he explained that with each taste we would be getting a small bite pairing created and made by his mom (Dawn) specifically for each wine. As you can see, each small bite was placed on a piece of cheese which served as its cracker. I was in cheese-pairing heaven.<br />

While our bites were being prepared, Sam started us off with Bliss Sparkling Shiraz that just whetted our palate. I could start a tasting that way every time. <br />
<br />
Next was Frolic Viognier. Viognier has become a favorite white wine of mine, having more body than a sauvignon blanc, but not as oak-y as a chardonnary. Frolic frolic-ed happily in my mouth.<br />
<br />
The Joy Sauvignon Blanc followed. I'm not a sauvignon blanc fan normally, but this was a crisp, refreshing mouthful. <br />
<br />
Elate Grange Cuvee recommended to be paired with bacon/pork/turkey earned three stars (out of four) from me, as did the Enchant Trinity GSM, great with lamb or pork.<br />
<br />
Folly Melange is a Bordeaux blend (hence "melange") that goes with everything from meat to duck, pizza to chocolate. Loved the hint of blueberry and spice. <br />
<br />
If you enjoy a good cab, Impulse Cabernet is a must. A Bordeaux/Merlot blend with rich tannins, described by the winemaker as a "Left Bank" wine. I describe it as quite good.<br />

My four star pick has to be Ravish Melange with its classic French "nose" of a Bordeaux with hints of spice, coffee and chocolate. Rich in color, it's a lush red wine. My favorite wine of the day.<br />
<br />
We ended the tasting as we began with a sparkling wine... this time the sparkling was a Malbec... and a worthy finish to a sparkling day. <br />
