Lemon-lime has such a distinct taste on the palette. I start thinking about it too long and my mouth starts watering from the shocking sour, delightful zing, and intensely nostalgic flavor. I've been busy devouring Bonnie's home-grown and home-made Lemon-Lime Marmalade, which has my brain hyper focusing on one of my favorite colors & flavors.

Lately I've been busy devouring Bonnie's home-grown and home-made Lemon-Lime Marmalade. Ever since receiving my precious jar of marmalade, I've been hyper-focusing on the zesty colors & flavors. Combining what lives rent-free in my brain with recent sightings, I've curated what's standing out as Lemon-Lime inspiration.
Leading up to the opening of Bar Brucato, I got to join a dessert tasting with their chef Chip on a sunny Friday morning in the home of Brucato AmaroĀ owners, James and Sierra. Until I sat around a table with six other people, comparing five different desserts did I realize how polarizing a lemony dessert can be. I am a lemon-before-chocolate person 93% of the time (Unless we're talking about truffles, I don't want a fruity truffle. Let choclate be chocolate, please). The lemon tart with a buttery pine nut crust and salted cream with a spicy drizzle of something magical was an absolute stand out. Once they open, I'll drag my lemon-dessert-friends with me to devour another slice with amaro cocktail pairings. Currently it's peak Meyer Lemon season, so until then, I'll get by with making the Smitten Kitchen (Deb Perelman) Classic Lemon Curd Tart.

During art week, Bonnie and I each went to the Minnesota Street Project galleries at the end of January. On Monday morning, we shared our stand out favorite artists from the event. Despite our ever differing opinions, we both had narrowed down to the same two. Janet Jacobs's solo show in the Eleanor Harwood Gallery was big and energetic, nostalgic, joyful.

The San Francisco handmade watercolor paint store, co-founded in 2014 by artist Alexis Joseph (who went to school for architecture) who fell in love with pigments. Over the years, I've taken watercolor paint making classes, and online classes with various artists. But recently, BIG news! They've taken over their neighboring space to create a workshop - there are now so many more classes, in real life at the CfM Art Room (at Judah & 45th)! I highly recommend the Atmospheres with Dave Muller class (virtually or in person).
