Summer Heaven ☀️🌊🕊

I miss you 🤍✨️

Last week, I posted about end-of-season strawberries in California, and today, I'm sharing a photo I snapped while running a few errands. The marigolds were beaming. It's the end of October with many celebrations honoring the "dead" or our ancestors, from Halloween to Dia de los Muertos to Diwali. The whole city is a melting pot this week, I noticed while driving back home, colorful decorations that spark curiosity and joy. I am most excited for the invitations to dinner parties and gatherings that often tell stories through flavors and share cultural traditions. It's got me contemplating what I would like to take along as a small gift.

California spoils us with her sweet 🍓 and now it's the end of the season 😭 I'm so grateful for Earth's candy. I like to cut them up and put them on top of a slice sourdough with ricotta, basil, and a drizzle of honey. What's your favorite "candy" from your part of the world?
