summer colors and classes
Today is the final day of the first week of kids’ summer classes. I had a great group, 9 darling girls and 1 adorable boy. Connor is a fantastic assistant, so all is well and wonderful. Wednesday was “Mexican Day” and this beautiful and fresh salad was one of the featured dishes. Quite a bit of slicing and dicing, but after the initial prep work, it comes together in a matter of minutes, making it a great do-ahead choice for a summer menu.

Another happening on Wednesday was my appearance on Valley Dish with Tram Mai. It was a bit more hectic than usual, what with cooking with the kids all morning, cleaning up from class, then prepping and packing to go to the station… So a couple of items were forgotten at home, but we managed to make it through the show.
My friend, Sharon Salomon, who is a writer for Edible Phoenix, interviewed Tram a couple of months ago and their article is in this summer’s issue. The editor of the magazine, Pamela Hamilton, generously drops off a box with 100 copies each summer for me to hand out to my students. I took a dozen copies to Tram yesterday and upon reading the article found the sweetest quote from her right about in the center of the page. Here is a link to the article that made my day. And if you’re local, Edible is a wonderful local resource, I highly recommend subscribing to it!
