I can’t decide which I love more- the cat or the food. Both are beautiful! I’m not a huge fan of arugula but I’d be willing to give it another try with that delicious looking squash.

Global climate change, indeed…the high today in scenic Silicon Valley is 70F. And yet that pile of lovely winter veg definitely looks good! & I have to say I’m very jealous of your snow…

Everything here is so great – from the salad to the run. I need to take advantage of squash soon before Spring is here!

Beautiful pictures, and a delicious salad! Wish we could have some right now (although we’ve just finished dinner)!

Jes – love your salad, but especially love the photos of Dorian watching the snow. The view from your hike looks amazing. AND what a winter wonderland you must have seen that morning. I miss those types of snow days, but do notmiss driving in it during rush hour withh everyone else

It was 80F+ yesterday here and heading into another day a bit hotter. It’s S.TX but this is a bit on the warm side for winter. Your salad inspired me. I am going to walk out to the garden and pick a bunch of kale (and other things) and make some sort of salad. Yours looks so delicious. I swear I get so hungry reading all these food posts and writing about them.

So jealous you got to run in the snow! This weather has been insane. We had a thunderstorm last night and lightening struck in our neighborhood, knocking out our power for a minute and completely blowing one of our breakers.

That salad looks delicious – I love topping a bed of fresh greens (especially rocket) with something warm and savory, even in the middle of the summer. In a few months, I’ll be making salads topped with oven-roasted strawberries. But for now, your photo has reminded me that I have a couple of small winter squash still hanging around.

Seriously, this has been the least wintery winter that I can remember! Not that I’m complaining at all… It’s just crazy that it already feels so springy. At least you have genuine snow around to remind you that it’s mid-February still.

Those squash pieces look so perfectly caramelized around the edges… Gotta try that!

Wow — I am so terribly jealous of this experience! Fermenting scares me a little, but it’s something I so want to learn how to do. What great pics too — I love shots of people in action making food.
