Hello, Barefoot In The Orchard. Here I am again. Life twists and turns and I endeavor to <i>happily</i><br />
keep up. I want to continue to grow, evolve, and stay open to learning all that I can. Life's hardships, challenges, and unexpected happenings make me stop and question this journey at times and how I <i>choose</i> to respond. I love living in this big, beautiful Pacific Northwest; our little family is thriving so I really can't complain. I wish I knew all that I now know and I could begin my life as a daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother and person all over again. I am certain I could give even more and skip through unnecessary stuff that served no purpose. Of course, that is not the way things work (ha!) but I soooo wish it did. Oh well.... onward!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Its almost been 2 years since our big move from Santa Rosa (Northern California Wine Country) to the Seattle (Puget Sound Metropolitan Area). There are still days when I feel like...where am I -- but this ever-growing beautiful city and the wide green spaces of the Pacific Northwest have stolen my heart. Navigating this new food scene has been so much fun and having <a href="http://mobile.pikeplacemarket.org/home" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Pike's Place Market</span></a> just a few minutes away, is heaven! </span></div>

H</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">e had always been my go-to-guy when something went wrong. Car is making a funny noise, kitchen sink leaking -- time to call dad. He taught me how to install a new hard-drive in my computer and drive a stick shift.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , "lucida grande" , sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px;">When I was a child, I watched him build an entire horse corral and small barn (almost single-handedly), restore a vintage car he found out in a field, and fix just about anything you could throw at him. I tried to learn everything I could from him. As I grew older I found he was rather deep and serious about many of life's great questions but his easy laugh, light Texan drawl and smile masked this side of himself. Early on in this disease, we still carried on long, serious conversations about everything. However, when those conversations slowed and eventually stopped, there was a terrible feeling of loss. Each day now, as he reaches the final stages of his journey, I put my hand on his shoulder and say, "I love you, dad." In this moment, his eyes open and brighten up and he says with affection, "I love you too, Bean (my nickname)." I know he's still in there. And even though caring for him, with the help of my mother (who works selflessly and tirelessly), is a daunting task each and every day -- it has been worth it. I don't know how far we we’ll make it, but we are hanging in there. </span><br />

This has also been made possible thanks to "my Mark," the greatest guy/husband/friend a woman could have. Likewise, this journey has been made possible thanks to my three youngest kids, who are still at home -- and who, because of their own life experiences and how they came to us, show incredible empathy and selfless caring.</span><br />

Lemon-Ricotta Pancakes<br /><span style="font-size: 24px; word-spacing: 0.16px;"><b><br /></b></span>Ingredients<br />4 SERVINGS<br />2 cups ricotta<br />2 cups mixed fresh berries<br />1/3 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar, divided<br />2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice<br />1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour<br />1/2 cup chestnut flour<br />2 tablespoons baking powder<br />1/2 teaspoon kosher salt<br />4 large eggs, separated<br />2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest<br />1 1/2 cups whole milk<br />Melted unsalted butter for brushing<br /><br />Preparation<br />Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth; set over a small bowl. Add ricotta to strainer and let drain for 15 minutes; set aside.<br />Gently combine berries, 1/3 cup sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Let macerate, tossing occasionally, until sugar dissolves and juices are released, about 15 minutes.<br />Whisk both flours, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites in a medium bowl until frothy. Gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until peaks form. Whisk the egg yolks, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and zest in another medium bowl to blend. Whisk in milk. Add the yolk mixture to dry ingredients; whisk just to blend. Add half of the egg white mixture; fold just to blend. Fold in ricotta, then remaining egg white mixture.<br />Heat a griddle or large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-low heat; brush with melted butter. Using scant 1/2 cup batter for each pancake and working in batches, ladle batter onto griddle and cook until bottom is golden brown, edges are dry, and bubbles form on top of pancake, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until browned and just cooked through, about 1 minute. Transfer pancakes to plates. Serve with berries and their juices.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 25.6px;">I am currently on the hunt for these -- and if you grow your own garlic or have a good farmer’s market, give them a try.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 25.12px;">They are the stalks that grow from the bulbs of garlic plants. If left unharvested, they will eventually bloom but if harvested before they flower, the plant sends all its energy into producing wonderfully flavorful bulbs. They taste a bit like chives or scallions, but with garlic flavor that’s milder and softer. Delicious!</span></span></div>

<br />
It's been difficult getting back to writing my blog. There are all the obvious reasons but more than anything -- I am just out of the groove of just sitting down at my desk and writing.<br />
<br />
I have been working on some interesting freelance projects -- location scouting (<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2px;">traveling around, observing and talking to people -- in other words fun and exploration)</span> and this </span>has made me much more on-the-go than ever before. It has also given me the opportunity to indulge in my photography -- so no complaints here. This has been a sometimes stressful but very happy year/chapter in our lives, as we re-think our place in this lovely, crazy world.<br />
<br />
My parents have also followed us North and I have been caring for my father part time, who has Lewy Body Dementia. My mother, just cannot be expected to do this daily work alone. Also, we would like to keep him with us, comfortable and happy for as long as possible.<br />
<br />
So, what have we been up to this past year... <span style="font-size: large;">everything!</span><br />
xoxo's ;)<br />

Here it is July already and I haven't sat down to write a post for <u>barefoot in the orchard</u> since February. I truly underestimated how busy I would be and honestly, how much time I would be spending just learning how to get from here to there. It was such a big move for us. New schools, new jobs, new home, new everything. But I am not complaining... not one bit. :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've discovered many wonderful farmers markets and local produce stores in and around the Seattle area. This beautiful state has rugged snow capped mountain ranges in every direction, miles and miles of farmland, waterways around every bend and of course, a few volcanoes. I absolutely love living in a temperate rain forest - but truth be told there has been a lingering heatwave as of late and it has felt like I never left California. ;) </div>
<br />
Waiting for the lovely moderate temps to return.<br />

<span style="color: #444444;">Yay, I am so happy -- this is my first post on, "What's In Season," from my new home just outside Seattle in the PNW/Pacific Northwest! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="color: #444444;">What is the PNW? By some definitions it is a region of political boundaries, waterways or landforms. Some say it includes northern California, Alaska, western Canada, western Idaho and even Montana. Still others say it is just Oregon and Washington. The definition seems to shift around. I only know that I now definitely live in the Pacific Northwest. :)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">First. I want to say that Seattle is an unbelievably beautiful city. I have been busy scoping out all the cool Caf<span style="color: black;">é</span>s and Farmers Markets. We are currently living 15 minutes from downtown Seattle, so trips over to the city are almost a daily occurrence. We have also been touring nearby towns (Edmonds is my <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.12px;">♥ </span>fav so far) as we learn to navigate this corner of the world. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">This has been a big move for us and hard on all the family and friends we left back in Northern California -- but has also been filled with many wonderful surprises. It has felt a bit like being a pioneer, packing up everything we own into a covered wagon (in reality a PODS container - lol) and moving off to a place sight unseen (except by internet). We arrived here just a few days before Christmas and rung in the New Year at the Space Needle instead of the Golden Gate Bridge. We are finally unpacked, settled in and looking forward to as many new adventures as the days will hold.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #bf9000;"><span style="color: #444444;">Happy Seasonal/Local Shopping!</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 16.12px;">♥</span></span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: #999900;">Food grown in your own community was probably picked within the past day or two. It's crisp, sweet and loaded with flavor. Several studies have shown that the average distance food travels from farm to plate is 1,500 miles. In a week-long (or more) delay from harvest to dinner table, sugars turn to starches, plant cells shrink, and produce loses its vitality. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #cc6600;">The following is a rough list of what I might find here in California. Eating seasonally means enjoying the ripest and freshest food at the height of its natural harvest time. It means supporting local farmers who transport their goods the shortest distance to your plate. It also means experimenting with interesting foods you might not otherwise consider adding to a meal! </span><br />

<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cc6600;">Food grown in your own community was probably picked within the past day or two. It's crisp, sweet and loaded with flavor. Several studies have shown that the average distance food travels from farm to plate is 1,500 miles. In a week-long (or more) delay from harvest to dinner table, sugars turn to starches, plant cells shrink, and produce loses its vitality. </span></div>

Local seasonal foods are tastier, fresher and more nutritious. Why? It’s because the produce has been harvested in the last few days and has only traveled a short distance to market. This means less packaging, processing and refrigeration. All good for the environment <span style="color: white;"><span style="color: black;">and your health.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-size: 85%;">_</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">The cherry is one of the world's oldest cultivated fruits, along with its cousin, the </span><span style="font-size: 85%;">apricot</span><span style="font-size: 85%;">. Cultivation dates back to 300 B.C. and its lineage dates back even farther. The common cherry tree, Prunus avium, is native to the temperate areas of eastern Europe and western Asia and is part of the Rose family. Its name comes originally from the Greek, and in Latin means of or for the birds, due to the birds' obvious love of the fruit. The English word cherry originates from the Assyrian karsu and Greek kerasos. The tree was beloved by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans both for its beautiful flowers and its versatile fruit. Although a different species of cherry was already strongly established in America by the time the first colonists arrived, the new settlers brought along their favorite European variety and eventually cross-bred the two. Today, 90 percent of the commercial cherry crop is grown in the U.S., mostly in Michigan, California, Oregon and Washington. The most popular variety is the Bing cherry, which was developed by Seth Luelling od Milwaukie, Oregon in 1875. It was allegedly named for his Manchurian foreman. There are now thousands of varieties of cherries and most are still picked by hand. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: white;">_</span><br />
* Antioxidants are thought to help protect the body against the damaging effects of free radicals and the chronic diseases associated with aging. Blueberries contain 14 mg of Vitamin C and 0.8 mg Vitamin E per 1 cup of blueberries. The Research Center on Aging (Boston, MA) says that, blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity.<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: small;">Yay, blueberries!!</span></span></div>

<em>Recipe - Yummy Roasted Carrots</em></div>
<div>

<span style="color: white;">_</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: 85%;">Ingredients</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span><br />
12 carrots<br />
3 tablespoons good olive oil<br />
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt<br />
1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper<br />
2 tablespoons minced fresh dill or parsley</div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 85%;">Directions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span>Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span>If the carrots are thick, cut them in half lengthwise; if not, leave whole. Slice the carrots diagonally in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices. (The carrots will shrink while cooking so make the slices big.) Toss them in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to a sheet pan in 1 layer and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until browned and tender.</div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span><br />
Toss the carrots with minced dill or parsley, season to taste, and serve.</div>

<span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="color: #999900;">Kiwi, what a wonderful fruit!! </span>Much like apples and pears, which are available from cold storage well into spring, kiwis are a nice alternative to imported fruit during the winter months. What we now call kiwi or kiwifruit was long referred to as "Chinese gooseberry" in New Zealand, where the fruit flourished after being brought from China early in the last century. In the 1960s, when the then-exotic fruit was introduced in California, it was dubbed the kiwi after the national bird of New Zealand. </span></div>

<span style="color: #cc6600;">Is Organic Healthier?</span></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: 85%;">As the debate rages on about whether organically grown food is better for us than the "conventional" produce we have become used to, a new study sides firmly with organic. Scientists found that some organic food is more healthy after tests on kiwi fruit grown by both methods.The American researchers discovered that organically grown kiwis had significantly higher levels of vitamin C and polyphenols - compounds associated with health benefits including reducing cholesterol, improving circulation and preventing cancer. <span style="color: #cc6600;">I'm not surprised - just one more reason to go with organic -- when you can!! xx's </span><br /><span style="color: white;"><span style="color: white;">.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large; line-height: 1.5em;">Leeks</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.5em;"> are alliums like onions and garlic. Instead of forming a tight bulb like the onion, the leek produces a long cylinder of bundled leaf sheaths.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The white and light green parts of the leek and most often used, since the dark green part has much less flavor and can be starchy. The tender delicious part of the stalks is for adding flavor to soups or stocks.</span><br />

<span style="color: #b45f06;">Seven years after I first found this recipes and posted it, I am still making this healthful and yummy green drink for my family, most Monday mornings. It definitely stood the test of time and my kids actually love it -- even my picky eater (there is always one in every family). ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Happy Monday!!_</span><br />

<span style="color: #003300; font-size: 130%;">Green Drink</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: white;">_</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">2 apples, cored </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">2 big handfuls of spinach</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">1/2 cup of chopped parsley</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">1 celery stick, chopped</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">1 thumbnail length of ginger root, </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">peeled 1 lemon - juice only (use peel slice for zest)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #003300;">1 medium cucumber</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">_</span></div>
<div>
Place ingredients in a blender, add 4 oz. spring water or a handful of ice cubes, then puree quickly for one minute. Makes two glasses.<br />
<span style="color: white;">_</span><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;">Of course, you can adjust these ingredients to your own taste. </span></div>
