Rolling, Rolling, Rolling, keep those taralli's rolling.
We're still working on perfection here. These things are tough to do and there seems to be a difference in the recipe and technique between Fresno and Healdsburg. I can't quite explain it yet, but we'll figure it out.
Fresno and Healdsburg have slightly different weather patterns. Fresno is a little ahead in terms of grape and olive harvesting. Cousin Marco was hard at work in Fresno curing olives; an annual tradition. Meanwhile, Cousin David was harvesting grapes in Healdsburg for the 2011 Cabernet Vintage. Lots of harvesting going on.
I've posted Marco's pictures of his olive curing in the Gallery and Facebook.
Dinner for 12. I wanted to highlight a dinner I coordinated along with friends, John and Falina Marihart. We were discussing whether or not we should pass out Lipitor for dessert, but we passed on that idea. Here's the night in food:
September 1 is the opening day of Dove Season in California and has been a long tradition in our family. This year was no exception. We captured a few of the scenes of the day and naturally paired our birds with some Double Barrel Cabernet.
While I've been doing several dinners in Healdsburg lately, I had the opportunity to cook in Fresno with some good friends. John and Falina Marihart opened their home and Chef Tommy Chavez worked with me to create a wonderful evening with food, wine, and friends.
