Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes of our inspired week with coffee.

Herb and Garlic Sauteed Mushrooms

As a young wife in the 90’s, my go to party appetizer was a heady mixture of fungi sauteed in garlic and whatever herbs were still living in my hip urban container garden. Served with a baguette from the grocery freezer section for dipping. Fancy and French I assured myself.

There’s a Strawberry on my Back

I grew up wanting to work in the fields, a dream my parents deferred my entire childhood.

Every elementary kid did it, or so it seemed. Each summer a chartered school bus would haul sleepy-eyed kids from their homes to the sprawling strawberry fields just a short 15-minute drive into the county. While I lazed around watching “Tom and Jerry” and lapping up “toasted rice” cereal, I imagined my schoolmates singing songs and forging friendships in my absence.
