I'm way late to commenting on this one, but Violet just got back from a school trip mountain biking in Marin County, and she had a day trip to Point Reyes (I think she must have been in the village you describe?). She loved it!
Ah, lucky Violet! That's amazing. It's so beautiful in that area. Point Reyes Station is truly the cutest town. There's a wonderful bookstore, and a famous bakery next door called Bovine Bakery. There are always tons of cyclists hanging out there, taking a break.
Congrats to Ev and Cate!!!! Emma these photos and stories transport me. Love it so much thanks for sharing! What truly lovely travel + culinary adventures!
Thanks, Kel!! You're so sweet! And do watch the quilting documentary if you have time. It was incredible touching and I really want to get involved now.
Re. the dressing--I pretty much always make one of two vinaigrettes. One uses red wine vinegar, dijon, olive oil, and finely chopped shallots. It's soooo good I could use it as a dip! (I know you don't eat onions, but are shallots okay? They're so mild! And letting them sit in the vinegar for 15 minutes befire using also mellows them.)
The other is a classic balsamic. Balsamic, olive oil, dijon, and some honey. Also pretty yummy, but sometimes a little too sweet for my taste.

Thank you, Ali!!!
All so fun to read!! AJ and Nu used to walk the neighborhood park in Fairfield to pick up garbage. Love it!
That's awesome! Yay, Nu! I always think that if everyone helped a little, it wouldn't be a problem.
So many thoughts on this post!
I am mortified by the trawling video. How is this legal?
Can't wait to try out The Residence. Thanks for the recommendation
What dressing did you put on the beet, blue cheese and pistachio salad?
Fire alarm during AP is so unfair! It's torture to take those. She should get an automatic 5 for the inconvenience!
Your Cecile Brunner climbing roses are stunning!
Your posts are the most welcome break in my day! Keep them coming!
