Summer Time and the Living is....


The B&B has closed for the season. No more big breakfasts. Now I will just read her correspondence with Maxwell Perkins, her editor. What an incredible relationship they had.He knew how to honor her gift by asking just the right questions.

In her Nov. 4, 1931 letter she tells him about her fine stand of broccoli. I agree. Fla broccoli, even urban grown, is fine indeed. Last year I grew Goliath and fed the entire neighborhood. This year I am roasting the broccoli, carrots,and tiny potatoes in an olive oil rosemary mixture. 400 at 20 minutes. Yum.
