8. Christina Wenger Interesting salad greens fresh from my organic Altadena garden: arugula, chickweed, salad burnet, baby fennel . ..
Yummy pot greens from my organic Altadena garden: kale, chard, collards . . .Along with lots of the crusty, chewy, French-style bread I’ve been bringing each month to the market, I’ll also bring this persimmon-coriander bread on December 19th. It’s slightly sweet from the persimmons, aromatic with coriander, and a little nutty with whole wheat. It makes a great toast.
All these and more will be on my table December 19th!
9. Karen Klemens Make sure to sample my Sweet Pickled Oranges, a traditional side dish served on Christmas morning. The oranges were hand-selected from a tree growing in a vacant lot in Altadena. Don’t want to waste any fruit! These oranges are incredibly delicious.
