It was a fun summer!
I was, and my Blog was on vacation for a while: No Blogging, No Twitter, No Facebook, No e-mails, No cooking classes and Cooking demo, little, little cooking in my own kitchen for family and friends. Just my kids and DH, sun, sand, pool, BBQ, bi-weekly visit to our local Farmer’s Market. Had fun Book Club meetings with ladies that rock, I read in 2 days Twilight and had a crush on Edward Cullens. Had a pool party at the ” Cresta” area in a multimillion home with a view like the one in Tuscany. Met Jordane the owner of Delaney’s Artisan Food Market in Old Temecula CA, and Charis from Temecula fields who makes delicious Jams and Jelly with local produces…. Our annual Bastille Day Party with old and new French Friends was great as usual, the Basque Festival in Chino was a little too long but fun, an impromptu and sweet visit from Alice my Parisian Cousin’s daughter. Finaly. Finaly we met for a long drinks our Argentinian/ Dutch couple neighbors (they arrived for drinks at 5pm and left at almost Midnight!) and we spent a lovely evening at Hart and Jonele’s beautiful -quaint -European style house eating in their gorgeous backyard a serie of delicious, exquisite Pizzas…from scratch.. (baked in a Tratoria style outside wood Pizza -oven) as good as the ones you can have in Italy! My favorite Blue cheese and pear!
Now Back to school and Back to work with wonderful memories and pictures:

Actually, we never ate our tomatoes, you have to see it to believe it. Cute and very smart squirrels are visiting our garden. They work in tandem: one is on the top of the Tomatoe’s branch and bend it while the other one just below him grab the tomatoe with its 2 little paws..
Love this one from our Twin Moms Club…. How many kids fit in a jacuzzi?
