Food Porn – The Red Edition

Last night I went to the local farmers’ market to pick up a few things. The strawberries have been out for a bit, but today was the first day (to me) that they tasted good. In fact, they were so red and sweet that I bought 3 cartons of them. I think I had 1 carton for dinner. art 011Tomatoes are just barely in season in Southern California, but surprisingly they were actually also very pretty and red. The strawberry tomatoes are my favorite. art 017 Bruschetta was added to the menu immediately! art 021 copy My friend Mike is throwing a birthday/dinner party for himself this weekend, and I’m responsible for dessert! I offered to make red velvet cupcakes as they are my his favorite. art 038The funny thing about these cupcakes (or anything red velvet) is that I don’t really even like dessert, but I’d do just about anything for red velvet cake!

    I am crazy about red velvet cake and I usually prefer savory over sweets, but a good red velvet cake is like a piece of heaven. I had some really good strawberries a few days ago, too.

    I miss CA produce. Somehow the strawberries at the markets here in TX don't compare.

    Name a few things that you have done for red velvet cake. I know how you teachers can be sometimes.
