I think that brie pizza looks absolutely perfect the way it is, but then again I absolutely love fresh watercress atop pizza.<br/><br/>I wish you LUCK with your garden. This was my first year of gardening and some sort of creature ate every single plant TO THE GROUND that I planted. Even the pumpkins. Mind you, I surrounded the whole raised plot with chicken wire so there was no access at all by bunnies. I tend to think it was lizards and mice, but it seems weird. My strawberries and tomatoes are the only things left and those are on a different part of our property. Hope you have more success!! You and your eggs!

Early last spring, must have been March or April, the Food Stylist's Assistant for Blue Eggs, Yellow Tomatoes came to the Farmstand. Apparently, they were shooting art for the book and wanted to know if we had any blue eggs. Well, as you know Ali, those Araucana hens are a finicky bunch and they like to have a lot of grass and sunshine before they really start cranking out the blue eggs for the year. I told the woman that local production of blue eggs wouldn't be back up for another month or so. I remember feeling frustrated at the time- come on, Jeanne Kelly, why write a cookbook about your seasonal garden in LA and then come to Philadelphia (in early spring) to shoot your cover art? Needless to say, I didn't have blue eggs to offer her, nor yellow tomatoes. I can't help but wonder where they found some.... So here’s a funny little anecdote for you.
