Summer – enjoy it while it’s hot in Menlo Park

Cruising around Menlo Park on a warm August Sunday, iPhone in hand.

Squids are prolific now along the Coast and found fresh at the Farmer’s Market today where Pietro suggested an awesome Calamari salad.

Then they became part of outrageous seafood Cioppino stew, scooped over black ink pasta and topped with garden fresh herbs.

A grilled prime steak, heirloom tomatoes Caprese, sweet fresh picked corn on the cob tops off a Sunday feast.

Taking in the prolific blooming gardens along Johnson Street are here for free.

Mangia!
