Thursdays Recap: Early Fall Dinner Party!

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight for our first Thursdays in the Kitchen cooking class of the fall!

An OLT Field Trip: Farmers Market at The Orange County Great Park

If April is the cruelest month, Sunday may the cruelest day. Mixing relaxation and subtle dread of the coming work week, stirring that border between living and making a living. Luckily, Orange County is ripe with Sunday morning activities that can wring every last drop out of your weekend. The Farmers Market at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine is just such an activity. Held on Sunday mornings, this food, farm and crafts market is worth the trip… a trip that OurLocaltopia recently made. Check out our Great Park Farmers Market report, the edible booty we plundered and the meal it inspired.

Crafting A Lemon Verbena Gimlet – A Recipe & Gallery

We suggest fresh picked lemon verbena, but store bought will do as well.

Wash leaves. Choose leaves that have a healthy look and feel.

It’s hot as $@&#, right? This type of weather calls for a cocktail. OurLocaltopia has you covered!
