I am truly in countdown mode for Monday night’s Central Market class. Only 2 days until the big event. I have an interesting and I hope engaging format for teaching a bit about bees, honey and the benefits of both. My man, Dan is my head audio visual guy and he’s put together an entertaining […]
So avocado is green, right? Right! Mango does not come from anywhere near where I live but I went for it anyway, as they looked unblemished, plump and juicy! Today’s post of Avocado & Mango Salad is a delicious way to get into the mood for spring.
