Mt. Diablo’s redeeming views
When I stepped out of the car at the Mount Diablo summit parking lot, my heart sunk. In a thicket of clouds dense with drizzle, the racing wind ripped my just-opened car door from my hand. The wind chill must have been in the low 30s; a brisk morning for mid-May.
Ripe tomatoes, a spiffy GHS update and a local hero
News flash: The Italian tomatoes are in – at long last – at LJB Farms on Fitzgerald just north of town off Santa Teresa. If you haven’t been, go. The tasty variety bursts with local, fresh flavor. A good piece of bread, a little mayonnaise, salt and pepper and sliced LJB Italian tomatoes on top. Now that’s good eatin’. Also, fabulous drizzled with Jeff Martin’s locally produced Frantoio Grove olive oil. It’s a treat to buy local and support the Bonino Family farm. Louie, the patriarch and sons Russ and Brent are hard-working guys who are always around, hopping off tractors and doing whatever it takes to keep the agriculture operation running. Mother, Judy, is like the farm office foreman and she always has a smile for customers and hires great kids to help out. It’s an American family farm operation that grows the sweetest corn around and it’s right in our backyard.
