Chef Gale Gand

My Easter Egg radishes (white, purple, magenta) I planted got out of control! Too big to eat so I did this. And the green and red branches are some radicchio I’m growing that bolted! Thank you, Molly Chapellet, for teaching me this years ago when you came to Trotter’s when you came and I worked there. Also finally started putting some flowers in my pots. It’s about time!

After filming in central Cali, I flew down to La Jolla to see my bro and sister in law and their new air bnb. What a view! I toured their “Gand Canyon” garden, and saw the bananas, pomegranates, and macadamia nuts growing plus picked a pink lemon and some rosemary for supper. Saw the play Purpose ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purpose_(play), went to an Avocado dinner, saw Alicia Keys and Swizz Beats’ art collection/exhibit “Giants” at the MCASD, had lunch at Sugar and Scribe (thanks chef Mauve!), tried Brick & Bell bakery’s scones and spinach quiche, and even had time for serious talks, plus, a few succulents followed me home so I made some planters with them. Wonderful visit!
