POPSOverly , Flirtatious It is possible to be overly flirtatious with food? Well, my “skinny jeans” seem to think so. I’m afraid I’ve been flirting with a few too many foods, too many times a day. Oops! Oh well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Enter “French Women Don’t Get Fat,” by Mireille Guiliano.

POPSApricot Season , JAM’s JAM Apricot Season - JAM’s JAM I grew up in the Santa Clara Valley and we had apricot trees all around us. Apricots reach their peak in July and I can remember lying under the trees reading a book and nibbling on the sweet, fat and juicy fruit. When I was about 12 or 13, my older sister and I, along with the kids across the street from us, hired out as farm workers cutting cots.

POPSLoire Valley, France I recently returned from a whirlwind trip through the Loire Valley in France. I visited the famous Chartres Cathedral, a cooking school in Orléans, a porcelain factory in Gien and the Sancerre wine-growing region, where I drank some incredible wines, including Menetou-Salon Blanc, which is by far my favorite wine from the Loire.

POPSFried , Pickles My recent trip to Nashville was quite an adventure. It was a big thrill to play Elvis’ 1948 Steinway grand piano in Studio B and get my photo taken with Charlie Daniels but being back stage at the Grand Ole Opry during a broadcast was a high point.

POPSIrish Cheddar Crouton It’s high summer here in Tiburon and certainly not the time of year to think about hot soup but Michael Chiarello’s Guinness and Irish cheddar cheese onion soup sounds delicious. Having just returned from Ireland I’m still in my Irish mode.

POPSMarseille, France I fell in love with Marseille on my very first visit. The sea and the hills Marcel Pagnol wrote about sang to me too. And the food, oh yes, the food! My mouth waters remembering incredibly delicious dishes filled with succulent fish, perfumed with herbs and spices.

POPSPumpkin , Pie Around this time of year I really miss my mother. She died back in 1987 but the memory of her pumpkin pies live on in my heart. Oh my how she could bake. Her pies were so light they seemed to float off the plate. The crusts so tender and flaky they would melt in your mouth.

POPSPork Chops , Garlic When I was a child we had an enormous fig tree in the back yard. Every year the tree would produce an abundance of fruit, much to the delight of my mother and grandmother. Personally I didn’t like them at all, although I loved Fig Newton’s. It wasn’t until I was all grown up and went to Italy that I found figs to be delicious, especially when served with a cool Vin Santo along with cheese and nuts.
