In spite of that, I decided to make ribolita last week, a tuscan vegetable and white bean soup, with ribbons of greens and a broth thickened with hunks of staled bread crushed into the broth. Turning off all the lights in the living room we lit a candle and pretending at the fall season, it was so deeply satisfying. I followed with lentil soup, a very spicy lemongrass and coconut milk Thai green curry, followed by a hearty Japanese curry of potatoes, beef and carrots in an amber roux over rice. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I don\u2019t find it too controversial to say as a person of Scottish  heritage, I think I may have a genetic penchant for soup, an exhaustion of hot weather, and a deep love of wheaty hearth loaves. I abandoned home to get lost in the fog in Pacifica over the weekend, a place I\u2019ve always felt an affinity for. It\u2019s steep green hillsides, foggy environs, and craggy coastlines make me so at peace. I wandered the beach alone chewing on a crusty hunk of bread,  observing the swooping seabirds. I walked uphill to the library and flipped through giant art books and cookbooks awhile. More ambling ended me up in a tiny museum where the docent had a free hour to show me around  talking about native basket weavings, model trains, adobe ranchos, Italian artichoke farmers and such. I found a great cappuccino, read Steinbeck for hours, and thrifted a $5 forest green sweater that I wore all day long. I watched the molten sun break the mist and melt into the sea. At the Thai restaurant where I snuggled into a corner table for dinner with my book, the owner exclaimed that it was \u201cso hot today!\u201d. I laughed and nodded agreeably, the high had been a glorious 64 degrees. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I hope you find a way to crack the pressure cooker of your week, through delusional soup making or a disappearance into the coast not too far away. Don\u2019t forget the bread to take with you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s the fall equinox here this week, which unfortunately has coincided with baking through a pile of consecutive 95+ degree days.
