Mar Vista Farmer’s Market Wrap-Up: Guest Poster Today
Hello Mar Vista Mom Readers,
Mar Vista Mom is visiting a Mission with her fourth grader this weekend so she asked me, Elise, of Elise’s Ramblings, to
guest blog. My subject, Chelsea Magdaleno, is an amazing photographer, so she
wanted to take the pictures. Unfortunately that means she is not in them, but
they are lovely.
Chelsea is making a Burrata cheese appetizer today.(This is not Chelsea. It’s the cheese guy.)
(And this is the cheese.)
She will
be dicing the tomatoes, basil and garlic,
and putting them on a large platter
then drizzling “good” olive oil over them, and sprinkling it all with Kosher
salt and fresh cracked pepper. Then she puts the burrata cheese (this is a
mozzarella-type cheese but with more cream) in the center.
She serves it with a sliced baguette, crackers, or just by
itself.
I’ve actually been fortunate enough to have had her bring
this to my house for a party. It is fabulous, but it doesn’t last long so make
sure you get some before it’s gone, if you decide to make it.
Thanks for having me, it was fun!
Elise

Sunday Feature: Mar Vista Farmer’s Market Wrap-Up
This week’s special guest is Mar Vista Dad. Well, that’s not his real name, but since he’s my husband, he can be known that way. He’s also a wonderful cook and he decided to make fresh tomato pasta sauce with these beautiful tomatoes
House of the Week
Sunday Feature: Mar Vista Farmer’s Market Wrap-Up
Today was a blustery day in Mar Vista, cold, windy and rainy, and only the heartiest of shoppers were there first thing when the market opened. One such hearty soul was Agnes Anderson, from the Sivananda Yoga Vendanta Center, who was picking up the ingredients for some split pea soup. The perfect thing to have on a chilly day.

Today I checked in with my friend Craig Jaffe as he shopped for dinner for his family, and it sounds really yummy! (That’s Craig on the right.)
Craig is what we call a “Major Volunteer”, by the way (and so is his wife; must run in the family). He’s co-President of Mar Vista Elementary’s booster club, the MVSEG, he’s a cub scout den leader, AND he’s a coach on his son’s little league team up at North Venice Little League, which is where I run into him about three times a week now that the season is in full swing. Oh and by the way, he runs his own business, The Jaffe Insurance Agency. It’s amazing he has time to cook, much less make such amazing food!
