Welcome to a slow, cozy week of backyard harvesting, cooking simple dinners and city life in Los Angeles, California. Today, we are harvesting fresh tropical dragon fruits and vibrant calamansi straight from our backyard edible garden. Watch as Josh transforms our fresh harvest into a refreshing carafe of homemade calamansi juice after we enjoy the sweet dragon fruit .
Later, we head into the kitchen to prepare a comforting meal of acorn squash with mixed seafood in rich coconut milk. Then, take a scenic drive with us through LA as we grab a delicious bowl of ramen at Jinya Ramen and head to the historic Pantages Theatre to watch 'The Outsiders.'
We close out the week with a home-cooked beef dish with colorful garden radishes, a fresh batch of calamansi juice, grilled lamb topped with homegrown rosemary, and a relaxing grocery run to Ralphs and Sprouts. Thank you for joining our slow living journey here in LA!
