What a better way to push back the end of summer by yet another camping trip?

Our good friend Eric of Gung Ho (formerly known as Seoul Patch) has been singing praises about Free Spirit Farms the moment we met him.

When the Free Spirit folks threw their second annual farm party, we packed Austin’s car with our little red stools, Asian candies and a bottle of Bulleit — and off we went!

Lots of industry folk were there to support Free Spirit; including Josey who brought his wonderful bread as well as Jeff and Roger who fired the famous PizzaHacker pies in a wood-fired oven.

Below are shots from an epic farm party, which was chock full of amazing food, music, people and most importantly — 15” gas-fueled bonfires.

We almost let summer pass us by. After doing tons of events — including the ever-so-crazy SF Street Food Festival — we had to go on a weekend trip to Tahoe (which we lovingly dubbed Tayhoe) to celebrate the end of festival season and let’s be real — turn off our phones, swim, soak up the sun, relax, and be in the company of good friends.

There’s nothing better than chasing the sun and water with our friends Andrew, Andria, and Josh (with an all-too-brief guest appearance from Jeff).

And having fun with our meals, pairing fun ingredients with Safeway-bought items. Katie fried up canned oysters and topped with with cucumbers and picked red onions and a dash of chiles. Andria invented the cheese waffle when she put sharp cheddar on her newly-seasoned cast iron waffle skillet. I roasted Bulleit-soaked marshmallows and subbed Hershey’s chocolate for Andes chocolate mints. With our extra graham crackers, Katie made a impromptu cobber with fresh peaches and used marshmallows in lieu of sugar.

We hope you guys had your fair share of frolicking this summer as well. Life’s too short not too.
