There's a #wormfarm in south Phoenix! @azwormfarm is a "full cycle" farm: growing produce using the worm castings from #redwigglers digesting #foodwaste. They are also teaching Phoenicians how to set up their own #vermicompost systems. Learn more about this farm's #sustainable goals in my piece for the @ediblephoenix summer issue, out now around town. #worms #worm #vermiculture #urbanfarming #phoenixfarms #phoenixfarm

Phil woke up early to make me breakfast before I needed to head off to a work conference: balsamic braised shredded chuck roast (from @double_check_ranch ) with an over easy egg (from Community Exchange Table) with @blueskyorganicfarms salad greens on @noblebread toast. Also, blackened shishito peppers (from @steadfastfarm ) and Blue Sky strawberries and @sarahbeallc ungranola over yoghurt. Everything is local except for the yogurt and blueberries. What a send off! #eattherainbow #loyallocal #loyallocalloot #eatmostlylocal #locallygrown #madeathome #breakfast

If you haven't yet heard, we will be moving back to the Midwest later this summer. I will miss so many relationships, events, and experiences here --and also #PaneBianco being a few minutes from my home and work. Thank you @pizzeriabianco for publishing your cookbook so I can attempt this greatness from afar. #chrisbianco #PHXeats #cenpho #phoenixeats #phoenixrestaurant #Phoenix #blt #thingsiwillmiss

Now that I've been back from #Spain for a few days, I can more fully summarize my two weeks there: It was amazing and exhausting, full and relaxing. I learned a small amount of the history and culture of separate regions through food, a cooking class, monuments, museums, and conversations with friends there. I tried to soak up how people there so prioritize relationships so that work does not seem to be the focus of every day. I contemplated both my privilege to be able to travel there fairly simply and the difficult history of Spain's influence on parts of the world. I have returned to Phoenix feeling rejuvenated and hoping to, of course, carry parts of the culture and conversations there into my life here. #España #espana #spain🇪🇸 #spanishvacation #Barcelona #madrid #alicante

We, of course, made time to enjoy some #futbol while in #Barcelona.... or did we? . . . . @museumofillusions #museumofillusions #madeforinstagram

The beautiful bathroom in our Airbnb in #madrid, where someone along the way said, “Yep, more tile... and this time in the shape of my favorite characters!” #batman #mario #superman #ultron (I think) are in my shower. #spainvacation

In #Madrid? Check out #CookingPoint's classes. We made sangria, patatas bravas, chorizo a la sidra, gambas al ajillo, tortilla española, pan con tomate, and, for dessert, crema Catalana. (Like creme brulee, but with citrus zest and cinnamon instead of vanilla bean, according to Chef Angel.) . . . . . #Spanishcuisine #España #viajeaespaña #spain🇪🇸 #Spain

Enjoying cooking a slew of tapas and a dessert with Chef Angel. Oh, making and drinking #sangria too. #bienvenidoaespaña #España #cookingpointmadrid #spain🇪🇸 #spanishvacation #madrid #cookingpoint

So much food everyday. Muchos #jamoniberico #jamónibérico y otros carnes y pan y vino. This is only a couple tapas plates. Oy. Voy a necesitar ropa nueva cuando regresar a los Estados Unidos. Pero, vamos a Madrid y Barçelona primero. #vacationinspain #alicantegram #Alicante #España

A walk into the Mediterranean... with my feet looking weirdly long. #alicantegram #Alicante #España #spain🇪🇸

Panoramas of the beach from #castillosantabarbara + me looking into the sun to take a selfie. #alicantegram #Alicante #España #Spain

2018 is going down as the most eventful of my life. Incluyo un viaje a #España. #Alicante #alicantegram
