The Peat-Fire Flame Duo have scheduled a House Concert on February 18, 2012, 7:30 p.m. in Montara, CA.

House concerts are getting very popular as musicians and audiences get together to celebrate music and the performing artists. House concerts were the norm in Europe in the Classical Era and all levels of society played an instrument. The population in general was very musically educated and family life often revolved around making music together.

More News and a Recipe from the Coastside Farmer’s Market

Friday, July 29th, 2011

by Erin Tormey

Well Marketeers,

Ever made a glaze of golden plums with local ginger and chives to levitate fresh halibut? Drizzle apricot and lavender vinegar over arugula and mache tossed in a yellow bowl with sweet orange cherry tomatoes and crumblings of a cheese called Capricious? Or macerated Airielle’s strawberries with Montara honey and Eda’s mint, then blasted them with a bit of aqua vita and a zapping of seltzer water and served it up in a clear blue glass from the 40s?
