C

onfession: My first cocktail was a Tokyo Tea—and no, I wasn’t 21 yet. Thanks to my older sister who looks enough like me, I was able to start bar hopping much younger. Hopefully my daughter doesn’t follow in my rebellious footsteps, and if she does, let’s hope she has better taste, because the electric green Tokyo Tea isn’t exactly the most sophisticated of adult beverages. The good news?

Maturity has made me appreciate alcohol—as opposed to its effects—and the complexities of what can be done when it’s mixed, muddled, shaken, and stirred with fresh-squeezed fruits, syrups, or sodas. Current cocktail favorites i nclude N e g r on i s , homem ade ja lap eño cucumber margaritas (courtesy of my lingering summer garden), and well-made Manhattans. I still don’t discriminate when it comes to spirits, but at least I’ve graduated from pouring them all into the same glass, right?

Speaking of liquor, this month’s feature story, “Drink Up,” is all about alcohol. Pour yourself something strong and then turn to page 53 for 22 must-try cocktails (including the one on our cover from Land Ocean), plus some fun, informative facts about each establishment where they’re available. We also introduce you to four of our region’s most beloved bartenders, recommend home bar musthaves, spotlight local distilleries, and share a handful of beautiful (and boozy!) recipes courtesy of mobile mixologists. No matter how ominous the political (and actual) climate may be, at least we have cocktails to carry us through.

For those itching to get away without going terribly —Joe E. Lewis far away, we share five close-to-home destinations that are waiting to be (safely) discovered on page 44. For each locale, writer Suzie Dundas proposes places to stay and things to do, along with tips on finding up-to-date health guidelines. With more people able to work and learn remotely—so long as the Wi-Fi signal is strong—may I suggest a midweek escape? It may be just what the mental health doctor ordered.

In honor of autumn, we have a cornucopia of content dedicated to one of the most special seasons. Turn to The 10 Spot (page 18), for creative ways to welcome it—think Apple Hill adventures, foliage-filled drives, and harvest-inspired cooking classes.

Speaking of autumnal eats, this issue’s Taste department (page 78) includes mustmake recipes that highlight fall’s most versatile vegetable: the squash. Whether stuffed, roasted, or served as soup, this prized produce pairs perfectly with cooler temps. For all the pumpkin spice latte lovers out there, we have you covered, too. Flip to page 80 for “5 Perfect Pumpkin Drinks” you’ll want to sip all season long.

Happy fall, y’all—and remember: This too shall pass, so keep your spirits up...and flowing. Cheers!

#What’s Up?

by MEGAN WISKUS

PEOPLE & PLACES IN THE NEWS 

Happy birthday to Folsom resident Louise Morton who turned 102 last month. Morton was honored with a socially distanced walk-by celebration at her Diamond Glen community from prominent Folsom figures, including Mayor Sarah Aquino, Police Chief Rick Hillman, and Fire Chief Felipe Rodriquez. Morton’s four keys to longevity are exercise, a healthy diet, faith, and a positive attitude.

Newcastle resident Jackie DeMartini is serving a one-year term as secretary/treasurer of the Board of Directors for Soroptimist International of the Americas (soroptimist. org), a global women’s volunteer organization that provides women and girls with access to the education and training they need to achieve economic empowerment. Folsom-based real estate developer Elliott Homes (elliotthomes.com) has named Nick Elliott—president Harry C. Elliott III’s youngest son—as its new controller. The family-owned and operated company has been building communities and homes for 100 years in California and Arizona, including Lakeview Oaks at Empire Ranch in Folsom, Saratoga Estates in El Dorado Hills, and Rolling Greens Estates in Granite Bay. Four businesses in Roseville and El Dorado Hills, along with two in Rocklin and Folsom, were recognized in Inc. magazine for being among the country’s fastest-growing companies.

Congrats to Certent, Global Touchpoints, Blast Analytics, Environmental Heating and Air Solutions, VFP Consulting, PowerSchool, and Patra Corp. for making the list.

Yellow, orange, and red hues are everywhere this time of year, but for truly spectacular views of those familiar fall colors, drive to Coloma along the American River, up to Carson Pass and Hope Valley (we recommend extending your outing with a stay at Wylder Hope Valley), or down to Sutter Creek and Jackson for a sampling of nature’s most vibrant display.

GIVING BACK

Fall for Community Coming Together During COVID-19

BY TARA MENDANHA

Ever since the pandemic began, our ability to come together as a community has been curtailed for the most part. But leave it to the human imagination and creativity to come up with ways around what seems like an impossible hurdle, and you’ve got cleverly crafted events designed to keep us connected. We’ve found some such events that prove physical distancing doesn’t mean life comes to a standstill. Whether it be from our homes or safely in public, we can still partake in, support, and give back to our beloved communities.

Roseville BikeFest is back to spread the message that helmets save lives. Things will look a little different this year, and there actually won’t be any bikes—but there will be helmets (while supplies last)! The event on October 10 and 21 will allow you to drive by in your car and receive free helmets for the family. There will also be goodie bags for kids, and coupons for free bike safety inspections from local bike shops. roseville.ca.us/bikefest

November (6–8 and 13-15). Participating artists will display their works virtually and there might even be open studio tours by appointment. This recurring event gives you the chance to meet with artists, see how they work with various mediums, peruse and purchase art, and enjoy some of Placer County’s finest creations. placerarts.org

Run Rocklin is going virtual this year. How do you “run” virtually? Simple. Choose between three distances (5K, 12K, or half marathon), challenge your friends and family to sign up with you, and do your run/walk between October 25-November 8. You can even upload your results. The best part? You can run, jog, or walk on the road, on the trail, on the treadmill, at the gym, or on the track—and proceeds benefit the Matt Redding Foundation. runrocklin.com

SPOTLIGHT on

David Lobenberg

by HEATHER L. NELSON

Beginning his studies in meteorology at UCLA in the ’60s, the horrors of integral calculus and quantum mechanical physics soon steered David Lobenberg toward the College of Letters and Art. With a packed portfolio of drawings at the end of the semester, he was accepted into their art program where he’d earn his bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

“I discovered I was smitten with watercolor at the age of 16, after my parents signed me up for a class taught by Richard Yip who painted ‘wet on wet’—a very difficult and lovely technique,” shares Lobenberg.

“There are precious few options to correct or make color changes with watercolor; and, when mastered, the medium has a beautiful, spontaneous, and translucent life to it.”

Previously exhibiting his work at Elliott Fouts Gallery and Archival Gallery, the artist now sells most of his work through portraiture commissions and via his online California Vibe School of Watercolor™ art courses and Zoom workshops. He’s also been featured in prominent publications—including Southwest Art and Watercolor Artist—and served as an on-air expert at the KVIE Art Auction since its first broadcast in 1998.

HLN: WHAT IS YOUR ARTISTIC STYLE? DL: I work in pencil, charcoal, acrylic, and—within the past five years—mostly watercolor. I especially like portraiture and have developed a very expressive, colorful, and energetic style that I’ve coined California Vibe Watercolor Portraiture™. I’ve conducted workshops on this across the U.S.

| arts & entertainment | and Canada, which my artistic life revolved around until COVID19, after which my workshops moved to Zoom and ruzuku.com. I love teaching my style to fellow watercolor enthusiasts. My favorite definition of the medium, “controlling the flood,” came from the pen of José Montoya—once poet laureate of Sacramento and member of the Royal Chicano Air Force.

HLN: HOW DID YOU FIRST DISCOVER YOUR TALENT? DL: I grew up with a pencil in my hand. When I was in second grade living in Stockton, the school nurse contacted my parents expressing concern that I did all my creations in pencil, shying away from color crayons and paint. Through the years, as they witnessed my talent blossom, the nurse’s concern became something to laugh about.

I later realized that at that young and tender age, I had an innate appreciation and interest in controlling my dark, middle, and light values as I drew! During my workshops, I often say “value does ALL THE WORK and color takes ALL the credit.” Value control is the bedrock foundation of drawing and painting.

HLN: YOU BEGAN IN GRAPHIC DESIGN. WHAT LED YOU TO FINE ART? DL: I entered the workforce as a budding graphic designer in Los Angeles and put my art sensitivities to work to earn a living. I was in this business for about 30 years, through which I met and married my wife, Cheryl.

We’re both graphic designers and established Lobenberg Graphics in Sacramento in 1982, but I’d often use my painting talent for clients like Mercy Hospital, the California

Q: WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS TO ARTIFICIAL GRASS? A: There are three main benefits to using artificial turf: little water usage, no maintenance or associated costs, and it stays green year-around. Artificial turf is not only drought-friendly but leaves you with a desirable space, unlike other drought-tolerant yards; in addition, no maintenance means you can focus on the things you enjoy doing in your yard, like spending time with friends and family.

Q: WHEN IS THE IDEAL TIME FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT? A: The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends a check-up with an orthodontist no later than age seven. Braces usually begin between the ages of eight and 14 when a child has lost most of their primary teeth and the majority of permanent teeth have grown in. Although childhood is the ideal time to align teeth, more adults are opting for orthodontic treatment and coming away with excellent results. The AAO notes that one in five orthodontic patients is currently over age 18.

The Future of Design

by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID

In my latest trend research with the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), several ideas bubbled to the surface. We discovered that form is following function in a whole new way, accommodating not just actual use but serving the way different generations, individuals, and family units design their home space—especially kitchens and baths. Here, we share the four overarching themes that emerged.

want their kitchens to promote human interaction—and the connected devices, appliances, and systems will be in place to serve that end. Open-plan kitchens will be inviting, cozy, and warm—perhaps to take the edge off all the tech—and will need to work for different styles and skill levels of cooks. For 82%, inclusion is important, especially with visibility from the kitchen to other parts of the living space. Other top priorities? Spaces that are conducive to entertaining and the need for strong Wi-Fi and Internet connection to call up recipes, cooking inspiration, and instruction.

Connected Living It’s easy to assume that “connected living” means connected devices, WiFi-enabled products, smart appliances, and home theater. But because the world has become so “connected” in the technology sense, it’s important to emphasize the connection among people, too—something most of us crave now more than ever. Homeowners

The days of tchotchke-filled rooms are becoming a thing of the past, so appropriate storage becomes key. Some 80% of respondents said minimizing clutter, cleaning, and a sense of organization is a critical design request; 69% want their bathrooms to be an escape; and 61% design spaces for easy meal prep—think plenty of countertops, easy access to tools and ingredients, and non-congested layouts. This includes utilizing cabinetry that organizes more in less space and specifying low-maintenance material choices or commercial finishes and fabrics that are easy to clean and long-wearing.

| home & garden | Living in Place The concept of “living in place” works for everyone—today, tomorrow, and for multiple generations living in the same dwelling. Among designers and architects, 67% expressed the desire for clients to remain in the family home as the top factor influencing this type of design. This was followed by 65% who said ensuring the bathroom is a safe and comfortable space for all generations, and 59% saying kitchens that are safe and easy for all ages and skill levels to use. Among the top design solutions are non-slip flooring or tile in the bathroom, tub, and shower; putting a seat in the shower; and zeroclearance shower entry or no doors, wider doorways, and attractive, noninstitutional-looking grab bars.

Healthy Living

To meet these needs, design solutions for the kitchen include more refrigerator space and flexible cool drawers to accommodate fresh produce, meats, and dairy; giant sinks to clean all of that produce; integrated areas to prep meals; and recycling and composting centers.

In the bathroom, health and wellness elements include body jets in the tub or shower, aromatherapy, a sauna, chromatherapy, and shelves for candles.

Some even cited a float tank for sensorydeprivation therapy among elements promoting the bathroom as a spa-like place to escape, relax, and heal the body.

Finally, the fourth major influence, which is becoming increasingly crucial in today’s environment is healthy living.

Healthy lifestyles include a deeper connection with nature via maximum views to the outdoors, taking advantage of morning light, and balancing circadian rhythms with lighting; wide, zero-entry doorways to outdoor areas; selecting natural materials, like warm woods, natural stones, and reclaimed woods and metals; and quite significantly, according to the research, healthy eating.

Get Away Without Going Far Away Even though your South African safari may have gotten postponed this year (along with every other overseas adventure), you’re in luck: Our region is full of scenic, adventure-filled locales that are waiting to be discovered.

At each of the destinations below, masks are required in all indoor spaces and when you’re unable to socially distance outside. Ready to (finally!) travel? Grab your quarantine crew and check out the places below.

FIND SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE IN SLO

San Luis Obispo (SLO) is a great weekend destination from Sacramento, at around four hours away by car. Because of the variety of small towns in the area, there's something for everyone, even if you like different activities. Wildlife Stables Inn and outdoor enthusiasts will love kayaking through Dinosaur Caves near Shell Beach or spotting massive elephant seals in San Simeon, while wine aficionados will enjoy a gentle winery cycling tour through the Edna Valley or picnic at one of Paso Roble’s picturesque vineyards. Prefer quirky attractions?

Take photos in “Bubblegum Alley” or Picnic in Paso Robles Wine Country do a self-guided drive down historic California Stables Inn State Route 1. Visit highway1discoveryroute. com to explore a map of the best roadside stops.

WHERE TO STAY: Book a room at Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort & Spa (sycamoresprings.com) for private hot springs tucked onto a wooded hillside,

meditative gardens, and more.

If you’re traveling with the kids, book the Bunk House at the newly renovated Stables Inn (stablesinnpaso.com), which sleeps six comfortably and includes access to outdoor fire pits, plus a communal table, locally roasted coffee, and Western chic décor.

DON'T MISS: If cycling isn't your thing, book the zipline tour with Margarita Adventures (margarita-adventures.com)—it soars over Dinosaur Caves pinot noir vines and pairs well with a reserve tasting at nearby Ancient Peaks Winery (ancientpeaks.com). Be sure to make reservations for both, since capacity is limited.

HEALTH: Visit slocal.com for info on current health, opening, and mask requirements throughout the region.

HEAD TO THE NEVADA SIDE Lake Tahoe is split between California and Nevada, and the Nevada side is arguably the prettier of the two.

That's because much of the shore is protected land with a plethora of public beaches, parks, and hiking trails hugging the shore. For a beautiful outdoor adventure, walk or bike the new Tahoe East Shore Trail, which runs past some of the best views in Tahoe. And whether you stay on the north shore (in Incline Village) or the south shore (in Stateline), there are plenty of breweries,

TRY A NEW WINE COUNTRY If you live in the Sacramento area, you've probably been to most of the wineries in Napa Valley. So instead, head south.

A few sites are available with both trailers and tents, which are ideal for large families traveling together. And the best part? While campsites and hotels typically fill up months in advance inside the park, you can usually find rooms available at AutoCamp without too much notice.

WHERE TO STAY: The custom trailers will give you serious vintage vibes, but if you need more space, ask about an X Suite. The rentable tiny homes are all ADA accessible, making them perfect for travelers who value having a little extra space.

DON'T MISS: The Yosemite Valley is home to some of the park’s best hikes, including the famous Mist Trail and nearly flat Valley Floor Loop, which passes sights like El Capitan and Yosemite Falls. For easy access to and from the park, hop on the YARTS shuttle at the entrance of AutoCamp.

Sited in a grove of native redwoods and a stone’s throw away from some of Sonoma County’s most buzzworthy wineries, the Russian River, and downtown, the location here boasts the same luxurious Airstreams and glamping tents as their Yosemite locale, with the addition of Wi-Fi—which means you can book a midweek stay and (literally) work remotely.

ADVENTURE IN BEND Head to Bend, Oregon, one of the most en vogue towns in the Pacific Northwest.

Why is this town so beloved? Easy: It offers a great mix of outdoor adventure and an artsy-meets-hippie culture. Head out on a beginner bike ride with Cog Wild Tours (cogwild.com), which can take your group to the trailheads in a private shuttle to avoid significant uphill climbs. Not a biker? Book a hike in an underground lava tube with Wanderlust Tours (wanderlusttours.com). The company also hosts other fun-filled fall and winter expeditions, including a “Full Moon & Starlight” photography tour and “The Local Pour,” where you explore (and sample) the city’s myriad craft beverages.

Speaking of booze, if you’re a beer fan, you're in luck: Bend is home to more than two dozen breweries, 15 of which are included on the town's "Ale Trail" passport program. Be sure to make time to check out the unique galleries and

Of course, a well-made martini will never go out of style, and a classic cosmopolitan is always a safe bet, but why not (literally) shake things up with a more creative cocktail? Here, we profile 22 of our region’s signature sips.

Zócalo’s J.A. Blackberry Margarita is named after one

of their previous bartenders who created the drink: Joe Anthony Savala. Thanks to its simple yet quality ingredients, you can savor and appreciate everything that goes into the drink—including 100% blue agave tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, cut agave nectar, and organic blackberry purée.

Aaron Blitvich MILESTONE

Christy Martel POOR RED’S BAR-B-Q

6221 Pleasant Valley Road, El Dorado, 530-622-2901, poorreds.com

How long have you been bartending? 14 years.

Best part of your job? The camaraderie between my customers and me— all of us coming together for good company and delicious cocktails.

Favorite cocktail to make? The art of making the perfect martini, from guest to guest, varies as much as a sunset. Seeing the satisfaction on someone’s face when I've made it just right is why I love making and drinking them.

What do you drink at home? I’m currently enjoying a glass of Via Romano Vineyard's Celeste Rosé, but I've been known to party.

Fill in the blank: Dear customer…I do what I do for you. Don’t get me wrong: I love the craft of creating a delicious cocktail and my fellow bartenders, but without my amazing guests and the relationships I’ve built from behind a bar, I wouldn’t be the bartender I am today. Thank you for your continued support over the many years—especially this one.

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? You’ll find me at Poor Red’s (the eclectic group of people keep me there even after a shift) or a local winery.

How long have you been bartending? 24 years.

Best part of your job? After years of honing my craft, I’m able to read a human and see what they need—whether that be a smile, a belly laugh, a hug (which is tough these days), someone to just listen, an inspired piece of culinary delight, or a shot of bourbon. Connecting to people with complete sincerity is what makes it real. Plus, the team at Milestone is like family.

Favorite cocktail to make? While I enjoy the simplicity of the classics, I also love the tiki culture and island vibe. There are so many directions you can go when there are no rules. I was lucky enough to represent California in the National Mai Tai Championship 2014 in Kona, Hawaii, and it left a positive mark on my creative process.

What do you drink at home? My space is typically filled with light lagers, a mix bag of spirits, and local wines.

Fill in the blank. Dear customer…Jump in my car, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Someone once said on Yelp, “Being served by Aaron is like a ride at Disneyland. You never want to get off.” So, let me steer, and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? Like Sam Malone, you don’t often see him anywhere else but Cheers. I also enjoy finding hole-in-thewall, off-the-beaten-path dive bars.

Best bartending tip? Always seek knowledge; pick a new spirit or wine every day, learn something about it, and then empower your guests. Also, never stop creating, taste your cocktails, move with purpose, smile, and be kind!

How long have you been bartending? 11 years.

Favorite cocktail to make? Old World Manhattan or Visconti’s Old Fashioned and Pomegranate Martini.

What do you drink at home? Scotch, whiskey, or bourbon—neat—or something simple like a 7 and 7.

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? Anything local. I'm a big supporter of our community.

Best bartending tip? If you’re willing to be a bartender, you must have personality, make a good drink, and allow people to laugh with—or at—you.

PAUL MARTIN’S AMERICAN GRILL

1455 Eureka Road, Roseville, 916-7833600, paulmartinsamericangrill.com

How long have you been bartending? This year will be 30—yikes!

Best part of your job? The relationships I've built with our regulars over the years. I try to make every guest feel comfortable and love to see everyone socializing and enjoying themselves. I also enjoy hearing people's stories and learning about them. And, of course, my coworkers are pretty great, too!

Favorite cocktail to make? One that blows my guests socks off, especially if they’re trying something different. But I do like to make a nice, cold martini.

What do you drink at home? I like experimenting with different drinks, the regulars are wine, vodka and Diet Coke, vodka and Squirt, or Scotch.

Fill in the blank: Dear customer…I can’t tell you how many times I've heard, “I've always wanted to be a bartender. It looks so fun." It is fun, but it's not easy. If your bartender makes it look easy, they’re a great bartender. It's very physical, there’s a lot of responsibility, and it takes skill to make a great drink.

What bar do you frequent when you’re not working? The best quarantine bar right now is the one at my house!

Best bartending tip? Put a smile on your face and never let your customers see you sweat. No one likes a stressed-out bartender.

skaton’s continued commitment to innovation is keeping residents connected and truly Transforming the Aging Experience.

To provide residents with senior living environments where people of all ages and abilities thrive, Eskaton partnered with K4 Connect to offer a resident and family member app and voice-enabled smart home technology. The first senior living organization in California to offer this technology to all residents, Eskaton has been integrating these tools since 2018. With the need to increase connectivity between residents and their loved ones, Eskaton has since scaled this technology across 12 communities and has deployed over 1,500 Alexas.

SECTION

Working in tandem, the Eskaton Connect app and Alexa enable residents to video chat with their families and other residents, call the front desk or ask about the events of the day. Recently added features allow the communities to share announcements, streaming content, and additional activities to keep residents entertained and engaged while spending more time at home. For those residents with little-to-no experience with technology, the app makes it easy for them to stay connected.

“Eskaton has always believed that keeping families involved is paramount to the well-being of our residents. During these unprecedented times, communication is now more important than ever. By providing this technology to our residents and their families, both are able to stay connected, engaged and informed,” said Sheri Peifer, Chief Strategy Officer.

Implementing new technology to improve resident experience has always set Eskaton apart from other organizations in the region.

Now it is ensuring that our residents are better connected and more engaged than ever, just when it is needed most.

Hyderabadi Vegetable Dum Biryani

Medu Vada

Masala Dosa

A

s of this writing, it’s late summer 2020, and outdoor dining is still the mandate. To compound the issues, our friends in the hospitality industry are facing unusually warm weather, and the air is dense with smoke from the fires that seem to be a yearly cycle here.

But through the apocalyptic forecasts of some, there are still determined entrepreneurs providing soulful sustenance to those of us willing to seek it.

And so it is with Porottas, a Roseville restaurant serving scratchmade South Indian cuisine. On my recent visit, owner Kavita Mohan greeted me at the door with menus before I proceeded to the makeshift patio. First up was medu vada—three savory doughnutshaped fritters made with urad dal (black lentil) batter served alongside coconut chutney and sambar. The latter is a lentil-based vegetable stew/dip that can be prepared to suit your capsaicin tolerance. Even though medu vada is typically eaten for breakfast or as a snack, I would love to have it as an appetizer with a cold IPA (beer and donuts? Yes, please!).

Next, I followed Kavita’s recommendation and ordered Hyderabadi vegetable dum biryani, which is a mouthful—both figuratively and literally. The aromatic entrée featured fresh vegetables marinated with yogurt, alongside fried onions, spices, saffron, coriander, and cashews cooked with long-grain basmati rice. Served with raita and salan (a curry-style condiment), the flavors and textures in this dish seem to come at you from every angle: the savory vegetable and spice-infused basmati, the fiery and fragrant cumin/chili/tamarind salan, and the cooling raita sending waves of sensory stimulation to your frontal lobe.

Finally, what seems to be everyone’s favorite: the masala dosa.

For the dosa neophyte, it’s a crispy crépe made from lentil and rice batter. The masala version from Porottas is massive, and it conceals a 4”x4” portion of warm potato masala (seasoned potato “salad”). For me, the combination was a bit bland, although the chutneys and sauces served with it added some balance. Next time I’ll opt for the rava onion masala dosa and increase the heat level. I’ll also leave room for a mango lassi, chai tea, or Kumbakonam coffee (a piping hot blend of frothed milk and fragrant, fresh-ground coffee beans), for which I will undoubtedly return soon, Stop in and try all of Kavita’s family recipes; you won’t be disappointed.

Reset: Café By Day

// Mysterious happenings occur every evening at a new locale in Historic Folsom. Perhaps it’s the spirits of inhabitants from a century past, or just some spirited trickery and unique décor by owners John and Tahni Voelz—I’ll let you decide. I can tell you this: Every day at 4 p.m., the café “resets” into a nighttime venue replate with live music on weekends (when COVID-19 restrictions lift), different lighting and uniforms, and a happy hour from 4-6 p.m. (Monday through Thursday).

But no matter which iteration you choose to attend, they continue serving a carefully curated, eclectic menu—as well as hyperlocal beer and wine (sourced within a one-hour drive of Folsom), coffee, and tea. I stopped in on a Sunday for brunch and was rewarded with their California Brunch Board and Soppressata and Fig Flatbread coupled with some fresh–brewed black iced tea. The brunch board included rosemary ham, fresh fruit, avocado mash, brie, sliced baguette, fig jam, my pick of two, house-baked pastries (I chose a seasonal scone and morning cookie that was packed with oats, sun-dried apricots, and warm spices with a white chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios), and other assorted accoutrements. The spreadable brie was topped with a tantalizing square of honeycomb, whose flavor and texture immediately transported me back to my childhood when a neighbor would tempt us with it fresh from the hive. The scratch-made flatbread—which featured fig spread, goat cheese, salty soppressata, crushed pistachios, and a blend of mozzarella and provolone—was a hit and the perfect “shareable” for a brunch party. Reset’s menu also includes fresh salads, paninis, gourmet toasts, and charcuterie (with a “char-kid-erie” option for little ones), along with an Italian espresso-style coffee bar, mimosas, beermosas, and more—making it an anytime spot for weary tourists or local foodies alike.727 Sutter Street, Suite B, Folsom, 916-358-9162, resetfolsom.com—Lorn Randall

Bake for 30 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

In a small saucepan, bring quinoa, vegetable stock or water, and a pinch of sea salt, to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
