This is a look at the smoke that is hanging over much of my neighborhood in Beverly Hills California.
For those who follow along, I wanted to let you know that I will return to posting recipes and food stories next week, but for now I have paused, as this has been my view for the past 4 days…
This is an area of Beverly Hills, and the fires are a few miles to the north and west of us…the smoke is everywhere and it has been several days of waiting and worrying as the fires continue to spread….here is what I saw walking down an alleyway in the heart of Beverly Hills:
It hasn’t been the time to share food stories and recipes, but I will do so when the fires are contained and disaster relief is underway…thanks for understanding.

Oh my goodness, scary times John. I can’t even imagine the worry and concern. Hang in there. Praying this ends soon.
Hi John, I have been following about the fires on the news. I am so sorry. Hugs.
So sorry to see the fires and their overwhelming impact. Hope you, your friends and family are okay.
It’s so awful. I remember the heat of being near a fire and how extreme that was. I was housesitting for a professor in college in Montecito when there was a fire. The eucalyptus trees were exploding. Fortunately his house was spared. I hope you stay safe and your home is spared.
Oh my goodness. Please be safe. I heard LA was told to evacuate.
stay safe at all times, and I’m sorry for all going through this and hope to and ending soon
Oh my, stay safe my friend! We have all been watching all of this, holding our breath, horrified.
I think we all fully understand that this is not the time for travelogues and recipes, John. Take care my friend.
Best wishes, Pete.
Stay safe, John.
