Great combination of flavors! Better at room temperature than hot! I toasted 1 cup walnuts in a medium-hot iron skillet, chopped them pretty finely, then added 1/4 cup to my crust, and saved the rest for the topping. I used Gorgonzola and 2 cups red and black seedless grapes, instead of a red/green combination! I omitted the egg wash, and immediately baked the foccacia on a Pyrex pizza pan, after it was assembled. Tagged for my Oh sooooo blue theme for My-3-Chefs 2013.

I love food and cooking and find that I all too often don't have as much time to spend in the kitchen as I'd like. I long for a new updated kitchen with a functional pantry that will allow me to actually spend productive time in the kitchen rather than spend it forever rooting around in cupboards to find some lost important ingredient. I love to surf the 'net to look for new recipes and food ideas and lunch hours at my day job (crop diagnostician) are often used for just that. Other than kitchen stuff my hobbies are gardening, quilting and reading.
