So glad to hear that your family is okay… my hope is that they have moved to a possible safe location and that all will remain. My heart goes out to them, your friends and colleagues… as well as California. Best wishes
Oh no. It's so hard top have family there and try to monitor from a far! But we found a really great App that has been so helpful to monitor the severity of the fires and the containment. It's called Watch Duty and it's been great! I'm sure you will find it helpful!
Great! Yes its super helpful and when you can see whats happening it can help you understand the situation better! And know when to worry and when it looks ok! 👌
Am writing from south of Sydney, Australia - we all are watching the news in horror as we know! Understand more than can be put into words. Only a few years back the area in which I live was surrounded by what we call bushfires for six long months slowly moving on three sides. We could not see across the street and slept on the floor because of the thick smoke indoors also. Were happy when food deliveries could get thru'! For days trucks could not move across police lines. All of the coastal areas were affected so there were no places where we could 'evacuate'. The winds were not quite as high as the Santa Ana ones and we had more water and firefighters arrived from across the world as I am certain they are in California. I can assure you all of us remember and are thinking of you and praying and hoping . . . .
Thank you! Yes it's really frightening when the various "routes out" become blocked! For that I finally convinced my parents to leave now while they can! They are in a hotel now outside the fire zone and I'm sleeping SO much better!! :)
Will do! Yes I finally convinced them to evacuate! And we are monitoring the old house. It's a bit scary as the winds bit up, it could spread further into our old neighborhood. Right now it's just "neighboring"
It really is! Poor California! It gives us all so much beauty, and in return it constantly battles for its survival! It feels so unfair! I'm really afraid for what I might find in February when I return for a visit. Yikes!
Beth thank you for the great recipe and especially now when you are so concerned about your family. I hope your parents are in a safe place. We lived in LA for 10 years and our hearts to go out to your family and all Angelenos during this incomprehensible disaster.
Thanks Meredith! It really unreal when you see images of places you have been 100s of times and have so many memories of, now be destroyed. It's just surreal! I keep thinking too of the wildlife! So horrible for them too.
Yes! Thankfully they evacuated outside the city! So they are OK. I'm going to try to convince them to stay there until more of these fires are contained!
So grateful your family is ok. We will stand with you for prayers for all and your former sweet home with new family. Our region was affected by hurricane hell-ene and we are still recovering. East TN and Western NC has never seen such destruction ever!!! We had extreme (not normal) flood waters and LA had fires. Both events overwhelmingly tragic and devastating. Hope they get to the bottom of who or what started this. Please keep us posted on your family and your former home. We will all overcome this.
Those hurricanes looked just awful! It was so sad to see so much destruction and loss! I just don't know how you build back from all that :( Thank you for your sweet words, my parents finally evacuated out of the fire zone and I'm so grateful for that! :)
Im grateful too that your parents are ok. Hopefully your past neighborhood is too and al the wonderful markets you shared with us. We will all recover God will turn this around for good.
On a happier note, I preordered your cookbook! Looking forward to getting it. Hope those plans are going well. Will you be coming to the states for book signings? :)
Beth I am so relieved to hear your family is safe and I will be praying for that to remain to be the case. I know you and Phillipe as well as the girls must know people directly affected by this nightmare and we are praying for them as well. Holding you all in a virtual bubble of light and protection. That fact that you produced content at all leaves me in awe. Can’t wait to try it and will let you know what I think!! ❤️❤️
Aww thank you Anne. Yes thankfully my parents have evacuated and our old house is still standing. It's so hard to be watching this from so far away. And yes we do have friends that have lost everything, it's just so awful. Hoping they get these fires contained soon! I just can't imagine how this could get worse! It's already so destructive.
Beth ~ I have been thinking about your little California home, and of course everyone affected by these horrific fires. My heart goes out to all. I see, in the comments that you have gotten your parents to evacuate which I am beyond pleased to hear. Hugs and safety to all, Doreen

Thanks Noel! Yes finally I convinced my parents to evacuate!!
May God bless and keep your family safe. We are in your home state of Connecticut, but our brother is in Santa Monica and we are all concerned, too.

Praying for all impacted by the LA fires.
Me too! It's so heartbreaking to see so much destruction and loss.
I'm hoping by now your parents have evacuated. What a sad overwhelming disaster. Please keep us updated on your family. and your old house, too.
Will do! Yes I finally convinced them to evacuate! And we are monitoring the old house. It's a bit scary as the winds bit up, it could spread further into our old neighborhood. Right now it's just "neighboring"
Sending love to your mom and dad. And everyone. It’s horrific.
Thanks Sally! It really is so unbelievable!
Oh, Beth, it’s so awful to watch our beloved California suffer from afar. Thinking of you and your folks. It’s all so heartbreaking.

Thank you, Beth. Please keep us posted on how your folks are doing. We’ve learned to love them as much as we love you. Maria S
Aww yes will do! I finally convinced them to evacuate! So they are safe outside the fire zone! Thankfully! I'm sleeping a lot better now :)
Horrific about LA & yes, we were concerned for your mom & dad. Saw his post saying they are ok.
Yes! They finally evacuated outside the city. So grateful for that!
Sounds delicious and easy. Would love to see the recipe for the cucumber sauce!
Prayers for your family and friends in California!
Oh sure! Here it is! Really great with fish too :) https://entertainingwithbeth.com/pan-seared-salmon-with-tzatziki-and-orzo-pesto/
I have been so worried about your folks. I have sent a few FB messages. As of now, they seem to be fine. My prayers continue. Love to you all.
Yes! Thankfully they evacuated outside the city! So they are OK. I'm going to try to convince them to stay there until more of these fires are contained!
Thank you, Beth, for the update. I agree. Hopefully, they will stay put until these fires are gone. Prayers continue. I love your family. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Whenever I watch your videos, I often think of your mom and dad and hope they stay safe.
