It's November, and I think I've got at least three potlucks to attend in the near future. My crockpot is going to be busy! There seem to be more of them than there used to be. It could be that I just hang out with potluck-prone people and they're all feeling festive at the same time.…

I was in the grocery store this past weekend, and in particular I needed molasses and paper muffin cups. The plan: to make some bran muffins. The store was sold out of regular sized paper muffin cups, and molasses was nowhere to be found in the baking aisle. I know it's not the holiday… Read More »

It all started with a "no transfats, no corn syrup, no artificial sweeteners" mandate I gave myself to try to get a chronic health issue under control. I then figured out I needed eat more fiber. And now this has somehow morphed into an almost "no processed foods…

I roasted a few Yukon Gold potatoes with my chicken on Sunday, and I have to say, they are the tastiest potatoes ever. They tasted buttery and carmel-ly all on their own. If they hadn't been on sale at the store, I wouldn't have gotten them. I'm so glad I gave them a try! Oven roasted… Read More »

My friend Norma has a beautiful vegetable garden. She freely bestows extra veggies to her buddies, and recently saved a special one for me- a zucchini roughly the size and shape of two footballs put together. She had spent a long weekend away, and came back to find this monster squash lurking…

I was watching Charlie Rose this past weekend, and he had Nora Ephron and Meryl Streep as guests for "Julie and Julia." Charlie asked if they liked to cook, and if either of them had used Julia Child's cookbook. Nora said it was one of her favorites, and then said a favorite cookbook… Read More »

Last weekend, while I was doing some budget-minded, post-vacation grocery shopping at Trader Joe's, I picked up a six-pack of... Read More »

I always keep around a few bottles of inexpensive wines I enjoy as my "house wine", wines I can always go to if folks drop by unexpectedly, or if I need to grab something to bring along to an impromptu casual dinner. My current one is the Copolla "Rosso", or the Ravenswood… Read More »

I grew up on the East Coast, where we had real seasons. Here in SF, though, spring, summer, fall and winter are all pretty much the same. We might have a brief blast of heat in October. Otherwise, it's Fog City. Anyone else have the summertime blahs? I understand Portland has its fair share of… Read More »

I was never a big fan of Pinot, but after a tough day yesterday, I got into a bottle a non-drinking friend had passed on, and it was like the nectar of the Gods. Any recommendations for some good ones to try? I've got a McHenry 2002 open, and it's awesome. Read More »
