Last night in San Diego, we went to the parking lot of a wine warehouse/bar, 57 Degrees, to sample the wares of about 15 food trucks. On Thursday, out for a stroll on our first night in town, we walked past the Farm Truck, coming in at the end of the day to the restaurant […]
So after just being here in January, I’m back in San Diego again. In January I was here for the librarians conference – this time it’s food cooperatives. One nice thing is that in contrast to ALA, CCMA is small enough to fit into one hotel, in this case the Hard Rock – the picture […]
No food involved, except for thinking about dinner….Thai? Pizza? Leftovers? posted from my iPhone
Tonight for dinner I made two of the recipes from Heidi Swanson’s new cookbook, Super Natural Every Day. One of them I liked in principle; the other I plain old liked.

I’m on staycation, trying to clean and organize, and that’s a process that generally starts with high aspirations – I’m going to get everything just perfect – and then fails miserably. I’m just […]
On this day 24 years ago, my little brother got married. I packed my loose bottom tart tins in with my t-shirts, and called the pediatrician to make sure that my 10-week-old baby, John, was OK to fly on a plane (they said yes, just try nursing him at take off and especially landing to […]
I decided to grill tonight, the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, instead of one of the other days. I’d like to go to Bob Fest tomorrow, kids are here, etc., etc. Last year seemed a bit more festive. Al was back with another camp kid and it was already after the first week of camp […]
