The other night a couple of friends and I were sitting around talking burritos because if you live in San Francisco, this just happens. Mexican food is major to us but burritos are our everything. If you live in the Mission, you can discuss burritos for hours. Everyone has a favorite spot or two and […]

A few months ago, when we were all still pretty deep into COVID, I did my monthly Trader Joe’s run. I was bagging up my groceries and chatting with the twenty something cashier about my grocery selection. “These shrimp are so good.” he said. “Great on the bbq.” “Yes!” I practically shouted and then continued […]

Butterhorns are a family tradition for me. I’m from a family of bakers so making rolls from scratch was no big deal growing up but I know that recipes that involve yeast can be really intimidating.

A bunch of snobs have been talking trash about Iceberg lettuce lately and I’m here to talk trash back. They write about how tasteless it is, a throwback to the fifties, when no one knew what good food was. “It’s so American!!! So old fashioned, a throw back!!” they proclaim. It’s tasteless? No lettuce is […]

So I started to think about […]

Since I’ve been in quarantine I have thought a lot about the gross and tragic story of Typhoid Mary. She was the first person identified as an asymptomatic carrier of Typhoid Fever in the early 1900’s, a disease that causes fever, weakness, abdominal pain, a rash and sometimes death. A vaccine was created in the […]

I hate lettuce on sandwiches and hamburgers because it is always applied wrong. When done wrong lettuce is a second thought put on in the rush of burger and sandwich making. “For the crunch.” People mumble to themselves as they stick a leaf of limp, veiny, green, solidified watery vegetable onto the mayonnaise of their […]

Then he went […]

So I spent all winter, recovering from one cold or another, hugging my heater and watching The Great British Bake Off on Netflix. Oh my gosh, this show! So soothing and relaxing, so British!

Everybody talks about fresh cut fries like they’re a good thing but in reality, almost always, they are just okay. Ya, if you get them seconds out of the fryer when they are still soft and piping hot then they’re fine but that is rarely what happens. Or, what if you’re like me and want […]
