Last week I moved from my little cottage in San Francisco, and for two weeks before the move, our cottage stunk of rotten, moldy towels. It would be easy to imagine that the stench was due to a damp towel forgotten in a dark corner of my bathroom during the in the craziness of moving [...]

Driving by Japantown last weekend, I was seduced by the sight of a fair and by the possibility of street food I could discover. We were wandering through the Asian Heritage Street Celebration, among the suped-up cars on display and kiosks celebrating Asian food and culture, when a sign, Sukiyaki Rice Burger $2, caught my [...]

Every Wednesday, a box of organic veggies is delivered to my porch from Farm Fresh to You. It’s with excitement that I open the lid and dig through the veggies and decide what to cook for dinner. Last night I settled on roasted sugar snap peas and garlic with pasta in a creamy sauce accompanied by a salad of [...]

Fisherman’s Wharf on a sunny San Francisco day teems with tourists and seagulls. After living in the city for more than a few months, you tend to avoid the neighborhood as tryingly kitsch but there’s a reason all the tourists flock here: spectacular views across the bay and boat-fresh seafood. The summer fog still hasn’t [...]
