from the garden to the table…

Over the weekend, I attended a cooking show fund raiser for the non-profit, From The Garden to the Table. This organization focuses on closing the gap of nutrition inequity in low-income communities.

flavor tripping berries?

This is interesting. I just read in the NY Times about Flavor Tripping parties, which center around a West African berry, named synsepalum dulcificum, that makes everything sweet. This is very enticing to a sweet-tooth gal like me.

lunch 2.0 at FamilyOven.com

Thank you, familyoven.com, for such a delicious lunch today. If I stayed at my office, I would’ve missed the exotic mushroom risotto and fantastic view in exchange for eating California Pizza Kitchen at my desk.

Who said there’s no such thing as a free lunch?

Whoever said there’s no such thing as a free lunch obviously doesn’t live in Silicon Valley. I get free lunches all the time. Five free lunches a week to be exact. (Not to mention five free dinners and endless snacks and soda– not unusual for Silicon Valley).
