The convention center was predictably packed for the Food and Wine show this weekend. I managed to skulk through the aisles and saw some good stuff:

Top Bite: the Hope Creamery salted butter on a cracker. One simply beautiful, creamy bit of elegance.

Harvest Moon

First of all, I swore that I would never move back home. I was city-bound and the suburbs could eat my dust, for all I cared. And I had a cute little house in Tangletown and lived a happy life with a 5-10 minute trip to an endless amount of food choices.

Funny how life gets in the way of life.

Citrus Sensation

Some people have gone out of their way to make a perfectly good Fuji apple smell and taste like a grape. They call it a Grapple. There are also those who feel that plums should taste like apricots and that apricots should taste like plums, hence the booming pluot and aprium markets. Needless to say, when I first heard of Meyer lemons, I assumed they were a breed of fancy Frankenlemons created at some technologically advanced Meyer Institute of Frilly Fruit. Like a fool, I snubbed them.

If you're one of those people who is annoyed by restaurant texters, thumbs madly pumping away on their phone while they ignore the others at their table, relax. They may be saving the ocean.

Day Off/On

Today is one of those odd holidays. Some people have the day off, others must work. Restaurants are clearly open, but school is closed. There's no real celebration or gift-giving or feast involved, but because it's an election year, maybe we should spend some time thinking about President's Day.

Or maybe we should buy a German sausage rug.

Or we could check out what Andrea Strong has to say about the New York food scene on her new blog.
