So, I'm taking my horse and wagon around the country. And the wagon is going to be full of one book, called "Food Heroes." It has my name on it too. And I'm going to be hawking it in town squares and such.That's how I like to envision it. It's quite possible it will be…
And I'm loving it. This place always offers up some strange experiences that I know I'll look back on when I'm 90 in the rocking chair on my porch whittling, and get a good chuckle out of. Like that time I was sitting next to the mayor and house speaker at dinner and didn't know…
...and I'm using an ancient machine with an ancient browser that doesn't let me do most things.Until the Apple (I'm switching to a mac, I'm scared) and Fedex gods bring me a new one, things are going to be mighty sketchy around here.

I've also had a few adventures, and…
This past weekend I got invited to Rodney Strong Vineyards for the kickoff of their summer concert series.
If you happen to be in the Sonoma area this summer you should go! There's nothing better than sitting outdoors with a picnic, a glass of wine and good tunes.
Then again it got pretty rowdy.…
When I was at Tulipwood a few weeks ago, I got to see all of the carnage left over from a massive wind storm a few months ago. Lots of trees went down like dominoes and let's just say it's going to take a very long time to clean up the firewood.But something interesting happened…
If I could pick a car to own right this minute, I believe it would be this one. My restaurant friend up in Sonoma County owns this one. He has a restaurant called Zin in Healdsburg and he grows his own vegetables and raises his own chickens and I imagine he carts them all around…
