You may remember an entry I put up a week or so ago (http://sftaoofpao.com/2010/03/03/fiesta-de-comida-recetas-puertorriquenas-sin-sal) detailing a Puerto Rican dinner challenge I was going to have with fellow food celebrator, Jessica Goldman, writer [...]

In getting deeper into the “blogging” world, I’ve had an opportunity to meet a myriad of different inspiring personalities. One of the latest is my friend Jessica, who writes a blog (http://sodiumgirl.wordpress.com/) about living sodium free. Jessica was diagnosed with Lupus (an autoimmune disease) a few years back, but by incorporating a sodium free diet, [...]

Anyone who knows me well knows my one true love…red meat. In particular, I am a huge fan of steak. Ribeye, filet mignon, NY strip, skirt steak, London broil, flank steak, pepper steak. When it comes to steak, I am an equal opportunity eater – I love it all and I do not [...]

With this week’s planned Pao Pisco Pilgrimage (how’s that for alliteration?) through SF, figured I’d kick it off with a tasty recipe showcasing the primary ingredient. This libation comes to us from my go-to resource, Chow.com It is referred to as the “Inca Trail Cocktail,” which raises the question: Where does Pisco really come from? Peru (home to [...]

I first enjoyed this cocktail at a friend’s 30th birthday brunch in the Castro. The sweetness of the Elderflower complimented our host’s decadent alcohol-infused, granola-encrusted french toast. I doctored the original Chow.com recipe up a bit by adding sparkling ruby red grapefruit juice. It’s a great alternative to the regular weekend warrior mimosas. St-Germain elderflower [...]

Christmas is over, and if you are anything like me, you’ve probably been stuffed with rich tasty meats, heaps of mashed potatoes and yams and more cookies than you care to admit. As such, I thought this week’s recipe would be a healthier option. Found the original on Chow.com and have doctored it up a [...]

When I think back on Christmas memories from my childhood, I remember a multitude of locations and experiences shared across the globe. My sisters and I traveled back and forth between our parents homes each holiday. One year we’d spend Christmas in Hawaii with our mom, the next in California with our dad, brother and [...]
