Over the various workrooms, offices, shop space and break rooms my department has about the theater, we have 4 microwaves and 3 fridges. The props people make coffee for the entire stage staff, an...
Here in the SF Bay Area, most of the CSAs I am familiar with are year-round. Mine certainly is.
I've been getting plenty of squash and greens and apples and citrus and carrots and t...
Funny timing. I stayed at a friend's house last night and we remade the bed for winter, as his house is freezing in the winter. He doesn't have a lot of blankets, so we threw a whole (no-hair) co...

Bi-Rite in SF has these.

I'm super busy, and I don't have the time to eat at home a lot. But I'm trying to eat at least one meal at home every day.
Oh man. I just made this, and it's SO GOOD!
