At least they are today, thanks to my write-up about Rancho Gordo beans, the best dried beans you're likely to find. Read it. Enjoy it. Comment on it.
In other news, I'm told that issue 2 of Edible East Bay will arrive in stores very soon. Maybe even next week. It includes my article about Rosenblum Cellars and the folks who have been shaped by their time in the Alameda facility, as well as several other top-notch articles about the East Bay food culture.
And since this has become a Derrick-spotting post, I'll mention that I saw the final draft of my Mosel piece, which uses 5 of Melissa's photos, and I imagine it'll be available in a month or so. Finally, I sold a piece to a major wine magazine that should be out in the June or July time frame, but I'm keeping that a surprise: Let's just say it's a big departure from my normal sale. Don't worry about forgetting about these; I'll be sure to mention them again.

- Rosenblum Article Sidebar (and Correction)
Photo by Melissa Schneider. My sidebar didn't make it into my Edible East Bay, Issue 2, article about Rosenblum, so I decided to run the text here. The tasting notes cover wines that stood out as I researched the piece. I've also added the...

I'm taking advantage of the wireless networks that surround Sugar Sweet Sunshine on Manhattan's Lower East Side to point you to a couple tidbits. First is my profile of Kathy FitzHenry on SFist. Even on vacation I'm a good little columnist. Second,...
