Just a quick heads-up that I will be a guest on a radio show tomorrow morning!  The Gourmet Club, a local internet radio food show, will be featuring San Diego food bloggers this week!  Tune in on your computer to hear me talking about food, blogging, and the San Diego food scene with a couple of other San Diego bloggers that you probably know: Alice from Alice Q. Foodie and Amanda from What We’re Eating. The show will be hosted by Caron Golden of San Diego Foodstuff and Maureen Clancy of Matters of Taste and is sure to be a lot of fun!

The Gourmet Club airs this Wednesday from 11:00 a.m. til noon (PST), but if you aren’t able to listen live on your computer, the show will also be available as a podcast.  For more details about tomorrow’s show, visit San Diego Foodstuff.

And, if you have specific questions you’d like to ask us, leave a comment on Caron’s blog before 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning or call in to the show live at 866.818.6384.

Hope you get a chance to listen!

Actually, there are two winners.  But you knew that already, right?

First of all, I want to say how thrilled I am that so many of you participated in this contest.  I read every single one of your comments and I wish that I could send a gorgeous new knife to each of you!  I am glad that I decided to select the winners randomly because I would never have been able to choose between the 329 readers who left comments!  So many sad stories and so many sad knives!

But let’s get to winners, shall we? Continue reading →

Well it’s been a while, hasn’t it?  We’re all settled in at the new house and although there’s still tons of work to do, it’s slowly shaping up and we are loving the new place more and more each day!

And now that I’m officially back to blogging, I thought I’d start things back up with a bang!  I have two gorgeous kitchen knives to give away thanks to the wonderful people at New West Knife Works.

As a food blogger, I am constantly bombarded with requests to write about new products.  For the most part, I kindly decline these offers.  But when I got an e-mail from New West Knife Works, I was instantly intrigued. Continue reading →

Well, I had planned on this being another wordless Wednesday, but I think I owe you a few words since I haven’t had the chance to write much about food lately.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that we recently pu Continue reading →

Now that the photo lab has re-opened for summer school, I was finally able to retrieve my final project and final portfolio.  I had turned in on the last day of my black and white photography class and since it was (slightly) late, I wasn’t able to take it home with me right away.  My final project was about food, of course.

Moving back to the United States has been a mixed blessing. I still think about Sicily every day and I miss so much about it. But living overseas wasn’t always easy and wonderful. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything, but I will say that we endured enough stress and hardship in those four years to last a lifetime. From burglaries to natural disasters to lengthy separations, we did it and we survived. Continue reading →
