Noteworthy Nibbles — Aug. 4-11 2009
So you weren't able to make it to last week's Maine Lobster Festival? Breathe easy, because this weekend presents a whole new plethora of opportunities. Choose between watermelon, sweet corn, elephant garlic, country cornbread, and others.
Noteworthy Nibbles — July 7-14, 2009
July's biggest holiday may have come and gone, but there's still so much to celebrate in the realm of Summer eats — whether it's salmon, sandwiches, or super-sized ketchup. Next Tuesday, don't forget to raise your glass to France's independence day. I plan to hightail it straight to my nearest French bistro to enjoy some moules frites.
Come Party With Me: Dolores Park Picnic — Drinks
Typically when we go to Dolores Park on a sunny day, everyone brings a bottle (or two, or three) of wine. However, since this picnic is a plan-ahead event — rather than the normal impromptu affair — I'm making a special drink. Fresh-squeezed lemonade comes to mind when I hear the word picnic and this blushing pink version is prefect because it's spiked with vodka and sour cherries.
Come Party With Me: Dolores Park Picnic — Desserts
Although one can buy the famed Bi-Rite ice cream around the corner and creme brulee in Dolores Park, I still plan on making a delicious picnic dessert for my sister and her friends. The menu is healthy and light, so this theme will continue with a fruity, melt-in-your mouth crumble.
I chose this recipe because it utilizes blackberries: I'm always making sweet treats that feature strawberries or blueberries, but rarely plump juicy blackberries.

Yum's June Must Haves
This morning when I woke up and realized it was the first day of June, only one thought came to mind: hello Summer! With its warm weather and long days, June is a perfect time for outdoor cooking and alfresco entertaining. Whether you're hosting a chic soirée by the pool or packing up your family for a picnic in the park, here are six items that will make your month magnificent and memorable.
Happy Hour: 2007 Schloss Schönborn Estate Riesling
It's National Riesling week and while you could enjoy a discount on European Riesling at a number of restaurants in New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, and Las Vegas, you can just as easily celebrate by sipping a bottle in the comforts of your own home. I highly recommend my current Riesling of choice, the 2007 Schloss Schönborn Estate Riesling. It's a juicy, drinkable white with a slight sweetness.
A Delightful Day at See's Candies
Today isn't just St. Patrick's Day; it also happens to be American Chocolate Week! To celebrate — and because I had so much fun quizzing you on See's Candies last month — I took a rare private tour of the company's South San Francisco plant.
Taste Test: Crunch vs. Krackel
Last Friday after hearing the news that Hershey's had changed its chocolate formula, YumSugar and I decided to perform a taste test. Luckily we had the perfect place to host a chocolate taste test — CasaSugar's space at Park(ing) Day! For the taste test, we pitted Nestle's Crunch against Hershey's Krackel.
