It’s been a while since I’ve been able to make the Wednesday night Petaluma Farmers Market. The stars aligned just right today (barely) and I was hightailing it downtown early this evening with the little man. The weather here has been gorgeous lately – a tad hot, but just right for this southern girl – … Continue reading »

MOO-COW GOODNESS
Nothing quite says Sonoma County grown like Cowgirl Creamery Cheese. Artisanal and organic creamy goodness, it pretty much exemplifies all the things we love about Sonoma County. I first fell in love with this brand years ago at a fancy wine auction in Napa. Part of a multi-course meal, their Mt. Tam cheese was the … Continue reading »
WEDNESDAY NIGHT BOUNTY
Tonight was a treat. It was the first night of Petaluma’s Wednesday night Farmers markets, a tradition for the boy and me. When I was pregnant last summer with the little guy, we started going to this fun market every Wednesday night where I would quickly devour a butter-lemon-sugar crepe from the crepe stand and … Continue reading »
DID YOU SAY PIE??
Last weekend, in the midst of 104 degree fevers (his, not mine), midnight pharmacy runs and many a sleepless night, I got an email about this wonderful pie making class coming up in mid-June. Tempting. Verrrrrrry tempting since baking is not quite my forte and I’ve always thought that there simply must be an inner … Continue reading »
SLOW COOKED GOODNESS: CENTRAL MARKET RESTAURANT
Words such as ‘sustainable’, ‘locally-sourced’ and ‘slow food’ might be buzz words du jour for all that is wonderful in the food world right now (and we hope they stay around longer than du jour), but Tony Najiola was already ahead of the pack when he opened his restaurant Central Market in 2003. Upon moving … Continue reading »
TAPS: A CRAFT BEER BAR ARRIVES
Ponder the following words: Abita. Deschutes. Bison Brewing. Or perhaps try these: Chocolate Stout. XXXX IPA. Karmeliet. Ok, how about these: Chicago Dog, Bratwurst, Garlic Fries. Sold yet? If you’re a beer fan, I probably had you at Abita. Petaluma has new bar in town and SCL’s vote is in: Bravo. Focusing on craft beers … Continue reading »
BOUNTY OF PHOTOS: PETALUMA FARMERS MARKET
Hello Petaluma Farmer’s market! Good-bye Petaluma Farmer’s market. Our time together was good, but oh so fleeting. I was able to (finally) make the Wednesday night farmer’s market in Petaluma this last week. My first of the season, their last of the season. *Le sigh* I must clearly work on my timing next year. Those … Continue reading »
FOUND! YEAR ROUND ‘FARMERS MARKET’
This is a story about a girl and her produce. Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, a small town girl went to college in a much bigger small town and lived on her own for the very first time. One summer day she stumbled upon a year-round produce stand and before you … Continue reading »
HIDDEN GEM: LOMBARDI’S BBQ
Head up Petaluma Boulevard North on a weekend and you might be tempted to call the fire department when you spot plumes of smoke near the outlet malls. No need to fear. That’s not Banana Republic’s fall line going up in flames, but something much, much better. It’s Lombardi’s BBQ & Gourmet Delicatessen grilling and … Continue reading »
LAGUNITAS TAPROOM
For all you Lagunitas Maximus fans, your day has finally arrived. The famed 16-year old Lagunitas Brewery has finally opened their doors for the general public in the version of an outdoor tap room. They call it their beer sanctuary. Others call it a TapRoom (no space). Whatever its name, it’s SCL approved. Lagunitas Brewery, … Continue reading »
