Instead of thinking about Tax day, get excited that some of the best spring & summer Farmers’ Markets are about to pop-up all around you. Most of them run

Springtime Farmer's Market

May-September and they all have a different vibe! My favorite in Marin County is The Fairfax Farmer’s Market (Weds from 4-8pm). It’s held in Bolinas Park under the Redwood trees. Small and intimate, it always feels like a small festival with live music, face painting for the kids with blankets and picnics abound. Like most markets, you can buy dinner from local vendors on the spot or take some goodies home to prepare.

My advice to you: bring a limited amount of CASH to spend or you’ll break the budget with all the goodness. I like bringing 20 bucks! Start planning your spring and summer meal planning around a weekly trip to the market now. The Fairfax Farmer’s Market Opening Day is Wednesday, May 4, 2011!

San Francisco Premiere @ Rrazz RoomI was also intrigued! When I met Peggy Sweeney McDonald, creator of “Meanwhile, Back at Cafe Du Monde…,” she described her show as follows:

“It’s like the Vagina Monologues of FOOD!”

Right away, I thought, “Wow. That’s sounds interesting – in more ways than one.” Then two very exciting things happened. 1) She told me the San Francisco premiere was in March and 2) She asked me if I wanted to join the list of “headliners!” The excitement of telling a childhood story about FOOD pushed out any nervous voices saying, “uh…this is at the Rrazz Room! uh, you’re not an actor or a stand up comic…uh….SHHHHHH!”

I’m doing it! Come see me and others, including comedian, Michael Capozzola…if you dare (or if you just love good stories about food). Mine will be about my 5 moms and coffee!

Chef Russell Jackson, Lafitte

Studio Gourmet is quickly becoming the hot foodie ticket in town. Founder and host, Brad Lev, takes us into an intimate space with some of the best chefs in San Francisco. Next up is “bad boy” Chef Russell Jackson from Lafitte on Sunday, Feb 20, 2011 at Horatius in Potrero Hill. If you love the San Francisco food scene, then you know Russell Jackson (or at least you might think you do). Pirate chef, notorious, Zeus of the underground dining scene? Perhaps?!

I was very glad to attend the inaugural event featuring the very talented and charming, Chef Martin Brock of Gary Danko (Chef de Cuisine). I’m not sure what I liked more: hearing about him growing up on a farm in Germany; when he received “the call” from Gary Danko himself; or about life as a newlywed. The conversation was great and the food was amazing! Yes, you get food :0).

I’m sure Jackson’s interview will be awesome. For more info, visit:
