Many, many thanks to The Kitchn for its uber-kind review. It reads, in part: Can It, Bottle It, Smoke It takes our DIY home-cooking projects to the next level. There …

So SF Food Nerds: Did you know we had a food radio show? I mean, LA has Good Food. The Midwest has Splendid Table. Doncha think it's about time that we foodie folk had a bite-sized radio show of our own?
I'm so convinced of this that several years ago I bought SFFoodRadio.com because, well, I was going to start my own food radio show. Are you listening Air America??
Read MoreJam It Salon Recap – July 21, 2011
Thank you to 18 reasons and to everyone for coming last night! Certainly I cannot remember everything that we tasted and talked about, but here's my lame attempt: We had an amazing spread…more of Tarril's three great pickles (including cherry tomatoes), an outstanding peach chutney and apple butter, excellent Hungarian plum sauces and a cherry port, strawberry jam, Kirsten's delish toffee with chocolate, strawberries with gin, lime, and sugar, and a killer persimmon butter. McEvoy Ranch came and did a sneak-tasting of their new jams they will be selling, and they were great! I also brought some fresh almond milk, chocolate almond spread, sweet red pepper and corn relish, some fresh peach butter…SEE what ya'll missed? :>

Despite the fact that I did close to nothing to promote the event, about 20 or so food-eaters showed up and chimed in. Thank you to everyone. I hope to teach a class on basic canning techniques there later this year.
Read MoreI am feeling Super Human
Seems like a no-brainer that my physique, made doughy and supple from many years secluded in a closet with my recipes for bacon, lemon curd, and the like, would make me of interest to the body building community, right? Exactly. Uh-huh. Well, nonetheless, even after I made sure they wanted to talk to me, a gal who makes her own corn dogs, I was featured for an entire hour on the Internet airwaves of radio show Super Human Radio, with your excellent and gracious host Carl Lanore.

So, contrary to what you may have thought, BuffaloNews.com is NOT news FOR buffaloes, BY buffaloes. However, if there are any buffaloes out there reading the news, they will find a very charming review of my book, along with my recipe for soft pretzels. Hey Buffaloes! Don't forget the mustard.
