Not sure what these flowers are called, but they grow wild all over the Bay Area. My friend's mother is in town from Israel and she showed be that the stems are great to snack on and have a tart lemony taste. I'm sure participants in the wild food walks will learn about this plant.

Word to the streets of bangalore

Hello all you pretty people.


Roger has graciously invited me to contribute to the Soul Cocina blog, and I thought it would be prudent to introduce myself. You can find me on the streets alongside Roger with the ever present Pizzahacker, hacking pizzas and ovens and tomatoes into magical works of art. And now, the requisite "Follow me on Twitter!" if you so desire to listen to my 140 character rantings. Which are sometimes actually interesting.

And so, hello, Soul Cocina followers, (and pau bhaji lovers), and I will leave you with this:

Read about a seaweed farmer while listening to these chill tracks.
