Artichoke-Rosemary Tart with Polenta Crust
It’s no secret that my dear sweet Beck’s appreciation for artichokes and cheese almost rival his fondness for beer and cheese.

SF Food Blogger Bake Sale – April 28 at Kiehls
Who has time to volunteer? I ask myself this question as I’m juggling a multitude of activities, commitments and trying to do the careful dance of not plunging into the depths of my inbox while staying current in correspondence.
