Pandemic polenta. Not the best photograph, mind you, but absolutely the best polenta I've ever had. And I made it from scratch! The ingredients for entire pan of polenta cost only about 2 dollars.

Hope you are staying safe and well during these unprecedented and weird times. Love to you all.

Portrait of a Grilled Cheese in San Francisco

One of my favorite places in San Francisco is the Ferry Building. And within that favorite place, lies another favorite place, the Cowgirl Creamery Sidekick Cafe and Milkbar!

The food at the cafe leans toward gooey perfection in every way. Today they had a wonderful special — a raclette and sheep's milk ricotta grilled cheese sandwich with homemade pickles. The sandwich was warm, rich and delicious, with a tiny little "after" tang.

This is not your father's grilled cheese! Enjoy...
