My Life as a Foodie |
So reposting interesting things and my anecdotes on food and other foodie related things (hey, I tend to go to the foodie conferences....) |
Pretty interesting story on test kitchens - the Food section of the LA Times is one of the few reasons I haven’t cancelled my subscription.

California’s Olive Oils Challenge Europe’s - NYTimes.com
Pretty fascinating article on the California Olive Oil growers/makers, and the push into the home and the market.
Yes, I’m gonna go look for some of these brands.
