Happy New Year!! As a very special friend and client shared ‘We made it!’

Welcome to the first AirDrop of 2021!

This Friday, we’re focusing on food because 1) it’s necessary, 2) it’s comfort and 3) it can be fun to make AND enjoy. To all my favorite foodies and special cooks/chefs, please share what you’re whipping up and I promise to do the same.

For musical inspiration, we point you to some blasts from the past: Honey Honey by Abba, anyone? How about Green Onions by Booker T. and the MGs?

Have you heard of the new online offering from the New York Times called “Cooking Times”? Thanks to my client and friend, Laura K., for hooking me up! I’m finding all sorts of easy and delicious meals for Paul to make! (Lol. But seriously.) See a recipe I’m excited to try below – Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi.

Lastly, we bring you reminders about supporting our local restaurants and food providers – the second lockdown is continuing to hit them hard – both restaurateurs AND food pantries. Please be their patrons – they need us and they are a huge part of what makes the SF Bay Area an amazing place to live. The best restaurants celebrate food and life.

Huge Hugs and well-wishes for everything great in the coming year! Be healthy and here’s to an

Amazing 2021!

Ricotta Cheese Gnocchi

“Gnocco” translates literally as “lump” (nice, huh?) and is a colloquial word for dumpling; gnocchi can be made out of semolina, cornmeal, spinach, even bread crumbs. One of my favorites: ricotta gnocchi, which is just as authentic as its potato relative, but lighter in texture and much easier to make. (Courtesy of Mark Bittman.)

Tous les Jours

Our local restaurants and specialty shops are being hit hard by the second Bay Area shutdown. Even though they have had to close doors again, they are still available for food delivery and pick-up or online orders. Treat yourself tonight or this weekend and help the people who make our communities wonderful! Who wouldn’t want to come home with special treats!

If you are able, please join me in helping people receive food who need food the most.

Below are 2 of my favorite organizations in the SF Bay Area doing good work to get food into the hands of those who need it.

Second Harvest of Silicon Valley

The economic crisis created by the pandemic has pushed many families deeper into poverty and caused others to seek food assistance for the very first time. Anyone who needs a healthy meal should be able to get one.

Your donation can make that possible and any support is helpful and so appreciated.

SF-Marin Food Bank

I multiplied 3x my donation last year to give back to those who really need it – and they need help and every dollar counts. The Food Bank continues to do the day-in and day-out job of making sure vulnerable neighbors get the food they need. The Food Bank has raced to put new programming and solutions in place, one by one, to be able to continue providing food and helping our communities through this crisis.
