Tonight I made fried polenta with sauteed mushrooms, fennel, and crispy buttery sage. It turned out rather nice, although I am still learning how to crisp my sage just right - I managed one good leaf out of 5.
Work is physically demanding now, and strangely, mentally demanding too - we are setting a new store, and putting products into just the right places and checking numbers is a bit of torture - but the team are great and I love the neighborhood we are in, there is a fabulous food market just 5 mins walk away. Funny - I used to think about clothes and shoes, now I think about fancy condiments and organic vegetables. Anything that says 'raw' on the label - I have to buy it and taste it (I had raw sauerkraut last night, full of prebiotics, amazing).
Trying to muster the courage now to go to anna's jazz island - its open mike night - and I didn't organize far enough in advance to bring a friend along, so should I go on my own and belt out a jazz tune or two?

yes yes and yes!
Hey Karma,
I'm going to try my hand at crisping some sage tonight; it sounds delicious!
Raw sauerkrout sounds a little like a non-spicy version of kimchee, although the latter is rather stinky. I'm addicted to it.
How are things in SF? It's good to have you back in the states.
