Tea is celebrating her 1-year blog anniversary. And we're glad she's a part of the community!
365 days later it still is sheer delight, though I sometimes struggle to find the time I want for it. This is the most enjoyable writing I do, by a long shot, and the impact this blog has had on my life continues to astound me. It is definitely one of the best things of the past year for me.
Anita looks back on her 2006 resolutions and evaluates whether she kept them. She was successful with her vow to eat more food that is traceable to its source:
I spent as many Saturday mornings as logistically possible at various farmers markets, and I can honestly say that I could count all of our 2006 trips to Safeway on one hand. We turned to Whole Foods and Tower Market for any needs that couldn’t be managed at the Ferry Building.
The experience was, frankly, eye-opening: We've developed relationships with farmers, gotten a much better feel for the rhythm of seasonal crops, and enjoyed observing that -- although better food does, often, cost more -- we're more satisfied with a smaller quantity of good things as we used to be with an abundance of mediocre stuff.
Joy gives us a rundown of restaurants where she ate this year and review thoroughly.
