Have you read Memorable Fruit yet? It's in this season's Edible San Francisco magazine. Spring 2007.
This very recent article of mine has been chosen to appear in Best Food Writing 2007, a yearly book!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
Don't have your copy yet? Why not subscribe? If you live in the East Bay, find one at Bakesale Betty, 5098 Telegraph Ave., Oakland or Poulet, 1685 Shattuck avenue, Berkeley. They're free! San Francisco provides many locations including Bi Rite, Mission Pies and The Ferry Plaza Farmers' market.
Say you saw it first.
I can't be more excited.
And I'm hoping this energy carries me through to the next ESF deadline for summer, in a few days. If you see me, please don't make fun of my hair.
Thank you all for your continued support, reading, commenting, recipe testing, correcting. Thanks for being on this wild, woolly roller coaster with me.

Wild and woolly is the journey, not your hair, right? CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so proud, but not at all surprised. You're long overdue for some national recognition for that sexy mind of yours.

Congratulations! It is so nice to be recognized for things that one puts so much of herself into.
I too loved the strawberry article, though for me, the peach article will never be surpassed.

Congratulations on Best Food Writing. I look forward to buying the whole book just to read SF's own Shuna Fish Lydon.
Cheers!

Old Bean? Nothing like laughing out loud, alone at home!

oh! great. good for you.
I'd seen a copy last week at mission pie and was happy to see you in it.
I'm going there again tomorrow morning. I keep hoping the strawberry rhubarb will make its grand entrance.
