San Francisco favorites!

For lunch: Cha Cha Cha on Haight Street is legendary and serves scrumptious tapas. For breakfast? Hmmm, let me think on it.

If they're watching the Disney Channel's "Pass the Plate" segments, they're no doubt learning the rich history of foods around the world as well as nutritional information. The televised segments ... more

IRISH RECIPES!!

Ooh, I can't wait to see the responses here. I love Irish food myself but am daunted by the thought of prepping. After all, here's the only recipe I know: * Grab a schooner * Fill it with Guiness

Do “older” leaders filter too much from “newer” leaders?

I just read a discussion on the main page titled "Email or snail mail is the question" and I thought of you...and someone else but I can't remember who it was! Ha! Anyway, it's a great topic and a good discussion but, when you read it I'm sure you'll find something wrong with it...and by something, I mean a bunch of things wrong with it!!
