Thanks for the great gift guide! I noticed the lovely Stanglware plate under your prolific citrus tree. My collection started with service for 8 (minus a few that had broken through the years.) They were my mother's everyday dishes and I still use them to this day. I have added to her collection and remodeled my kitchen entirely with glass front cabinets to show the Stangl off. Does it take being tidy when putting them away? Yes, but it's worth it.
Thank you for the shout out. Quite an honor to be well regarded by you and equally thankful for the kind words. We are lucky getting to work with so many community gardens all over the country but the hardest part is telling people what we are doing and how they can help. Your piece goes a long way to helping bridge that gap . Can we send you a tshirt ? Its styled after the Ramones and think you would like it . A million thanks, very cool. Small Axe Peppers
I remember hearing about using anchovies packed in salt as opposed to in olive oil - have you tried those, and how good are they as opposed to the Don Bocarte ones?
The ones which, despite the nosebleed price, I'm seriously tempted to purchase a can of....
I used to buy Italian anchovies packed in salt. They're good - but once you taste Cantabrian anchovies you'll never go back. These have an umami sweetness I've not found in other anchovies. But beware: they truly are addictive.
As a panettone lover I was excited to order a USA obsessive’s version. Sadly, what I received from Roy was tough and tasted as if it had previously been frozen. Will be sticking with Fiasconaro’s traditional panettone imported from Sicily, and available through Amazon for a much lower price.
Love the Tadich menu! A must visit on any trip to San Francisco! This menu looks like it hasn’t changed much except for the prices! Killer martinis! A real piece of old San Francisco.
Ahhh Mala Market....learned about them from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt... buying aged soy as a gift this year along with some chili crisp. Their flower Szechuan peppers bring joy. Great list, too!

I bought those plates at a thriftshop in Ann Arbor when I was 18!
Wow!
My dad was a patent attorney and his office was in the Montgomery Building in the Financial District. We made yummy weekly memories at Tadich's.

Ruth, this is truly a gift. Thank you. I am going to sit, read and shop! Imagining I’m in your kitchen with you (and that lovey orange tree).
Love all these suggestions,I have ordered Roy's Pannetone- For friends that have everything, food is the go to gift !

Palisade peaches from Colorado- extra sweet, extra juicy
So happy to know about these. Thanks!
Many memorable times at Tadich grill! Such an iconic place.

I'm shocked! That's the first negative thing I've ever heard about Roy's. The ones I've gotten have all been superb.
Maybe it was a fluke? 🤷♀️ Makes me think I should reach out to them. Maybe there will be a positive update....
You should! Please let us know what happens.
Grateful that you shared these ambrosial edibles!
