Last three homes were pretty swell, if you ask me. They actually look as if somebody lives in them. I’d like to - however, again, there’s this small matter of bank balances.

Book authors and chefs were hawking their wares at every stop. All of it food related, including author Lori Lynn Narlock. She has a new book out – “The Food Lover’s Companion to the Napa Valley” ($19.95, Chronicle Books) – and offered a few recommendations on what to see and what to do in the valley. More on that tomorrow. Mostly, she wanted to know what to do and where to eat in Seattle. She’s never been. Any ideas? She wants Asian food especially.
My personal “fav” – the cookbook for sale at one stop that listed a recipe for pasta pesto somewhat thusly – 1 portion of store-bought pesto, pasta. Add cheese. Whoa! Let’s teach this man how to chop, okay?
