Chinatown Dining Week started yesterday. That area of the city really needs more support, and you will be rewarded with tasty food like the $20 special seafood noodle at Lee House. Plus, their kimchi stew is a fav of mine and delicious. #hosted – at El Granada, CA

Are you going to start a vegetable garden this year? My advice is to start small, with 1 raised bed or perhaps a few containers. Some ideas:

1/ We need to talk about #FolkFest. Support the performers. Enjoy the show.
BUT: why does this event consistently exclude hip-hop inflected idioms of popular music? Afrobeat, jazz, r&b, soul, neo-soul. "Folk music" is such a vexed term as to be meaningless.
