Look at that! Let's first nibble on a yogurt-fruit salad breakfast. Albion Cooks did just that over the holiday weekend, which led to a rare, unhurried breakfast. It looks appealing, healthy, and tasty, "definitely worth the effort", supremed oranges be damned. Next, dig into a big ole box of Bing cherries via The Foodie Digest. Share with co-workers, as they do in Foodie Digest's kitchen (so sweet!), or sit on the couch and enjoy solo. more ›

Luckily, for most of you in the blogosphere it went a lot better. Catherine at Albion Cooks shares her favorite potato salad recipe, While mostlymartha (welcome back!) at Two Tasty Ladies reveals her predilection for eating outdoors (gin optional). more ›

">Bay Area's Top 100 Restaurants a little moot, but our plucky Chron is soldiering on, ramping up its food coverage. Bay Area Bites has some insight into the Chron's list, Confessions of a Restaurant Whore considers the list in relation to the Michelin Guide and Bacon Press casts his porcine eye to the future and speculates on who Michelin will love or snub. Meanwhile, Ellen is just looking for a little love from Diablo magazine. more ›
