163 year old bread

Bay seniors generally have to be dragged kicking and screaming to Fisherman’s Wharf but you might get less hysterical with a visit there to the Boudin Sourdough Museum. Did you know the first loaves were baked here back in 1849? Even with all the burgeoning local bakery competition of the last few years Boudin has […]

san franCinco

Gringo Bay seniors are loco if they think that Cinco de Mayo is Mexican Independence Day, celebrating the battle of Puebla in 1862 where the French were defeated. You’re way off base, amigos. Mexican Independence Day is September 16. Cinco de Mayo, if fact, is barely celebrated south of the border. It’s here in the […]

oaklandia

Bay seniors who’ve suspected that farmers’ market prices vary according to neighborhood will have their suspicious confirmed at the Old Oakland Farmers Market, on Broadway and 9th  every Friday from 8 to 2. The Geezer saw Pink Lady Apples for 50 cents a pound, blood oranges for  $1.50 a pound, bunches of spring onions for […]

gourmand geezers

Bay seniors who are paid up members of the 1% economic elite can blow a nice chunk of change this weekend at the 2nd Annual Napa Truffle Festival. The object of everyone’s affection will be the black Perigord truffle, celebrated with an endless round of wine tastings, demos by truffle hunting canines, cooking classes and […]

britannia for boomers

For Bay seniors who consider the holidays barely joyous without a Dickensian feast of plum pudding, mince pies, brandy snaps, Devon Ceam, crumpets, Cadbury Curly Whirlies, whiskey fudge and vegetable suet the Geezer directs you to British American Imports in the City. They’ve had a somewhat hidden retail shop for 10 years out on 15th […]

heavenly piece

I challenge any SF demographic to be more gripped by the subject of food than Bay seniors. But why stand in the cold in lines outside Tartine when you can bake a holiday treat yourself? Ramekins Culinary School in Sonoma, for example, has a class on the classic Buche de Noel, the densely chocolate pastry […]

learning the classics

This Sunday Bay seniors with savory memories of San Francisco dinners past will have a chance to learn how to cook them under the wise whisk of Tori Ritchie at Tante Marie’s Cooking School. Recipes include Dungeness Crab Rangoon from Trader Vic’s; Zuni-Style Roast Chicken with Bread Salad and Currants; Chez Panisse-Inspired Goats Cheese Salad; Vanessi’s […]

cheer up

Thirsty Bay seniors who want to extend their entertaining skills might well  consider holiday cocktail classes. The Barbary Coast Conservancy, a bona fide non-profit bent on preserving our city’s beloved saloon culture will turn you into a semi Sam Malone (remember “Cheers”) starting at $65. The Geezer loves the idea that cocktail classes by the […]
