Lucia wrote in to inform us here about an upcoming podcast taping:

I wanted to let you know about a food event/live show in the Bay Area
on April 17th in case you wanted to attend or were interested in writing
about it for your GrubGirl.

Entitled A Farmer, A Butcher, and a Chef walk into a Bar, it’s a live
taping of the podcast Get Smart Radio (www.getsmartradio.net), and this
month’s show is all about meat.

I have been advised by an experienced sipper of liquor that a hangover is more likely to occur if the liquor is mixed with sugar (ie fruit juice, tonic water, soda water). I’m a little wary of proving this theory (by drinking pure vodka), but I may have the chance on Saturday.

Hangar One Vodka, yes, the one that’s based in Alameda, always gives weekend tours of their distillery operations. Sounds good, but I’ve always had the darnedest time conscripting a friend to be the designated driver. Apparently the Hangar One folks have heard that excuse before.

For any reader who has mangled a practically full bottle of wine by contaminating it with broken cork bits, here’s a tip on how to not throw away all that precious wine.

Of course, it can get a little messy if you’re at home and this happens to you and your full bottle of wine. If this happens, do your best to pour out some of the wine (through a strainer, ideally, to remove any cork bits).
