Katie of Spain

Katie's annual pilgrimage to Seville wasn't all play this year.

She was commissioned by the BBC to do a photo essay on Feria de Abril a week-long party that is said to attract a million people.

Samer again gets some DCist Picture of the Day love with this shot of a cool ale -- not too cool, peepsNet hopes.

He deserves recognition just for pausing long enough to take a picture of this thing of beauty, a mere millimeters away.

Cooking with Gas

Are you one of those apartment dwellers who loves to give dinner parties but labors with a lousy oven? You are not alone. But you probably can't tell the tale as well as our Nicole, who lives to cook and bake. You have seen her blog, no?

Let's hope the folks over at Viking or Wolf put her out of her misery. She has people to feed -- lots of them.

Just thought of this: why doesn't the SFGate allow comments on stories? I think peepsNet will ask ...

SFist Mention for cucinanicolina

We read her regularly of course but it's nice to know that SFist also knows what a super blog Nicole has going on over at cucina nicolina.

So, we have a coast-to-coast smackdown going on now between Samer, whose had a number of pictures published by DCist, and Nicole.

Who to root for. Decisions, decisions.

A Pattern Starts to Form

It will never get boring but it is nice to have Nicole's byline appearing in the San Francisco Chronicle becoming routine.
