Cookbook politics: Democrats, Republicans in the kitchen Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700 Out on the fringes of the campaign trail, the partisan cookbook is a perennial candidate. Want a cookie?
"NOT ONLY do I eat, I also am a Democrat," wrote Frank Sinatra in an intro to 1960's "Many Happy Returns: The Democrats' Cook Book, or How to Cook a G.O.P.

"Not only should every Democrat own a copy of this book, but he should load up all his or her friends, and even smuggle some copies into Pasadena and other points where the enemy is strong and square."

Ripe time for Southern California's pick-your-own farms Wed, 27 Aug 2008 00:00:00 -0700 Grab your kids and some baskets and head out to the nearest U-pick farm for the freshest fruits and vegetables.
ON A recent Sunday, a friend and I watched as our kids pulled a wooden wagon through a Ventura County field, pausing to gather black-eyed peas and sun-ripened heirloom tomatoes. They ran down rows of raspberry bushes, filling their hats with the ripe fruit. The air rustled the leaves of a row of peach trees; bees hummed on the periphery. Two hours later, the contents of our wagon (weighed out and paid for at the market stand) held enough produce for dinner, for dinners all week. The kids, faces browned by dirt and sunlight, were eating tomatoes as if they were apples; they didn't want to leave.
