- 29.8.05 Grilled Cheese Day at slashfood!
- Today is Grilled Cheese Day over at food blog Slashfood. As GCSs are a subject dear to Marlena's heart, I thought it would be a good idea to mention their celebration.
- 25.8.05 Roving Feast: Gad Zukes, lottsa zucchini and one tasty recipe
- Once I had a zucchini that was so big, I wrapped it up as a baby so that I could get through the fast-moving carpool lane on the Bay Bridge instead of being stuck in the traffic jam. Any policemen reading this, please forgive. It was a long time ago. I've since paid my debt to society.

- 15.8.05 Roving Feast: Spiking the fruit bowl
- Not so fun fact: Due to various bananical diseases, the very popular Cavendish banana may become extinct within the next ten years. So sad. Let's eat our banana splits while we still can!
- 15.8.05 Marlena Teaches! — Pan Mediterranean Autumn Supper
- Menu: beetroot roasted in red wine, pastitsio (a Greek comfort classic: a cross between macaroni and cheese and lasagne), browned eggplant with mint, pomegranate, cumin and pinenuts, and lemons poached in white wine with candied lemon zest. At Draegers Cooking School in Menlo Park, California.
- 5.8.05 Three Roving Feasts!
- Catching up today with three columns: The mozzarella dreams are made of, Tomatoes lead the charge, Tiptoeing through Barcelona's Boqueria! The first one spawned a mention of Marlena in this Houston Chronicle article on the increasingly popular term “rock star”. Also: if you want to make your more genteel friends do a double-take, suggest going to a tapas bar. They'll think you said something else. Then you can accuse them of having their minds in the gutter.
