Editor's Birthday Food Extravaganza
It was a fabulous feast from Le Cheval enjoyed by those attending the birthday party of Jack London News Editor, Joanna Adler, Sunday evening. The chocolate cake from neighbor and incognito chef, Jenna, was devine! Another famous cook was in attendence, but taking a break from work - see the article on Tanya Holland for more info on where you can see her speak about her new cookbook, New Soul Cooking. The ice cream was brought by Carmen, from the famous Tucker's in Alameda - yum, toasted almond is a favorite! Good friends, good food, good times... that's what life in the Jack London District is all about. (The wine everyone brought was pretty varied and fabulous too!)

One more mentionable - a gift-that-isn't-a-gift was given by the Editor's favorite pro-library household (see the important article on Measure Q) - it was a donation for a family meal to the Alameda Food Bank. Such a great gift! Perfect for someone that has everything. Click on the link and make your own gift donation or find out about volunteering. Perhaps the neighbors of the Jack London District could organize a day to go and help.
