The Bite:

Delicious and nutritious seem like an alien concept? Let chef Caroline Wallace of Down to Earth Foods ground it for you. Join her this month in the Green Home Center's kitchen for the Farm-to-Table cooking class: You'll prep fresh ingredients like Zuckerman's Farm asparagus and Far West Funghi mushrooms while CW highlights the nutritional benefits of the meal, culminated by a group noshing of your hard work: Salmon Flax Cakes with Yogurt Dill Dip and Banana Almond Pudding. Out of this world.

Why Care?:

DtEF is all about SOL (seasonal-organic-local) foods, which nix chemical pesticides and CO2 emissions from transport.

Locally educated at Berkeley's Bauman College, Caroline's enthusiasm for high-energy "longevity" diets (foods that'll let you shake your thing into the wee hours) is infectious - like, if-she-had-a-cult-we-just-might-join infectious. Maybe.

Wanna Try:

Down to Earth Food, Farm-to-Table Cooking Class; May 28, 5:30-8:30 pm; Green Home Center, 1812 Polk St. (415-425-4499). Class, $70.

Cocktail Fact

The first UFO sighting reported was by pilot Kenneth Arnold near Mt. Rainier, WA, in 1947; the U.S Air Force recorded it as a mirage.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters eat locally produced food instead of stuff shipped in from elsewhere, in just a week we'll avert the CO2 produced by 16 cars over a year.
