Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

For some of my family and friends, it makes perfect sense. “Of course you can grill your turkey!” For others, I’ve been met with surprise (“Wow! Wait. What? You grill your turkey?”) to confusion (“I don’t understand this concept of grilling a whole turkey.”). Generally, the folks that understand it live in a more temperate climate, aka California. The Scottish half of the family, not so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started years and years ago when I spent the first of many Thanksgivings with dear friends up in Inverness (California, not Scotland). They had a tiny oven, and one half of the couple – the one who happened to be the cook of the family - was a vegetarian. So me, and my organic, pasture-raised turkey, got the boot. Don’t worry, it was a nice boot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to brine the bird (in a cooler using a wet brine) and throw that sucker on the grill. My bird was on the heftier side, ideal for the large gathering, so we had to make do by wrapping the edges of the Weber grill with aluminum foil to completely enclose it. But what emerged was a mahogany-colored, smoky-flavored, moist and scrumptious fowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>I learned a lot that Thanksgiving, and continued to perfect my West Coast grilled turkey.\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here’s what I’ve learned along the way:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Grilling your turkey frees up your oven, and your kitchen, significantly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There is very little hand-on work involved, just occasional basting and rotating.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Purchase a smaller turkey; I usually try to get a 12- to 14-pounder. It’s easier to manage on your grill.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Brine your turkey 1 to 2 days ahead for better flavor, and to keep the meat moist.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ideally, use a charcoal grill. You’ll have much better flavor and color, and it’s really not hard to deal with. Honestly, I’ve never done this on a gas grill, but I’m sure you can do it; just turn on the left and right burners on to medium and leave the center burner off. If your grill has a way to use wood chips for smoking, I recommend going that route.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One slight downside is that you don’t really get great drippings to use for gravy with this method, so roast a chicken up to 1 month before Thanksgiving and freeze the drippings from that. Then you have the advantage of making your gravy up to 2 days in advance.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Get off on your bad self: you grilled a freaking turkey! (Besides tasting great, it really does look impressive to your guests.)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89656\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/turkey-ingredients.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89656\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/turkey-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Brined BBQ Turkey.

For some of my family and friends, it makes perfect sense. “Of course you can grill your turkey!” For others, I’ve been met with surprise (“Wow! Wait. What? You grill your turkey?”) to confusion (“I don’t understand this concept of grilling a whole turkey.”). Generally, the folks that understand it live in a more temperate climate, aka California. The Scottish half of the family, not so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started years and years ago when I spent the first of many Thanksgivings with dear friends up in Inverness (California, not Scotland). They had a tiny oven, and one half of the couple – the one who happened to be the cook of the family - was a vegetarian. So me, and my organic, pasture-raised turkey, got the boot. Don’t worry, it was a nice boot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to brine the bird (in a cooler using a wet brine) and throw that sucker on the grill. My bird was on the heftier side, ideal for the large gathering, so we had to make do by wrapping the edges of the Weber grill with aluminum foil to completely enclose it. But what emerged was a mahogany-colored, smoky-flavored, moist and scrumptious fowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n\u003cul>I learned a lot that Thanksgiving, and continued to perfect my West Coast grilled turkey.\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here’s what I’ve learned along the way:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Grilling your turkey frees up your oven, and your kitchen, significantly.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There is very little hand-on work involved, just occasional basting and rotating.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Purchase a smaller turkey; I usually try to get a 12- to 14-pounder. It’s easier to manage on your grill.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Brine your turkey 1 to 2 days ahead for better flavor, and to keep the meat moist.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Ideally, use a charcoal grill. You’ll have much better flavor and color, and it’s really not hard to deal with. Honestly, I’ve never done this on a gas grill, but I’m sure you can do it; just turn on the left and right burners on to medium and leave the center burner off. If your grill has a way to use wood chips for smoking, I recommend going that route.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>One slight downside is that you don’t really get great drippings to use for gravy with this method, so roast a chicken up to 1 month before Thanksgiving and freeze the drippings from that. Then you have the advantage of making your gravy up to 2 days in advance.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Get off on your bad self: you grilled a freaking turkey! (Besides tasting great, it really does look impressive to your guests.)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89656\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/turkey-ingredients.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-89656\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/11/turkey-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Ingredients for Brined BBQ Turkey.

It is not clear whether the Chinese or the Japanese get credit for the creation of ramen. But Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese-Japanese founder and chairman of Nissin Foods invented instant noodles in 1958 which made ramen inexpensive and easily accessible. In the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen\" target=\"_blank\">1980s ramen became a Japanese cultural icon\u003c/a> and its popularity spread internationally. The reality is the while the noodle soup is a popular option for those on their lunch hour, the restaurants serving the dish often spend hours preparing noodles and simmering their broth which have a broad range of interpretations and styles. Ramen is continually trending in the Bay Area (some restaurants with cult-like followings) as devoted customers slurp up the springy noodles and rich broth year-round. From a simple sea salt base to the slowly simmered tonkotsu, this guide highlights nine popular destinations for ramen in the South Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please feel free to share your favorite South Bay ramen shops that are not included in this guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"89406,89405,89404,89407\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visit to this Bay Area pinnacle of ramen goodness often comes with a wait list that can be anywhere from one half to two hours long, as you and throngs of people wait to get inside the small strip mall restaurant.

It is not clear whether the Chinese or the Japanese get credit for the creation of ramen. But Momofuku Ando, the Taiwanese-Japanese founder and chairman of Nissin Foods invented instant noodles in 1958 which made ramen inexpensive and easily accessible. In the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen\" target=\"_blank\">1980s ramen became a Japanese cultural icon\u003c/a> and its popularity spread internationally. The reality is the while the noodle soup is a popular option for those on their lunch hour, the restaurants serving the dish often spend hours preparing noodles and simmering their broth which have a broad range of interpretations and styles. Ramen is continually trending in the Bay Area (some restaurants with cult-like followings) as devoted customers slurp up the springy noodles and rich broth year-round. From a simple sea salt base to the slowly simmered tonkotsu, this guide highlights nine popular destinations for ramen in the South Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Please feel free to share your favorite South Bay ramen shops that are not included in this guide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the first half of the 20th century, Halloween meant homey festivities where costumed revelers played games and enjoyed traditional fall foods such as apples, gingerbread, popcorn and cider. Sweets appeared as color-coordinated party fare. Festive serving tables at \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#candy\" target=\"_blank\">a 1921 Halloween gala\u003c/a> displayed dishes of orange and black gumdrops and jellybeans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in the last century, the holiday tilted more towards “trick” than “treat.” To prevent the pervasive pranks of soaped windows, unhinged gates and egged cars perpetrated by ”rowdies from the other side of town,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#trick\" target=\"_blank\">a 1939 women’s magazine\u003c/a> suggested hosting a Halloween open house for neighborhood youngsters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When children began to visit their friends' houses, they were often presented with wrapped homemade cookies or popcorn balls to take home. After WWII’s sugar rationing was lifted, national candy companies encouraged tots to try on consumerism. Currently, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/americans-will-spend-28-billion-halloween-candy-year-less-2012-fears-about-economy-inhibit-1445886\" target=\"_blank\">more than 2 billion dollars\u003c/a> is spent annually on Halloween candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89211\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/poisonKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/poisonKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Halloween sadists regularly poison children’s treats.

Sociologist Joel Best has been investigating allegations of strangers poisoning kids’ Halloween candy for 30 years. As of this \u003ca href=\"http://www.smithsonianmag.com/not-categorized/where-did-the-fear-of-poisoned-halloween-candy-come-from-822302/?no-ist\" target=\"_blank\">2013 Smithsonian article\u003c/a>, “he hasn’t identified a single confirmed example of a stranger murdering a child in this fashion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the annual mass paranoia was possibly fueled by one actual gruesome crime perpetrated in 1974, when 30-year old Ronald O’Bryan, a Texas optician, laced a handful of Pixy Stix with cyanide and handed them out to several children. After his 8-year-old son, Timothy died from ingesting the poisoned candy, an investigation revealed that Mr. O’Bryan was deeply in debt and had just taken out large life insurance policies on his son and daughter. He was found guilty of murder and executed in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even before this monstrous act, the media ghoulishly stoked the fires of fear with yearly exhortations. In 1970, even the esteemed New York Times, fabricated a haunted house of words, warning: “those Halloween goodies that children collect this weekend...may bring them more horror than happiness. That plump red apple that Junior gets from the kindly old woman down the block may have a razor blade hidden inside. The chocolate “candy” may be a laxative, the bubble gum may be sprinkled with lye, the popcorn balls may be coated with camphor, the candy may turn out to be packets containing sleeping pills.” (As quoted in \u003cem>Death Makes a Holiday: A Cultural History of Halloween\u003c/em>, page 5.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While parents understandably want to protect their young ‘uns from harm, perhaps the ritual spilling of the sugary loot on the living room floor for inspection currently has more to do with mom or dad picking out the best (chocolate?) morsels for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Apples played an innocent role in Halloweens gone-by.

Celebrated from sunset, October 31 to sunset, November 1, it eventually morphed into our American Halloween.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Samhain, it was believed that ghosts would be released from their graves. The Celtic priests (aka Druids) used various methods of divination to communicate with the spirits and foretell the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Romans conquered Britain in 43 AD, they brought along some apple trees. The apple was an emblem of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees and fertility, whose harvest festival was observed on November 1 and eventually the Roman and Celtic traditions intermingled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an apple is sliced through the middle, its seeds form a 5-pointed star or pentagram, which the Celts also viewed as a symbol of fertility. From this belief, evolved various methods of using apples to determine future marriage prospects. During the annual fall celebrations, young unmarried people would try to bite into \u003ca href=\"http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/bobbing.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">an apple floating in water\u003c/a> or hanging from a string. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry. Girls could also place the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_bobbing\" target=\"_blank\">apple they bobbed under their pillows\u003c/a> in hopes of dreaming of their future lover. If a young woman peeled an apple in a long spiral, swung it over her head three times and tossed it over her shoulder, it was believed that the shape it landed in would form the first letter of her future husband’s name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Ireland, Scotland and Wales kept their ancient November eve traditions alive through age-old games and folkways. They used apples or nuts to divine the future...and asked spirits about matters of love. The immigration of Scots and Irish in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries brought the Celtic celebrations to the U.S.\" (From \u003cem>A Halloween How-to,\u003c/em> page 12.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caramel covered or hard candy apples are still a traditional treat this time of year.

After years outsmarting the Devil, the story goes, old Jack’s body finally succumbed to the ravages of age and he craved eternal rest.

To avoid being visited by demons they created their own versions of Jack's lantern by carving fearsome faces into turnips or potatoes, lighting them with candles, and placing them in windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits.

In the first half of the 20th century, Halloween meant homey festivities where costumed revelers played games and enjoyed traditional fall foods such as apples, gingerbread, popcorn and cider. Sweets appeared as color-coordinated party fare. Festive serving tables at \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#candy\" target=\"_blank\">a 1921 Halloween gala\u003c/a> displayed dishes of orange and black gumdrops and jellybeans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early in the last century, the holiday tilted more towards “trick” than “treat.” To prevent the pervasive pranks of soaped windows, unhinged gates and egged cars perpetrated by ”rowdies from the other side of town,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtimeline.org/halloween.html#trick\" target=\"_blank\">a 1939 women’s magazine\u003c/a> suggested hosting a Halloween open house for neighborhood youngsters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When children began to visit their friends' houses, they were often presented with wrapped homemade cookies or popcorn balls to take home. After WWII’s sugar rationing was lifted, national candy companies encouraged tots to try on consumerism. Currently, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ibtimes.com/americans-will-spend-28-billion-halloween-candy-year-less-2012-fears-about-economy-inhibit-1445886\" target=\"_blank\">more than 2 billion dollars\u003c/a> is spent annually on Halloween candy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89211\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/poisonKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/poisonKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Halloween sadists regularly poison children’s treats.

After his 8-year-old son, Timothy died from ingesting the poisoned candy, an investigation revealed that Mr. O’Bryan was deeply in debt and had just taken out large life insurance policies on his son and daughter. He was found guilty of murder and executed in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even before this monstrous act, the media ghoulishly stoked the fires of fear with yearly exhortations. In 1970, even the esteemed New York Times, fabricated a haunted house of words, warning: “those Halloween goodies that children collect this weekend...may bring them more horror than happiness. That plump red apple that Junior gets from the kindly old woman down the block may have a razor blade hidden inside. The chocolate “candy” may be a laxative, the bubble gum may be sprinkled with lye, the popcorn balls may be coated with camphor, the candy may turn out to be packets containing sleeping pills.” (As quoted in \u003cem>Death Makes a Holiday: A Cultural History of Halloween\u003c/em>, page 5.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While parents understandably want to protect their young ‘uns from harm, perhaps the ritual spilling of the sugary loot on the living room floor for inspection currently has more to do with mom or dad picking out the best (chocolate?) morsels for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_89206\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/10/appleKQED1000.jpg\" alt=\"Myth: Apples played an innocent role in Halloweens gone-by.

Celebrated from sunset, October 31 to sunset, November 1, it eventually morphed into our American Halloween.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Samhain, it was believed that ghosts would be released from their graves. The Celtic priests (aka Druids) used various methods of divination to communicate with the spirits and foretell the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Romans conquered Britain in 43 AD, they brought along some apple trees. The apple was an emblem of Pomona, the Roman goddess of fruit trees and fertility, whose harvest festival was observed on November 1 and eventually the Roman and Celtic traditions intermingled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When an apple is sliced through the middle, its seeds form a 5-pointed star or pentagram, which the Celts also viewed as a symbol of fertility. From this belief, evolved various methods of using apples to determine future marriage prospects. During the annual fall celebrations, young unmarried people would try to bite into \u003ca href=\"http://www.hauntedbay.com/history/bobbing.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">an apple floating in water\u003c/a> or hanging from a string. The first person to bite into the apple would be the next one to marry. Girls could also place the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_bobbing\" target=\"_blank\">apple they bobbed under their pillows\u003c/a> in hopes of dreaming of their future lover. If a young woman peeled an apple in a long spiral, swung it over her head three times and tossed it over her shoulder, it was believed that the shape it landed in would form the first letter of her future husband’s name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people of Ireland, Scotland and Wales kept their ancient November eve traditions alive through age-old games and folkways. They used apples or nuts to divine the future...and asked spirits about matters of love. The immigration of Scots and Irish in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries brought the Celtic celebrations to the U.S.\" (From \u003cem>A Halloween How-to,\u003c/em> page 12.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caramel covered or hard candy apples are still a traditional treat this time of year.

And a popular favorite, General Tso's \"chicken,\" is prepared with textured vegetable protein to simulate its meaty Chinese-American counterpart and served with fresh steamed broccoli. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
