My Copia Corner

The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts
 
My Fun Day At COPIA!

My friend Kate and I recently spent a
wonderful day at Copia. We learned so
very much in the Wine and Food Pairing
class about how our taste buds work in 
conjuction with the sweet, salty, savory
(umami) sour or bitter foods and how that
counteracts with the tannic, acidic, oak
or fruity flavors of a variety of wine.


Jill Hough, Sr. Culinary Educator & Me

MORE FOOD & WINE
We then went over to the Food Forum space
to enjoy a Taste of Copia Lunch: In The
Garden with  Senior Culinary Educator, Jill
Hough, Sr Wine Educator, Kevin Toomajian
and Garden Educator, Melinda Pitcher. The
three course lunch perfectly paired with 
Hendry Rose 2007, Napa Valley, Pey-Marin
Dry Reisling 2007, Marin County and with
dessert, Saracco Moscato D'Asti 2007, Italy! 
Supurb! 

COPIA, a playground for people who love
Wine, Food and Art!  In the heart of downtown
Napa.  Open daily 10am- 6pm to find out what's

The New California Academy of Sciences Open Now!
Thursday 10-02-2008 10:00am PT


Meet the new Alligators, Giant tortoises and a cool Albino Alligator!

Note: The old Alligators who have lived at the CAS since the 1920's
         are now retired and living in Florida.


The CAS has been around for over 150 years! Like everyone
else, I can remember my childhood visits and school field
trips too. Eventually taking my little nieces and nephews on "fun
days" through GGP and the Steinhardt Aquarium was a favorite stop.
(Ok, I was an extra in a movie that was shot there. Anyone
remember a real stinker-- I mean cult classic, called
Howard
the Duck?
 I'm not sure even the producers, Spielberg or
George Lucas want to remember either)


Be sure to enter to win a KKSF Family 4-pack of tickets
on our contest page at:

About the New CAS!

The underwater beauty and biodiversity of the Philippine
seas will be put in the spotlight in a permanent exhibit
at the California Academy of Sciences (CAS) Now open! 



The Philippine Coral Reef Exhibit, the World's Deepest Living
Coral Reef Display, will be housed in a 212,000- gallon aquarium
tank in the new CAS at the Golden State Park in San Francisco
and it will feature a variety of corals, fish, and other sea creatures
that are native to the Philippines. According to CAS Senior Curator
Dr. Terry Gosliner, the Philippine Marine Biodiversity is something
that the Academy has been wanting to showcase. Similar
to the Philippine wild reef exhibit at the Shedd Aquarium


Talk about Green? The Living Roof is out of this world!


  But go see it for yourself!

Do you remember the first time you voted for President?

Ok, I admit it...Jimmy Carter was running against Gerald Ford.
I had a driver's license and the right to vote!  I was on my way
to the land of ADULTHOOD...Or so I thought!  Nevertheless, it was a
good feeling.  I'd love to hear your first time story too.

Hello Miranda

My first vote, during the primaries, was for Shirley Chisholm. 
My dad was very angry with me because he said I wasted my
vote, I said, “No, it’s time for a woman to be president.”  Little
did we know we’re still waiting for that time.  You can tell I’m
aging myself, but I was thinking ahead of my parents time.

KKSF Listener Lydia of Danville 

Hello Miranda, Look for my dad
Andrew Hatch, in the news this week. He will be one of the 
oldest men in the world at 110 years young October 7th, God
willing. I am so proud and grateful God saw fit to keep him 
around so long. He lives a vibrant life, cooking, cleaning,
laughing and "going to town" on his motor scooter. He gives
all the credit to "the man upstairs for his longevity. God is
good!
KKSF Listener, Delane Sims, Oakland
