PurpleStride time again! We’re walking for Pancreatic Cancer on June 22 at Crissy Field

Last year we walked with our friend Yolanda and her husband Wes.

Since then Yolanda’s courageous 6 year journey ended and we saw her on to a new adventure. With her passing, we all were left with a space in our hearts from her touch. But come June we will be grabbing our sneakers again and walking in the PanCan.org‘s   5k PurpleStride here in San Francisco. We (Paul and I) set a small goal for ourselves – but would love to beat last years goal of $600.

Yolanda rarely ever stepped back from a challenge and knew the meaning of take a bite our of life with two hands! Don’t let her legacy and those of the so many others with PC be for nothing. Take part, Take a bite!

 


 

Consider donating if you can – you can to donate to our walk donate page here: Frank & Paul’s 5K Adventure or if you are up for a great day at Crissy field with a bunch of fun folks – consider joining Yolanda’s Team and walk with us.

My Students create this PSA last Spring

and this fall they went wider and did one for the South Bay too!

Pickled Eggplant

Our family had a version that is a favorite – and I hear via FB that my sisters are at it today. One of the difference to my mom’s recipe is that they has the eggplants cut in shoestring pieces – not just in sliced. (Sort of the same way we do fried celery at the holidays.)

I’ve asked my sister Gina  to share the recipe  – but in the mean time – this is via her mobile post

Getting started…

Over the years I have been posting on the food I eat and make, as well as places I stay on the various social network sites -but more recently folks I was asked if I had a primary blog that captured that content. BiteTheRoad.com is my attempt to catalogue my life beyond work.

Fair Warning.. I am never sure what will come out in this process and own the right to change it as I go!
