In today’s world it seems there’s a whole raft of wine reviewers, pundits, bloggers and just plain old friends who want to tell you what wines you should drink.
Part of every professional chef’s training involves being frugal with food.
The April evening that Kristine “Bala” Wong flung open the door to Zen Asian Fusion Tapas and Lounge.
Wacky, irreverent, and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, The Pirates Of Penzance, or, The Slave of Duty spins a hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters, and an eccentric Major General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty. One of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular comic operas, The Pirates Of Penzance follows the story of Frederic, an orphan who was mistakenly apprenticed to a pirate instead of a pilot, due to a hard-of-hearing nurse. Upon reaching his 21st birthday, Frederic rejoices that he has fulfilled his indenture and is now free to return to respectable society, but in a cruel twist of fate, he must remain apprenticed to the pirates for another 63 years. Mayhem ensues in true Gilbert and Sullivan style, featuring a gaggle of soft-hearted pirates, a Major General who knows nothing of military strategy, his beautiful unwed daughters, and a chorus of bumbling constabulary, all contributing to one of the most uproarious operettas in the history of musical theatre. Featuring some of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most well-known songs, including “Poor Wand’ring One” and “A Modern Major General,” The Pirates Of Penzance simultaneously debuted in England and America in order to secure the copyright for the production in 1879.

Sandwiched
Life can get extremely complicated for adults “sandwiched” between taking care of children and aging parents.
But for middle-aged Alamedans juggling careers with the responsibilities of child care and elder care, help is on the way in this month’s cover article, “Elder Care 101,” a survey of resources and advice on navigating the complex world of geriatric services.
Contributor Linda Childers, whose son was 3 when she had to confront the best way to assist her 75-year-old mother, knows firsthand how overwhelming the experience can be, so she brings a thoughtful approach to this complex issue. Her article covers the elder care gamut, with Childers introducing professional care agencies, geriatric care managers and fiduciary experts as well as talking to locals to see what worked.
With this information, the sandwich generation will be able to make better informed choices and decisions related to caring for aging loved one, so see what tools are available to enter the realm of elder care with confidence.
After that heady read, take some time to see the rest of what’s in store in this issue: a brassy boot camp diva, presidential inaugural coverage, an amazing cellist, a profile of the NAACP’s Ben Jealous, a home tour of a treasure-filled Harbor Bay home and a review of the new restaurant Zen. It’s all Alameda, all the time.
