One of our favorite spring flowers are Tulips, which are in full bloom just in time for Mother’s Day each year. Our selection of tulips is grown by Sun Valley Floral Farms in Northern California, just as Mother Nature intended – in soil, after going through a nice, cold “winter.” The premium bulbs used by Sun Valley’s growers (Lane, Tim & Tanner) produce sturdy tulips with vibrant-colored large buds, intense dark-green foliage and a long vase life.

The baseball season is long and grueling, and in order to perform at his best on the field each day, Buster Posey takes his training and nutrition seriously. Buster was introduced to BODYARMOR sports drink a couple of years ago and has since made it a key part of his daily routine. He joins an impressive roster of young, superstar athletes including Andrew Luck, Mike Trout, LeSean McCoy, Rob Gronkowski, James Harden and Kevin Love.

Carl created this recipe because the margaritas we’ve had in many bars add too much sugar or sweet & sour mix. This covers the flavor of the alcohol and makes the drink too sweet for our taste. There are other tequilas and orange liquors to choose from, but Milagro Tequila and Cointreau Orange Liquor are our favorites.
A word of warning: Don’t drink too many – these are pretty powerful!
Viburnum season is one of the most exciting floral events of spring. Our friends at Sun Valley are known for many year-round offerings (such as Tulips, Lilies and Irises), but the Viburnum season comes and goes quickly. The pick started at Sun Valley’s farm in Willow Creek at the end of March, and will last only into early May. The northern California farm’s mountain canyon locale provides a unique micro-climate that produces a fantastic spring show starring this award-winning flower.

From Kiley, Mollie Stone’s Craft Beer Expert
In late 2009, a friend of Mollie Stone’s named Paul Saporita approached me and asked who managed the beer at our Burlingame store because he loved our selection. I told him I did, and asked why. Paul told me that he and a few buddies brewed a beer that was on top at several high end beer destinations including Pi Bar, Rosamunde and Monk’s Kettle. They were brewing a Belgian, which was somewhat uncommon ..read more
We could not resist adding to the ever-growing collection of bacon-studded dessert recipes. This one is especially unique, taking advantage of uniquely delicious duck bacon and magnifying the smoky salty contrast of sweet sugary brittle with smoked, salted almonds. This would make a fun hostess gift or holiday goodie.

BLTs remind me of summers visiting my Grandparents in the Midwest. My Grandpa loved the tomatoes he grew in his backyard; I thought they were okay – better than the ones I was used to from the supermarket – but I was not a tomato person and usually turned them down. I did not understand how he could eat a plate of sliced tomatoes, sprinkled only with salt, with his dinner every night.
The abundance of summer tomatoes also meant BLTs ..read more
