Cactus League Here I Come!

Chef John (as I write about myself in the third person) will be taking a small vacation to Arizona to take in some spring training baseball. So if you don't see any new posts for a few days, and/or I don't reply to your comments or emails, I apologize in advance.

Every spring, for about 20 years, I�ve tried to figure out a way to get down to the San Francisco Giant�s Cactus league spring training. Until this year I was 0 for 20. The streak is over! Thanks to a confluence of good luck, good timing, and great in-laws, I�m headed down there for a few days of sun and fun.

Now, since the Giants haven�t won the World Series since I�ve been in San Francisco, and since I�ve never been to Spring Training, I can�t help but think there may be some connection. The way I figure, since I�m going to be down there this year, helping them get ready, they should win it all (beating the Yankees in 7). You heard it here first.

By the way, I�ll try to post a few items from the road. There must be some desert Internet caf�s somewhere. Stay tuned and�Go Giants!
