"ripe pdx" news and stories

You've been reading our ramblings here at Slashfood for months now, so isn't it about time you get to know us? Over the next few weeks, we'll be playing 20 questions with our Slashfood bloggers, just so you can see what kind of insanity is cooking in our brains. And kitchens. Last week we profiled Nick Vagnoni, this week it's Honolulu-born, San Francisco resident Stefania Pomponi Butler.

Do you have a personal blog?
Yes, CityMama and its offshoot FamilyFood

What is your day job, or rather, what do you do when you're not food blogging?
I blog about all things parenting and do freelance marketing writing. I work from home so I can be with my two girls, ages 3 and 1.

How long have you been blogging with Slashfood and what is your favorite post?
I don't remember. I started contributing soon after Slashfood started, Sarah Gilbert, my former editor at Blogging Baby said, "We're writing for Slashfood, too!"

Favorite post:  (one of my favorites) The eight worst things at Trader Joe's. Sometimes, I like to rant.

Do you have any non-food-related, non-blogging hobbies?
Ohmigod, I don't. No, wait! Reading.

Not every foodie does, but do you cook?
Absofrickinlutely. Cooking is my life, my art, my passion. I don't play an instrument or paint or sing. I cook.
