Bay Area adventures: 4 day trips via a San Francisco Bay Ferry

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:00 GMT

Sailing away on a Bay Area ferry is like having your own little party cruise but much cheaper. The ocean breeze whistling in your ears, the cold beers with happy, Hawaiian shirt-clad strangers, the views of Alcatraz and the Bay Bridge – sorry BART, but why wouldn’t people take the ferry as often as humanly possible?The ferry is not just for commuters. It’s a little adventure all on its own. And summer and fall are the perfect time to get out on our water-based fun-time transit and have some fun, both aboard and after you disembark — tasty eats, interesting sights and more. Here are four suggestions on how to turn a ferry trip to Alameda, Oakland, San Francisco or Mare Island into something more.A quick note: We chose the San Francisco Bay Ferry, because it has more routes than the also-splendid Golden Gate Ferry. Whether you use your Clipper card, an app or a paper ticket, ferry fare ranges from $4.60 to $9.30 one way, and kids under five are free. Find details and...

Taste-Off: The best (and worst) trail mix pouches — ranked

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:00 GMT

Filling the lunchbox with foods that will please and nourish is a lofty, demanding goal. But trail mix is a great solution to the snack quandary. A tasty handful of real, unprocessed nuts, seeds and fruit delivers lots of the right things, including protein, fiber and antioxidants.Trail mix packets come in many forms — and yes, many incorporate chocolate, but for this taste test, we stuck with the non-meltable, entirely nutritious nut and cranberry mixes. Most of the versions we sampled include either cashews or almonds, plus various other nuts and seeds.While the specific fruits and nuts in these mixes is important, the most critical issue is freshness. In spite of the fact that every packet we tried was well within its use-by dates, nearly half had freshness issues.The problem is that nuts are very high in the kind of fat that goes rancid quickly. Their shelf life is 6 to 12 months, if stored in a cool, dark place. Rancid nuts not only taste awful, they’re potentially bad fo...
