I live in Petaluma but feel qualified to speak on Sonoma County in general, heh.

Aloha! It’s a fun place to play around 
This might just be the most popular thread on the entire site (if you enjoy cooking & a jovial community):
And of course, there are regional boards & topical ones as well.

Joanna and I are both members of The Well, an old-school online discussion community. Today there was a discussion there about Discourse. @stan, another Wellbeing, mentioned HO and I posted links to my WFD posts, and she joined us here right away.

I am! Petaluma Foodies too. The best food I’ve had in Sonoma County is Han Bul Korean BBQ in Santa Rosa, I’m also a particular fan of Sushi Hana in Rohnert Park, Sol food (Puerto Rican), Kafal for Indian & Abyssinia for Ethiopian. In Petaluma, I enjoy TAPS By the River for comfort food, De La Fattoria, and Quixote. Sebastopol has the best Ramen.

Im in Southern Oregon.
We have a Southern Oregon foodies group of which folks are friends with the Medicino foodies who seem to be friends with the Sonoma group.
Didn’t know of Petaluma guys.
Cool 
Welcome! The NorCal contingent is pretty well represented here, with folks from the south bay to the Mendocino coast and east toward Tahoe, both for restaurants conversation and cooking/baking/ingredient info.
You mentioned Sol Food. You mean that awesome bright green San Rafael place? (I lived in Marin for about 15 years)
I’ll have to check out Sushi Hana…

Do you enjoy lentils??
They’re not my favorite but I use them fairly often, I’ve been trying them as my protein in bolognese, and that’s going ok.
I like Adas Polo, a delicious rice dish with brown lentils, dates and raisins.
And daal is of course amazing, but I’m more likely to order that out than make it at home.
Thanks for asking
