Are we dreaming? The return of Sally Socolich and Allison Serrell to the Chron's H&G pages? We're practically giddy with delight. Even if they're not regular contributors, we'll take what we can get.

The lead article this Wednesday was on bamboo. Allison Serrell fills us in on the material's use not only as flooring, but as clothing, bedding, furnishings, paneling, and cabinets.
