Random musings...

Cal-Mart has bok choy (not the good baby stuff) on sale for $.89 per pound. Perhaps I should go buy some.

It's October and I would love to start making soups and stews again...The only problem is that it is still too hot! October 10, 2010 was a 90°F day and it looks like there is no relief in sight for the next few weeks. Don't even get me started on how it is still to early to carve pumpkins--they'll rot in 3 days and won't make it to Halloween in this weather.

There will be a conference highlighting Japanese food next month. I'm psyched--I love Japanese food-- but I was a little bummed out when I realized they will be serving uni (sea urchin), and lots of it. Uni and I have a love/hate relationship--I love it and it HATES me. So sad.

One of the best things I have eaten in my life was as at Willi's Seafood Bar in Healdsburg--Macaroni and Uni--a play on macaroni and cheese (the food that makes life worth living). Let me describe: Perfectly cooked homemade fusilli with a deliciously rich cream sauce infused with sea urchin. It was perfectly nutty, salty, and rich. And there was no cheese involved. AMAZING.

I could eat pho every day. Just sayin'.

I drove from California to New Jersey last week and the most interesting place I ate was a tie between Cracker Barrel and White Castles. I'm not proud of this.

That is all...for now...
