Today's pie has corn, feta cheese, parsley and a bunch of other things, including a squeeze of lime. I was pretty happy about getting in before the line got crazy long (all the way down the block).
I also love the teeny bonus slice(s) they give you. I took it as reward for driving out to North Berkeley and waiting in line ;D
This is why this awesome market is a must-go every time I cross the bridge to the East Bay. Organic red quinoa, kamut flakes, black sesame seeds, whole wheat orzo, loose Israeli couscous, pumpkin flax granola, roasted fava beans, hemp seed, black jasmine rice, you name it, you can probably find it here in the loose grains section at Berkeley Bowl West.
I love Berkeley.
Saw this first on apartmenttherapy.com of course, but I absolutely love the design of this piece. It's perfectly ghostly and takes me straight back to elementary school.
Hat tip to The Butter Flying for the idea, but as tempted as I was to buy one of these, I'm struck by how ridiculously easy this looks to make myself. Cut different flower shapes, string together, and hang! Three or four of these, in different sizes, are definitely going in either my bathroom or kitchen.
As in, my Advertise.com representative's virtual business card. I think! I just got an e-mail from this guy for the first time and had to do this double-take at the image he included as a signature. Whoever came up with this V-card thing clearly didn't think things all the way through. That, or I have my mind in the gutter. Either way, I thought it was pretty amusing.
I should maybe be a little more miffed that these guys are straight-up copying the original Kogi Korean BBQ taco truck down in LA, but as I only get to visit my favorite city once in a blue moon, and because they are so hard to track down, I'm not going to complain too much that I can now find a comparable experience up here in Norcal.
Has anyone actually seen them? Eaten their tacos? Let's do a food cart crawl!
Hat tip: Thrillist.com. Those guys are bomb.
If the previews were not enough to whet our appetites, then surely this sweetly, darkly suggestive photo of Chuck + Blair (Chair? Bluck?) will. Hot.
I know I am just setting myself up for disappointment when November comes and me and my grown-up friends get trampled in the theater by scores of rabid teenagers on their way to watch the New Moon movie. But I find myself pouncing on every little morsel we're getting in the way of previews, and savoring it in a most untoward fashion.
Anyway I really wish Jacob Black didn't have to chop his beautiful hair off halfway through the movie. It's such a shame. I am not usually into long-haired dudes but on native Americans, it works. In fact, on Jacob Black, the mane is downright dreamy. (I mean... 0:30-32, 0:39 even though it's so obviously CGI'd, and that intense look at 0:55 omg omg omg omg OMG!).
Yes I realize I'm talking as if he's a real person. Shut up. Team Jacob 4-evarrrrr.
One good thing about speaking elementary Chinese is that I can get away with asking people elementary questions, like, "Ni cong na li lai?" or "Where are you from?" In this way, I discovered that the driver of my moving truck was from Shandong. As soon as he said that, I nodded in recognition and told him I knew about the famous Shandong noodles.
