Food Free-for-All

It wasn’t “healthy” food, it was regular food. We ate mac and cheese and cookies and white breads, just not the grocery store ones. And we ate out fairly often.

I remember summer as icy, cold watermelon cracked into big hunks and eating it with juice getting all over us, spitting seeds at each other. It was fun.

They are! I’ve seen 'em in Vons down here in LA but only in vanilla and mint, I believe.

Used to live 5 minutes from the It!s It facility in Burlingame. It’s a very old Bay Area tradition and deserves to be. Pumpkin is about as adventurous as they seem to get though.

I remember going to the little shack where they sold the It’s It’s next to Playland by the beach . A stones throw from the Cliff House .

I would like to try this croissant. I now understand the importance of flaky (shatter) on the outside… kinda’. But for me, what is missing with Chaumont, Bouchon and others, is the tender, buttery, brioche-ness on the inside. Hello!

Was checking out at Safeway at Tahoe yesterday and there was a man buying two boxes of them (I’m guessing each held four?) They live in Dallas and visit Tahoe every summer. His family of four eats 30ish of them every trip!
