Funny how we ended up with these 2 posts. One written by me 3 years ago, and now this from the little sister (well, younger sister, because we aren’t little anymore…)

I’m in a food mood (when am I not anyway?) so I’ll tell you about some goodies I found at the shops.
Sounds a bit like bufala, and yes it is mozzarella. But better. Think mozzarella in bag form, filled with cream and soft mozzarella chunks and other fatty goodness. One of my SILs orders this at restaurants but J and I have never bought it because it always came in about a pound-size, for say 14 dollars…which we would have sprung for if we thought our bodies could take it. I seriously think we would get sick from eating half a pound each.
When we were at Rainbow Grocery today J found a small pack of burrata. About a quarter pound, for less than 3 dollars. So together with the heirloom tomato and basil in our CSA box, some organic mission olive oil (also from Rainbow, the best tasting reasonably priced one in the grocery, acc. to J), salt and pepper…
all that we needed was our Acme baguette to dip…and slurp slurp slurp.
Nothing elaborate, just a square of the best tasting dark chocolate I think I’ve had. I’m a milk chocolate girl, but this one is so smooth I love it now. You can taste the dark chocolate, but it’s not bitter at all, it has a creamy smooth taste, like just the right amount of milk was added. Acckk if you see this one be sure to buy it. If it costs more that 5 dollars (mine did) just close your eyes and stop buying coffee shop coffee for 2 or 3 days, its so worth it.
an old highschool classmate tells you “Wow, you haven’t aged a bit!!!” :S
Well, I do feel it, this aging thing.
This year I’ve been to
- podiatrist - for flat feet, and plantar fasciitis, and I learned I had an extra bone in my foot
- chiropractor - arm pain, from muscles clenching and stress
- dentist - to have a tooth taken out, tooth planing (to avert the dreaded gingivitis), and 2 more teeth to be taken out this Thursday…(Imagine, I have only 1 molar left!!!)
- ob/gyn - high point of the exam being “Mai, so you’re turning 35, do you plan on having kids?”. She was very nice though, and agreed that not every person is meant to be a parent.
- eye doctor - yearly glasses update
Grabe, if I were a car I’d be due for a major overhaul.
Although I attribute a lot of this to carelessness and lack of exercise. To think, the YMCA is just a few blocks away, and J and I make it seem like it is such a pain to go…hay.
