The new Acme Herb Slab

Since Acme was out of their cheese rolls, I was forced to make a split decision and go with the Herb Slab. The old slab used to be quite unctuous- overly slathered in olive-oil. The new slab has regular crust and makes an excellent tomato sandwich.

Berkely Bowl West

I have been waiting years for the new Berkeley Bowl opening so when I finally shuffled in, I was strangely underwhelmed. Perhaps the massive store size led me to fantasize that there would be yet even more kinds of fruits and vegetables. BBW had made a decision to segregate organic from conventional in a severe way to make it very difficult to do comparison shopping.

I haven't been back as it's just too much confusion. I just couldn't make good decisions as to what my basket needed- I was endlessly roaming around a bit dumbfounded.
