I haven't lived in the Bay area for some 30 years, but when I was out there we used to eat these Icecream and cookie things called "itsits" as long as your'e experiencing our (yours now) junk food offerings you should try one of these if they still exist. I liked them so much I named one of my springer spaniels after them... oh, and maybe a trip to a local drinking dive for a pickeled egg or herring!
you know that we don't actually EAT all of these junk food items you're buying, right???
maybe in the 80's...;)

Jeez ... at least wait until you're married to pack on that extra 250 pounds. It's the American way.

stop the penistry
actually, i've already put on weight, but that's due more to the fact that i haven't been working 42-hour weeks on my feet for almost a month.
hostess cupcakes: excellent
root beer: foulest, revoltingest thing EVER. why did i think it was going to taste like ginger beer??

Try Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve Root Beer poured over two scoops of Häagen-Dazs vanilla ice cream. You'll change your tune.

Maybe Root Beer is one of those things that you have to grow up on to like.
Kinda like Marmite....

Rubyred How do you like the California wine? the raisons? the fruit? and the almonds?
A root beer float is better than just root beer.

haven't tried any CA wine yet... we went out for dinner the first weekend i was here, and the only sauvignon blanc they had on the list was from new zealand!! i saw some nz wine in trader joe's the other day - a popular and moderately expensive vinyard back home - and it's way cheaper here. liquour in general seems to be anything from 30% to 50% cheaper here as well. there were also nz apples at TJs so i got one for jordan.
we went to the local farmers' market on saturday - i was overwhelmed by the stalls just laden with summer fruit. so delicious!

jordan will tell you if he can't hear the stereo anymore . . .
I am a fan of Trader Joe's. I enjoy
their spinach lasagna - single servings.
Have you had the jo jos - chocolate covered cookies?
I don't eat sugar, or chocolate, but you might.
I hear they're killer.

I was kidding about the 250 pounds, but really, once you've tried it all you should avoid making it a habit. American junk food is just as deadly as cigarettes (only slower).
California is the place to be for fresh fruit and produce. We've got everything.

Rubyred Go to the juice bar and get the wheat grass shot with your Smoothie. On the side it's as refreshing as a freshly mowed lawn. Yummie!
Hey, I was drinking an IBC Root Beer while reading this-love them.
Trader Joe's is pretty good, I'm going tomorrow. We had some Bucati tonight from their which I guess is an Italian pasta.
Junk food is very, bad for you-stay away from the meth, too.
California has great fruit, we spend more money on that then the other catergories of food. Corn, watermelon, salad stuff is great. I had black velvet apricots this week and they were neat, kind of a cross between a plum and a nectarine.

If you want to taste true sweets from America, try "Funny Bones." Not sure if you have them in LA. My wife is from Alabama and has never seen them, but they rock. Milk chocolate-covered chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. Two of those with a tall glass of 1% milk and sex will no longer seem quite as important.

Congrats Ruby!
I wouldn't mind moving to NZ myself. Or, any Blue State in the Union.
