- Epoisses (stinky french cheese)... so much so that the sighs of pleasure caused zack to come running into the kitchen and ask if something was wrong. 
 
    - Poached eggs.  I've been so sad since my favorite egg vendor disappeared from the farmer's market.  He reappeared briefly a couple of weeks ago, saying that the rains have kept him away, but I haven't seen him since.  However, I found his eggs at Monterey Market yesterday.  I couldn't resist poaching a couple almost immediately, with some 
 
    - Toast.  With poached eggs (naturally), but also butter, pomegranate jelly, dulce de leche, apple butter, creme fraiche, honey, and of course... 
 
    - Nutella.  I forgot why I stopped buying this.  Now I remember.  Every single time I walk by it, I have to resist sticking my finger in the jar for a taste! 
 
    - Fava beans.  They just say "spring" to me 
 
    - Strawberries.  Exorbinantly priced, but I want some to go with the aceto balsamico tradizionale I got for Christmas.  Last year at this time, they were 0.59 a basket.  Damn you, rains.  Damn you, oil companies. 
 
    - Hot dogs.  A hot dog stand ("Fatt Dog") just opened downstairs from my building.  I have made it my goal to try every dog they offer... but will only eat there every other week.
