• 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.
