Just picked up a new book.

I'm just starting to read "The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals" by Michael Pollan. From the library, had to put it on hold so must finish it as peeps are waiting for it.

Anyway, I'm still in the midst of the Introduction. Will post more about it when I read more. So far it's mostly talking about how the simple question: "What's for dinner?" is a big problem because as omnivores we can eat anything. It's also talked about how America really doesn't have a food culture as it's such a new country and all the bits that come from everywhere else is part of what has brought on America's National Eating Disorder along with the political/governmental interference. How things wouldn't be quite so bad if the gov't had just stayed out of it.

I'm babbling and this is just what I've gotten from the flyleaves & first 5+ pages of the Introduction.

Another few months later....

And yeah I've been back to Vivace. Just sucked it up and ordered the low foam. They didn't mind too much. I love their raw sugar shaker. Yum! But a big BOO HISS I-should-call-the-health-department as when I last went in I was going to get a pasty out of their case, they always look sooo good. Well...they had a nice Bavarian Creme donut with chocolate frosting on top. You know, the kind with a hole punched in the side where they piped in the filling, well as I was standing there looking at them a few fruitflies came out and started to do what looked like a mating dance across the top of the donut with a few more just lounging about in and out of the hole. Then I noticed more fruit & house type flies all over everything inside the case. I was about to puke & bolt right then. I even told the guy and he just leaned over, looked at them, and shrugged a tiny, "Ew?" Yuck! The worst thing is this was at lunch. The stuff'd been there since that morning, and when I walked by that night on the way to the bus it was all still there...for sale. GROSS! I've not been able to bring myself to go back in there at all. Part of the reason the flies were in there so prolifically is that the back of the case, that they staff accesses to get you your treats is all open. No protection at all. Wonder if I should pop my head in sometime the owner's there and mention it. Loudly so all customers can hear me. Don't get me wrong, I love their product, very good mochas etc, but the yuck factor is just too much for me.

Anyway, go over to my LiveJournal for the most recent stuff. Well...actually the more recent recent thoughts spewing outta my head is on Twitter.
