Yep that’s the norm in SF. And I have zero issue with it. The less people who are uninsured, the more health insurance costs.

Wow @ProfessionalHobbit I wish I had visited that restaurant when I was in town 2 weeks ago! Something to look forward to. Happy birthday to your husband.

Miso soup always calms my stomach and this purchase has been pretty awesome

My mother was and is a good baker and Home cook. That said, my birthday is on St. Patrick’s Day. I loooved Carvel ice cream as a kid. I was scared of the owner of the local store for some reason but Carvel ice cream cakes are a thing in NJ. Instead of getting a Cookie Puss or Fudgy the Whale cake, I got a “Cookie O Puss” for my birthday. I favored the frosting and vanilla/ mint chocolate ice cream parts with the cookie crunchies. I told my husband all about this. I hope he listened!

Am I crazy or does anyone else see a bunny’s side profile by the pup’s ear? 😂

@dcarch you said you’ve eaten at Bourdain’s restaurants. I missing something? AFAIK his only true executive chef job was Les Halles decades ago and the restaurant in NYC closed in March 2016.

Lunch on the water in SF at Greens Restaurant. Gorgeous views, good wine and the Meyer lemon fettuccine was good too.

A bit bewildered by the recycling in CA having to be in a bag. Seems like more waste.

United has done a lot to upgrade the service from SFO and EWR. That said, I flew first/business/ whatever class it is that has the fully reclining seats from SFO to EWR a week and a half ago and will do the return trip in a few days. The meals were ok. They did offer a lot of snacks. You can kind of make out the menu from this picture. The bedding was nice— from Saks. They always serve a sundae as a dessert. That’s gotten old, IMO.

Yea, Les Halles closed over two years ago. I’m a bit surprised they still have their signage up.

The fruit back at home in NJ isn’t local yet. But I’m in Northern CA for a bit and the strawberries are fantastic!! The corn is decent too.

I would too— I don’t get why one hasn’t come to Morris County yet. I almost want to franchise one.

Cold sesame noodles are a favorite. Especially in the warmer months.

Heartbreaking.

This looks like Dominos to me... am I wrong? @robinstx I live in Northern NJ and can get great pizza from local places within an hour.

I am SO jealous. I have a raised bed from the former home owners but between the chipmunks and rabbits (which aren’t scared of my dopey dog as she ignores them) and the deer it seems like I’d be wasting time unless I got a professional in to help me start.

I literally cannot even begin to handle the negative thoughts on this thread. My mom used to sing me this Beatles song which is the title of this thread when I was about 5 or 6 and she would let me put hair mousse on my face like a beard. I’m now 38, my mom is 68. I think it’s remarkable how well people are aging lately and consider it a blessing. I also agree with all of you that when it’s the end? Or close to? Give your loved ones exactly what they want. My father had a quadruple bypass at 54– it was some congenital issue (I should likely look into) and his diet was excellent. And still is— he’s allergic to all polultry and rarely eats red meat so he eats a lot of seafood. But when he wanted a scotch or a glass of wine once he was home? Damn right I gave it to him. And that was 16 years ago. We are all aging. It’s not depressing to recognize it and talk about how each of us would like to eat. Or what we’d like to eat. I find it interesting. Getting older doesn’t mean a lack of a palate or lack of patience and eating shit food. (By negative thoughts I meant the ones that are not readily viewable).

WOW @HungryChris that’s a perfect meal in my opinion!

Thanks @ProfessionalHobbit my husband would eat steak 24/7 but I just can’t handle it.

I’m not at all surprised. and these women are saying the same thing I’ve said— I’ve never NOT been sexually harassed or assaulted in all of the various restaurant jobs I’ve had. I’ve always considered Batali a creep. Same with Flay. The supersize me guy will do anything for attention. Hated his documentary, have zero respect for him.

Thanks. I’m thinking about Zuni Cafe for the roast chicken— is it as good was people mentioned in the past? And Liholiho Yacht Club because the menu is amazing.

Those are some seriously gorgeous chocolates. If anyone gets the time can you all take a group picture? Loving this thread!

Kings does the same-has it displayed. It it’s a separate purchase in a small area in store to purchase alcohol. You can’t put any booze in with your groceries. Alsi the old A&P in Morristown which is now a Whole Foods sold beer and wine (I never noticed liquor as it didn’t interest me then) in the store that you’d be able to purchase with your groceries. I am not an A&P fan but when you’re a college student and you’re parents will give you a credit card to buy groceries... This was at least 18 years ago.

That looks amazing. I think I’d have to call ahead to see when it’s available!
