TODAYS FLUFF: Bay Area’s Best Mac & Cheese
Image via Wikipedia
Does this story titilate the stoner in you? I haven’t touch “herb” in over 15 yrs but I’m constantly convicted of eating like a stoner at times. For example sliced apples with tuna fish on them or frozen burritos with mustard, honey and cottage cheese on top. But my favorite most stoner like food is a duo I pick up from the Whole Foods hot bar. A tower of a scoop of Mac and Cheese and them topped with a massive scoop of pulled BBQ chicken. Need I say more, I’m hungry and headed to one of these joints listed for some comfort!
_____________________________________________________
It’s old school, familiar and comforting. Macaroni and cheese has been an American staple for generations. And this classic is making a gourmet comeback. Here’s the best of the Bay’s cheesiest spots and newest twists on this all time favorite.
One of “our” neighborhood restaurants made this elite list.

Home Restaurant was created under the guiding principle that simple, classic comfort food can be prepared in a way that dazzles your taste buds, evokes home-cooked emotions and goes easy on your wallet. What better place, then, to order up mac and cheese? Made with three cheeses and topped with crispy breadcrumbs, this classic is one of many on the fabulous menu. Swing by for the early bird special and dig into a taste of home. Literally.

San Franciscos Baby-boom of High-End Health Food Stores
Mollie Stones, Whole Foods , Trader Joes , etc are popping up everywhere these days in San Francisco neighborhoods. I am usually 100% for these yummy specialty grocery stores. I look forward to my occasional trips to Traders Joe, a treat, a pat on my back and reward myself with a bag of treats( I’m a TOTAL SUCKER for cool or “healthy” packaging). Now that these type grocery stores are becoming COMMON, will they loose their flare?

Whole Foods Haight Almost Ready For Business
(credit: Matt Baume)
Next Wednesday, the former shopping sphincter formerly known as Cala Bell in the Upper Haight will be officially replaced with a brand new Whole Foods. While this may appear non-newsworthy to those of you lucky enough to live near a decent supermarket, those of us who lived year after year after year in the Haight know how special this moment will be, controversies be damned.
Matt Baume attended the preview of the store earlier this week, snapping these delightful shots while touring the joint. At NBC Bay Area, Baume explained how this Whole Foods will differ from the rest. Ahem:
The store will employ about 180 employees, and uses lots of recycled and re-used elements. The checkout area sits atop a former high school gym floor, and some walls are made of reclaimed redwood. That redwood was carbon-dated to about 2,200-years-old.Yes, you read that right. Parts of Whole Foods are older than Jesus.
Also, the place will come equipped with picnic tables just outside the market’s doors, which “might wind up being a good early test of sit/lie.” And how.
Whole Foods Haight opens Wednesday, February 16, at 690 Stanyan (at Haight).

Lets Talk; Biodegradable Straws & “Green” Cups
I woke up this morning with two felines staring down at me from the the shelf below. I quickly remember that we’re out of cat food. I acted quickly because I thinking they were sizing up my eyeballs as the next-best-thing for breakfast. Cat food √ , next I found myself at Ritual Coffee on Valencia for our morning coffee (jesus juice) for me and my better half who was still in bed. I rolled up on my sleeves of my flannel to expose my tattoos in hopes of receiving better/ faster (it’s that kind of place) I have a love-hate relationship with Ritual. I hate it when I wait in line for 10 minutes for an ice coffee and pay $2.50 for a scone half the normal size, but I love them when they make “purdy” designs on the top of my boyfriends mocha.
OK OK, what was my point here? Ahhh, I remember now. I approached the milk station there in a stylish red container were straws and on the outside marked ” Biodegradable Straws”. I’ve seen them before but they haven’t stroke me like they did today. 1st thought, COOL, 2nd thought , WHY? and 3rd thought . . .Damn , this is a “deelish” ice coffee ( FYIRituals ice coffee tastes like chocolate to me) . This is what I found out about these FANCY-MODERN STRAWS
