Simple things

Nothing drastic around these parts.  Here's look at the simple things keeping me happy right now.

Um, pink salt? Double hockey stick yeah!  And for free? Thanks Safeway.

Isn't this purdy? At Naked Fish, it's called Sun Rise.  That's right, raw fish and raw egg.  While beautiful to look at, I'm not sure it agreed entirely with my sister.  Needless to say, we won't be ordering this bad boy again to fulfill our daily protein quota.

Say Pamplemousse 5 times fast!

With our City pickings slim, my sister and I went a little out our way to pick up these delectable delicacies  from Pamplemousse in Redwood City.  My sister ordered one in every flavor they had available (the website lists 35 flavors, I think we tried 15 or so.  In one day.  Yesh, fatties we are.

  For $1.95 each, they weren't bad for the price.  If you buy 12, you get one free. 

My only gripe was this:

A few of them looked like this after the first bite.  I hate when macarons crack and crumble.

I found these in the Trader Joe's Freezer aisle.  At $4.99, way cheaper than getting them at your local French Bakery.  There's only a dozen (6 each of the vanilla and chocolate). You have to let sit out for half an hour to reach room temperature.

 I am embarrassed delighted to say we finished them all in one sitting.  And I went out to buy more the next day.
