Where is the box now?? It's been a while since the last update. Sorry if I'm being impatient. Thanks!!
Also, have all of the pics of Flat Stanley taken so far been posted yet? - Cheryl Jones
good question - my kids (and I) love watching his travels - Bill Rawlinson
It might be fun to just send around a Flat Stanley for people to take out on photo shoots. I'd sign up for doing that again. :) - Cheryl Jones
It is definitely cheaper than shipping the box - Bill Rawlinson
Bump :D - AJ Batac
I think it is in Vancouver, WA. - Anne Bouey
I haven't been around here much, but where's Tina? - Cheryl Jones
I'm still here, Cheryl, just very busy here lately. There was a delay but the box should be on its way to its next recipient (Anne) as we speak... - FFing Enigma (aka Tina)

review : the digital harinezumi, part one - Four Corners Dark : Holga, Lomo, Toy Camera and Low-fi Photography Blog
Show all
"Not since the arrival of the Blackbird, Fly has their been so much anticipation for the release of a Toy Camera. We receive emails daily asking about the Digital Harinezumi, and finally I can give you all of the details. But first, there is that question you all have been asking: Can you have a digital Toy Camera? Yes, you can. You just have to develop the camera with the Toy user in mind, which is exactly what SuperHeadz has done. By starting with the idea of constructing a low-fi digital camera, and purposely adding things like a plastic lens and small chip they have succeeded in bring to market what will become an icon. Far from just a camera, the Harinezumi has become my journal, documenting each day  in little bursts of video and images." - Cheryl Jones from Bookmarklet

Fwd: For sale: Nikon D80 body. Also selling separately, Nikon 18-200 VR I lens, Sigma 70-300 w/macro capability lens, a (cont) http://www.twitlonger.com/show... (via http://friendfeed.com/jezlyn...)
Did you upgrade? - cecily
I did upgrade last summer. I would like to get a different VR lens than the 18-200, and the other stuff I just haven't been using. I have a 70-300 VR that came with my D90, and for a flash I've been using the SB-400. - Cheryl Jones

Going to have a wisdom tooth removed tomorrow morning... Eeek!
Yikes. Good luck. - cecily from iPhone
No likey, but here's to a speedy recovery. - nakachi
Eep. Good luck. - Rodfather
ooh. the drugs they gave me when I had mine out were goooooood. - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Thanks, All! I don't think that the dentist I'm going to is going to give me any "fun" drugs for recovery, but we'll see. Hopefully since it's only one that it won't be so bad. It's been giving me trouble for a long time anyway (it's broken!), so I'm glad to be rid of it. - Cheryl Jones
I'm so happy I have never had issues with wisdom teeth, but I have had two teeth extracted. It wasn't too bad. It didn't hurt that much because one was already broken in half and the other had already fallen out and had the part with the nerves still attached. Just be aware of Dry Socket. That's when the blood clot that protects the socket gets dislodged and it is painful. Rinse your mouth out with warm salt water and keep gauze around it for a while and it'll help with the healing. - Mol, Santa Claws
Thanks, Mol. I have been rinsing with warm salt water, but (and not to gross anyone out or anything) I'm still tasting a bit of blood in my mouth from time to time. Had to put in gauze a couple times today, but it hasn't fully stopped the little bit of bleeding. Just had some applesauce to help mask the taste. :P Will rinse with salt water again soon, I guess. - Cheryl Jones

Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches (with green pepper, I know, I know) - http://www.ezrapoundcake.com/archive...
Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches (with green pepper, I know, I know)
"Once you’ve had three Thanksgiving meals in three different cities, you enter a zone where your next meal needs to be the complete and total opposite of turkey and dressing. A light palette cleanser, perhaps? Maybe a crisp, refreshing sorbet? Oh, HELL no. When you’re serious about hitting the reset button on your palette and your appetite, you’ve really got to go with something like a Philly Cheesesteak. Something packed with beef and onions and peppers and, yes, Cheez Whiz. DON’T YOU JUDGE ME. I’m not a huge fan of processed foods, either, but an authentic cheesesteak requires an ample slathering of the orange stuff. ‘Tis the season. When in Rome. Oh, just do it." - Cheryl Jones from Bookmarklet
O_O - Derrick
What? Is it the Cheez Whiz? I think it looks tasty, but I'm a big fan of trashy food sometimes. :) - Cheryl Jones
I could go for a real cheesesteak. Had a west coast, yuppie-ified impostor cheesesteak the other day, and am still upset about it. - Christopher A Carr
What's in a west-coast, yuppie-ified cheesesteak sandwich? - Cheryl Jones
real cheese... - Andrew C
I have to admit that according to this, I haven't had a "real" Philly cheesesteak, since a) I haven't been to Philly, and b) the cheesesteak sandwiches I've had had real cheese, like provolone or swiss or something like that. - Cheryl Jones
Real cheese steaks won't use fresh jalapenos either, just ones from jars. - Bernie Goldbach

Barnes & Noble Nook Review: Pretty Damn Good - Nook review - http://gizmodo.com/5420216...
Barnes & Noble Nook Review: Pretty Damn Good - Nook review
Show all
"It's a relief to finally lay hands on the Nook. The dual-screen reader was just a prop at its unveiling so I'm happy to report it works (pretty) well. It can't kill Kindle yet, but it's an alternative worth considering." - Derrick from Bookmarklet
I really want a reader and I like how shiny the Nook is, but the Kindle has serious marketshare. But what's with the eBook DRM? It's like iTunes. :( - Derrick
Amazon's marketshare and e-book cred convinced me to go with the Kindle. I really liked Sony's Reader (we have two), but their store was awful, and required software that didn't work on the Mac. That's changed now, though. Sony's e-book store is going DRM-free, IIRC, and they have software for the Mac. But I still prefer Amazon's wireless downloads. I hooked up the Kindle to my computer once, maybe. And I read lots of e-books on the Kindle app on the iPhone. - Cheryl Jones
That said, I'm watching the Nook very closely. Love the hybrid form factor and the perks they have for users, like being able to read e-books for free at a B&N store, and being able to lend out e-books to other people even if they don't have a Nook. - Cheryl Jones
Cheryl: Sony is going entirely epub, an ebook "standard"--but epub does allow for DRM, and AFAIK Sony's store will still use DRM. - Walt Crawford
With this, you can check out e-books from your library if it supports checking out e-books. - Rodfather
I want Ebook reader that is good for technical documents and complex slides, so I am waiting for Plasticlogic Que which hopefully should come next month ready to ship. - ashish
@Walt: thanks for the clarification. I knew that when I was typing that Sony was going DRM-free, that just didn't seem right. :) - Cheryl Jones

Recipe for instant depressed mood: apply for job you're more than qualified for; get e-mail back less than 10 minutes later saying, "we have nothing for you;" think how quickly your friend--who has a job--got an e-mail back from same place saying just the opposite; stare at resume.
DO. NOT. LIKE. - ha3rvey (sup homepants)
:( I'm sorry, e. - Anna Haro
THAT SOME BULL ISH. :( - Derrick
NO. Not good. - SAM
...where is the DISLIKE button?! :(( - JA Castillo
i guess i just wasn't really expecting the rejection. i thought they'd at least let me take the editing tests. yikes. - edythe
Maybe you were overqualified? They might not have wanted to hire you (and by that I mean invest the time and funds in training you) if they thought that it was just going to be a temporary thing for you. - Sarah G.
Gah! That's a gigantic bummer. :-( - vicster

My partner was laid off at the beginning of the year, he applied to 10-12 jobs each day; treating looking for a job like work. He only heard back, from 12 of 76 qualifiers; with a no answer. One day his phone rang and it was a job that he didn't even apply for wanting to fly him out for an interview; he was shocked. Within a week he was hired. Don't give up the fight, there is always a... more... - H0llywoodWh0re

FWIW, here's my job search story: http://eigenmind.blogspot.com/2009... I'm employed now. Just keep working at it and be patient. And remember, you only need 1 yes, so don't think of things in a W-L kind of way :) - LANjackal
thanks, all, very much, for the support. especially Hollywoodwhore, Lanjackal, sarah g., and russell. :) - edythe
No problem, keep your head up. - H0llywoodWh0re
Whatever happens, happens for the best. If you didn't get that job, it means you have a better job waiting just around the corner for you, Polly. Don't get disheartened. <HUGS> <3 - Parth Awasthi
:( I agree with Parth. That just wasn't the right job for you. Hopefully the job that fits comes around soon! - Cheryl Jones
thank you, sweet Parth and Cheryl. :) - edythe

That's a bummer. Cheer up there's a reason for everything! Maybe they are all jerks! - Shari
no! sorry lady. a better job is out there. They can suck it. - Anna Lynn M.
Thanks, David & Shari & Anna. :) - edythe from iPhone
pretty much every job I have ever had I only managed to get by bypassing the HR department (or the company didn't have an HR dept.). HR departments 'weed out' candidates based on the most spurious criteria because they don't understand the required skills and experience. I've been rejected for only having 'XHTML' on my resume instead of 'HTML'. I've been rejected because my resume said... more... - Michael R. Bernstein

BTW, right now I'm looking for work and running into bogus college degree requirements. Hello? I've been doing web design and development since 1996? Doesn't experience count? - Michael R. Bernstein
Many job postings I saw during my 6 mths of unemployment said degree OR experience ... - LANjackal from IM
LanJackal, sure, but when I apply, HR just punts on trying to evaluate my experience. Or, more commonly, they still want to see some college, even without a degree. - Michael R. Bernstein
Yikes dude, FWIW I have an MS degree in my field and was still without a job for 6 months while some people I know who just had an HS diploma kept their jobs. It's rough for everyone nowadays, schooling (or lack thereof) is no longer a determinant of anything - LANjackal from IM
Oh, I'm not complaining about not getting the jobs per-se, I'm complaining about not even getting to interview. - Michael R. Bernstein

Al Dente: Want To Convert A Veggie Hater? Roast 'Em - http://www.aldenteblog.com/2009...
Al Dente: Want To Convert A Veggie Hater? Roast 'Em
"I recently turned a broccoli basher into a fan. My husband used to despise cauliflower, but now he loves it. My kid now begs me to make okra. What's the secret? They all taste like completely different creatures when they're roasted. Cooking veggies in a 450-degree oven helps bring out the natural sugars, caramelizing the surfaces. Slimy okra gets crispy. Broccoli flowers develop a nice crunch. Cauliflower, which I toss in curry powder and olive oil, becomes golden and mellow." - Cheryl Jones from Bookmarklet
Definitely! There were several vegetables I wouldn't eat when I was younger and I'm sure it's because the only way people in my family prepared them was boiling them. Bleh! - Katy S
I prepared these broccoli, red pepper, and portobello melts for Thanksgiving day lunch, and they were pretty awesome. Everything was prepared in the broiler. Broiled the veggies first until they cooked down, then arranged them on thick slices of bread, topped with shredded mozzarella (the recipe called for gouda slices, but my bro and hubby aren't big on cheese), and broiled again until the cheese melted. I'll definitely make that again. :) - Cheryl Jones

"My son got a special package in the mail today… It’s a replica of the stuffed tiger Hobbes from the Calvin & Hobbes comic strip. This is meant to be the stuffed version of Hobbes, as opposed to the anthropomorphic tiger from Calvin’s point of view. Bill Watterson, the comic’s creator, has refused the use of Calvin and Hobbes in merchandising of any sort and thus there are no authorized reproductions in existence. I had this one custom made as a gift for my son. And maybe it’s just me, but I think he looks a little like Calvin when he carries it around." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet
Totally awesome! I want one... - Cheryl Jones

Christmas Tree: Fake vs Real?
two mini fake ones.........one was my moms and the other was my dads - VAL D. Zone
Real. - Cheryl Jones
we have a mini fake one. my folks have a full-size fake. for years we would go to a farm and cut one, but finally decided against it a few years back. - Joe Silence is not dead
I Prefer real (which I have this year) but the past few before that were fake. I'm all for the real tree! - Nathalie, Dreamer of FF
Living real tree. - Spidra Webster
i love the smell of a real tree and the experience of going out to a farm and finding and cutting the tree. but the tree sap is a real drag to get out of my clothes afterward. the main reason we do a mini fake one now is we have little kids. maybe when they're older we'll go back to live. - Joe Silence is not dead

@ravenme Keys are right up there with printers. Why are we still using little shaved pieces of metal to control access to our stuff?
Up until recently we had keyless-entry locks for our front door and garage access door. But we switched back to regular locks with keys since we're prepping the house to be sold. It totally sucks to need keys again! - Cheryl Jones

Dove Peppermint Bark - Candy Blog - http://www.typetive.com/candybl...
Dove Peppermint Bark - Candy Blog
"The melt is great. The dark chocolate (not totally dark, there is some milkfat in there, like most Dove) melts a bit quicker than the white chocolate. It’s a silky and fatty melt, slick and with some decent woodsy cocoa notes, but there’s also a cocoa experience ... a dryness like eating cocoa powder. No worries though the white chocolate layer is sweet, also fatty and of course minty. There’s a slight vanilla note to it and a bit of a dairy milk flavor with a hint of salt. The creaminess offsets the dry bite, as long as you eat the layers together. The whole effect is a mint meltaway with a really tasty chocolate punch to it. Far and away better than an Andes Mint. The candy bits provide a good crunch (though I don’t necessarily need them, but without them it’s not a very convincing bark product.) Price aside, these are awesome. They really fit the holiday season with the mint and chocolate combo. It’s also available in an actual bark shape, but I haven’t seen that in stores." - edythe from Bookmarklet
Is this the thing you posted for me? Either way these look dang good. As god is my witness I WILL FIND THESE. - Noah Belson
WOW... I've been sort of hating on most American chocolates recently (too sickly sweet, even the dark chocolate varieties), but I must find these and try them anyway... Mint and chocolate are two of my favorites. - Cheryl Jones

We were just lucky this time. - Cheryl Jones

How to Make Tasty White Castle Stuffing | A Hamburger Today
"Chefs Jill and Chris Barron in Chicago make stuffing out of sautéed vegetables and White Castle hamburgers for their Thanksgiving menu. It may sound trashy, but in this feature by Michael Nagrant at Chicago Sun-Times, they say they wouldn't make it if it weren't tasty. Nagrant told Grub Street Chicago that the stuffing is indeed tasty, calling it "one of the best stuffings I ever made, including those I've made with bacon." Check out the recipe if you want to include it in your Thanksgiving meal." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

.: chromewaves.net v7.5  » Blog Archive   » Devo cover Nine Inch Nails
"At first glance, it seems a strange pairing – absurdist ’80s New Wave/art-rock pioneers Devo taking on nihilist ’90s industrial rock pioneers Nine Inch Nails, but no stranger than the project for which it was intended – the soundtrack to the 1996 US release of Jackie Chan’s Supercop. Of course, nothing is ever really that ridiculous where Devo is involved, ridiculousness being key to their creative mandate. And I’ve always found Nine Inch Nails somewhat ridiculous as well, so Devo’s re-do of their angst anthem actually goes down better in these parts than the original." - Cheryl Jones from Bookmarklet

Yep, a little while later I found an item. I guess I have to be more stingy with where I leave my items. :) - Cheryl Jones

OK, I have a Nikon D80 with a 50mm f1.8. My pictures are OK but not as sharp as I would like. Is it worth me dropping coin on something like a 50mm f1.4 or is it just the D80...
Hmmm, just off the top of my head, unless the D80 is unsharp with other lenses, I think it might be the 50mm. But I've heard that the 1.8 is sharper wide open than the 1.4 (but don't quote me on that). Perhaps check DPReview forums on Nikon lenses to see other people's experiences re: 1.8 v. 1.4? - Cheryl Jones from iPhone
Right, will do :) - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
Did you check for front/back focus? Any other lenses you can test the body with? - ronin
It's both. I love my 50mm f1.4... it is just amazing!!! Basically either upgrade will improve things, it just depends where you want to spend the money and when. - Rachel Lea Fox
Ronin, I'll check it out. Rachael, I think I'll rent a 1.4 and try it - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
Spend your money on lenses. - Russellreno
Another great site that has great user reviews - with many pro photographers participating is http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews... - almost all available Canon and Nikon lenses + camera bodies are covered, rated, and long comment posts of what they are good for, pros and cons etc - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML from iPod
I agree with Russellreno...spend the good money on lenses. Update your camera when you NEED to. Sharpness typically comes from the lens (and the photog), however, that is not to say the camera has no affect. - Justin Korn
I think it's 20% lens and 80% me :P - Johnny Worthington from iPhone
certainly possible :) - Justin Korn
I don't think it's worth the upgrade. I've had the 50 1.8, 35 1.8, and now use the 50 1.4 (never at the same time). I've taken sharp and soft photos with all of them. Wide open you've got 2 things working against you: 1) the lenses aren't sharpest wide open, they all do better around f/2.8 and best around f/4 and 2) wide open the DOF is crazy small, especially for the 1.4, so you need... more... - Benjamin Golub

Wow... - Cheryl Jones
Cake balls are great, but it's very cruel to the cakes. :-> - Kurt Starnes
Kurt, I suppose this is where cultural relativism comes into play. Back in the old country, we ate giant cake balls with every meal. - Anna Haro
Anna - I grew up in a small town with small cakes. The only giant cake balls we had were in storybooks and daydreams. - Kurt Starnes

Akiva Moskovitz
Up was fantastic. Wall•E was better.
Nope - Alex Scoble
Oh, the opinion of a console juggalo. Worthless. - Akiva Moskovitz
I loved Up. Wall-E? Not so much. - Derrick
Wow. You people are clearly on some kind of Mexican drugs. - Akiva Moskovitz
I didn't love either one. (grumpy face) - Louis Gray
Good grief, Louis. What does it take for you to be entertained? - Akiva Moskovitz
Wall-E lost me when the plot actually kicked in. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Louis, did you love Monsters, Inc.? - joey
A man who doesn't even play video games calling my opinion worthless? Rating Wall-E better than Up is crazysauce! - Alex Scoble
What Jon said. I loved Wall-E and Eve as characters, but the story wasn't my style. I love Up. - Derrick
Alex, you speak and act like a child. I cannot tolerate you. Go away. - Akiva Moskovitz
Well, they both made me cry but that's just because I'm a GIRL. - Rochelle
Rochelle, me too. Up made me cry the most, though. In the theatre. Behind my 3D glasses. - joey
Good grief, Akiva. :) I used the word "love". I thought Incredibles was better. Monsters, Inc. was good. I didn't love Up as I thought it was too dark and slow. Wall*E was good but only worth seeing once. - Louis Gray
Up was the closest I've gotten to crying since Where the Red Fern Grows. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
I still haven't seen Incredibles, sadly. I need to do that! And I finally saw Cars the other week. - joey
Oh, good gravy, Gray. Incredibles was like Joe Versus the Volcano. The first act was great; the rest was rubbish. I am scoffing! LOOK AT ME SCOFF. - Akiva Moskovitz
SCOFF THIS. I AM DELETING MY ACCOUNT. (Can we replay that? I missed it yesterday) - Louis Gray
Oh yeah, Cars was lame too. Bring it on. - Louis Gray
LOUIS, I HUG THEE. - Akiva Moskovitz
I've watched Wall•E at least half a dozen times. Parts of it are dumb, yes, but most of it is wonderful. - Glen Mistletoe
Akiva, judging from the way you write you are less mature than a poopy diaper and thusly unable to properly opine on anything. - Alex Scoble
Cars was awesomesauce, Louis...You take that comment back! - Alex Scoble
Alex, you ignorant slut—never mind; I've just been wanting to say that for a while. - Glen Mistletoe
HAY EVERYONE. ALEX IS A VERGEN. - Akiva Moskovitz
POINT AND LAUGH APPROPRIATELY. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS HAIR? TOTAL VERGEN. - Akiva Moskovitz
I didn't really like Cars all that much and I'm not sure why my nephew is so obsessed with it. He should be obsessed with Monsters, Inc. - joey
Akiva hasn't even seen Cars. - Rochelle

Akiva knows Pixar so well, he thinks Shrek was the best movie they ever released. SHREK! - Louis Gray
I WANT TO DRIVE DERRICK ALL NIGHT LONG. [cupcake face] - Akiva Moskovitz
I haven't seen Cars, either. The trailer must not have been motivational. - Glen Mistletoe
A gnat's opinion weighs more than Akiva's when it comes to Pixar movies! - Alex Scoble
I've never seen Kung Fu Panda. - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Alex is morbidly obese. - Akiva Moskovitz

And let me just say this: Cars:Pixar::Killer's Kiss:Kubrick. - Akiva Moskovitz

Stop it now, Akiva. We both know that "morbidly obese" is one of Alex's brother's vanity searches. Do you want him here in this thread? - Louis Gray

LOL I love how Akiva's is resorting to making stuff up about me now. And Akiva, your opinion means less than that of a person who owns Bose now. Dissing Cars is just wrong...it had Michael Schumacher in it...SCHUMACHER! - Alex Scoble

Nice, Ken. Imma let you finish, but the "Last word always" thread was the greatest of all time! - Louis Gray
Louis, some Asians on a beach would beg, Beg, BEG to differ. - Akiva Moskovitz
Hm. You should post that one some time. :) - Louis Gray
As would Neil Patrick Harris. Beg to differ, that is. - Ken Sheppardson
You know, I should! - Akiva Moskovitz
Wait...post what? - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
Oooooh....*light bulb* - Jon, the Chilled Beartato
whoa, I ain't even seen Up yet and I'm kinda doubting that. - Richard Lawler
I agree with the original sentiment. I mean, I loved Up, and it was really touching, but dang if I don't have a soft spot for cute little robots... :) - Cheryl Jones
I loved the robots in Wall-E, it was the people I had a problem with. - Derrick

I'm late to the party but I'm completely agreeing with Akiva's original post. - G. Sigh from iPhone
Akiva is still wrong - Alex Scoble
They were both excellent in thier own way. - Roberto Bonini
I have not seen Wall-E. Do not mock me. - ha3rvey (sup homepants)
You owe it to yourself to watch it. - Roberto Bonini
Can I just say that I'm shocked, SHOCKED I SAY, that no one was blocked over this kerfluffle. - Alex Scoble
Which one?? That harvey didin't see Wall-e?? Or that Akiva likes Wall-e better?? - Roberto Bonini
I'm shocked that this sort of mob-mentality, non-tech-related drivel is ALLOWED! YOU ARE KILLING THE GOLDEN GOOSE WITHYOURSOFTHUMANBRAINS! - WorldofHiglet
I'm sorry dave, I can't do that.... - Roberto Bonini
The first 30 minutes of Wall-E were brilliant... apparently, the director had his team watch Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton to get it right. And the sound effects are insanely good. - T. Brent, technopeasant
"Up" was better... :o) never cried to an animated movie before, - i did to this.. - Jeannette Høvring
I liked Wall-E a *lot* on first viewing it the theater. Now that we have it on DVD and have watched it a dozen or so times with out toddler, I find the first dialogue-less segment fantastic, and the rest of the movie lackluster and cliche. Oh, but it still blows the socks off "Cars" - Steve "Daddy do it!" Lacy
I was going to leave a standard comment about Wall-E being slightly better than Up, though they're both pretty awesome, but instead I opened up the full thread and I'm backing away... slowly... *retreats into sketchbook* - Kamilah Gill
Hell no. Up was much better then Wall-E. - Jason Huebel
YOU ARE WRONG - Akiva Moskovitz

Did Panda Express drop their Panda Bowl, or is the employee who waited on the hubby just an idiot?
My daughter had one last week. Could they have renamed it? - ha3rvey (sup homepants)
I don't know. I asked the hubby to pick me up a Panda Bowl with Beijing Beef. He isn't familiar with the menu there, so he went inside to look at the menu. He said he didn't see a Panda Bowl option, so he ordered the single entree. But the girl who waited on him just served up the Beijing Beef w/no rice (WTH?). So he was like, "where's the rice?" Employee: "It doesn't come with rice."... more... - Cheryl Jones
I suspect she was an idiot. My wife and daughter get those all of the time. - ha3rvey (sup homepants)

Sesame Seaweed Rice Balls aka Crack-in-a-Bag - http://www.traderjoes.com/whats_n...!
Sesame Seaweed Rice Balls aka Crack-in-a-Bag
"This is our version of a popular Japanese snack. Trader Joe’s Sesame Seaweed Rice Balls are crunchy puffed rice, shaped like balls (hence the name) that are given a savory zing using a popular Japanese seasoning known as furikake (fu-rih-kah-kay). Furikake is made from sesame seeds, chopped dried seaweed, a little bit of salt and a touch of sugar. If your mouth waters for umami tastes, then you’ll enjoy our Rice Balls. These crispy, salty, savory balls of deliciousness are $1.49 for a 5 oz. bag." - Admiral Anika from Bookmarklet
Those sound good, I want to try some now. - Trish R
YEs. It's so sad that Trader Joe's isn't in Texas. :( - Trish Haley
But you have a ginormous Whloe Foods. - Jeremy (cropmarks)
i still haven't been to it, though. have you trish r? - Trish Haley
I've been to the one on Kirby. It's great, but too far to drive for regular shopping. I've never been to a Trader Joe's, so I can't make a comparison. - Trish R
Is that the huge one? I always want to go when I see it, but I am just never down that way unless on a road trip. - Trish Haley
It's a jaunt from your part of town. - Jeremy (cropmarks)
Yeah, it's pretty big. Jeremy, it's 45 minutes from me, so not worth it for a weekly grocery trip. - Trish R
all of them are pretty far away for regular grocery shopping. it would be nice to check it out and get some yummy snacks sometime. - Trish Haley
There's no comparison, IMO between TJs and WF. Whole Foods is a rip off, whereas TJs is pretty economical. Even though they're non-union, we tend to shop there for certain items. I'd never go to Whole Foods, but Adrian used to when we lived in between two of them. Thankfully, the one closest to us is pretty far. - Admiral Anika
Yeah, I agree, Whole Foods is not for the bargain shopper. - Trish R
I'll have to look for those. But TJ's has a habit of getting me hooked on some product and then then never selling it again - Fred Yankowski
LOL Fred, they do have a habit of doing that, huh? And all the letter writing and phone calls never bring it back. :( - Admiral Anika
these are so good! i was just eating some! - Jessie
Must make a trip out to Trader Joe's. Wish it weren't so annoying to get to the one nearest us. - Cheryl Jones
