The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Why?
- Syrian sweets at the ultra-cool International Food Bazaar in San Jose (2052 Curtner Avenue, San Jose, CA 95124)
- buying matzoh ball mix at Cosentino's (and that's all this year...one item, no line, in and out in 5 minutes...)
- perusing the beautiful fish, live blue crabs and mussels at 99 Ranch but buying 3 pounds of chicken carcass and one pack of chicken feet for our annual chicken soup (with aforementioned matzoh balls)
- a huge-ass bag of Korean extra-large chestnuts also at 99 Ranch for $2 (the not-so-good part...peeling them...ouch...wait, wait...the BEST part: eating them...)
- finding Karen's French Bakery Rye bread AND La Brea's Chocolate Sour Cherry bread (plus a crottin of La Tur, nicely runny)...all in the same place....
