the best selection of rare teas aside from the original store at Walnut and Vine in Berkeley. -Many of the Lebanese owned cafes in the city like Cafe ? in Glen Park. Nothing fancy, just a little metal pot with Earl Gray and messy...

I have the really large George Foreman Grill. I never use it. It makes cooks my meat flabby and gray. Cooks Illustrated magazine says it’s good for grilled cheese sandwiches, okay. I have finally found something I can use it...

and hard. Except for a stop into the Rose Gourmet shop for some snacks, the only other place I tried downtown was the food court in the Old State House Square building. I just wanted a light lunch, and the woman at the Welcome...

Ye Gods they are... but maybe it’s different, because we didn’t think it was awful. Oh, and they served us a nice complementary glass of rose as a starter with the cucumber amuse... I believe it was a Sancerre.

an easy walk from Oliveto after a big meal. The Rose Garden Inn on Telegraph is a little funky B&B and is an easy drive to Rockridge – probably the closest hotel.
