Soup Freaks (Pine near Battery) has a special clam chowder today that I would say is second in SF only to Swan Oyster Depot’s. Big chunks of real clams, not gloppy (menu proclaims “no flour”), nice thyme-based... (1 reply, last updated by debby March 19, 2005)

The only time I arrange fruit is during the end of the year holidays, when clementines are plentiful and I can keep them cool in my cold pantry or even on the porch. I place my candlesticks in soup plates, and mound clementines... (48 replies, last updated by Cachetes November 19, 2009)
