I love TJ’s tortillas, packaged pre-washed mixed dark greens (when they have them), rennet-free cheeses, soy-flaxseed chips, chocolate bars (small for eating and large for baking), milk, dried soups, frozen spinach or...

Venice is generally safer than 2nd St./Broadway in Santa Monica? Haven’t heard of any recent wildings around the Promenade. Sounds like Joes is not the answer to your pizza dreams...

I could tell the difference just by the texture when I cut it.... Canned Alaska salmon is a super bargain. $2 or so for large 15 ounce can. Great for croquettes and casseroles etc etc. Or out of the can with some soy sauce, onion,...
