Shake it baby, shake

Talkin' bout the Richter Scale.

Nope, I didn't feel it. 

Possibly because, at the time, I had slipped off to Smart & Final where I spied good deals on Halloween candy - I got a big bag of gummy body parts for less than $5

- and found myself rocked by something even more exciting!

There's a neat little Japanese grocery store right next to it and I wandered in to find all sorts of yummy things for completely reasonable prices.  Unexpected of Japanese anything.  Also excitingly, all their produce and meats were marked organic and local - organic spinach, chicken from Petaluma...and did I mention their prices were completely reasonable?  Unexpected of organic anything.

So I picked up a half pound of thinly sliced pork, packets of frozen udon, a block of tofu, spinach, acorn squash, pea shoots, enoki and shiitake mushrooms, red miso paste, a packet of spicy tuna sushi, a packet of seaweed salad and a six pack of Asahi Super Dry - all for less than $20 - and we had impromptu shabu shabu!  (I've discovered recently that Asahi Super Dry is so far the only beer I can tolerate and managed to enjoy an entire can.  Asahi Super Dry - the beer for people who don't like beer!) 

California does know how to party.

I served gummy body parts, too!!! Dave was strongly opposed, but I insisted.
