The Goods @ Mediterranean Bakery

Green walnut preserves, date molasses, carob molasses and two ma’moul cookie presses…

This is just a small glimples into the three rows of dry and canned goods offered at Mediterranean Bakery. They also have three refrigerated cases with cheeses, double cream, yogurt, yogurt drinks and an assortment of […]

Kranky

Kranky

Chocolate covered corn flakes, these were not bad… in that convenience store candy sorta way.

Obleas

Rice paper wafers filled with a thin layer of cajeta (goat milk caramel)… but, the cajeta had an unpleasant gritty texture. They’re edible, but, […]

Purple Chip Mix

Mixed Root Chips

We really enjoyed these. Sliced paper thin, they were crunchy… yet delicate. And, the sweet potato chips had that sweet and salty thing going on… why aren’t sweet potato chips more popular?

Yucatekas

Mild spice & vinegar flavored […]

Alon’s House-Ground Burgers

Homemade BBQ-grilled Burger on Mini Ciabatta

Another visit to Alon’s… and we made another great find.

We were browsing with some interest at a rather nondescript vacuum-sealed package of ground beef.

Three-Cut Ground Beef of Hanger, Chuck, & Brisket

And, one of the […]

Mast Brothers Chocolate @ Star Provisions

Mast Brothers Dark Chocolate with Cocoa Nibs

There were some serious imperfections with our bar.

Either it was tempered improperly or it experienced some form of mishandling in distribution. This bar was badly discolored with crystallization and tasted more than a little bit stale. It […]

Mulberry Preserves

White Mulberry Preserves

We found Gobal Food & Nuts a few weeks ago. And, we were happy to find a source for green almonds, high quality nuts, and preserves. Finally, we’ve had a chance to open a jar of their white mulberry preserves. And, it is unbelievably good… ok, it’s […]

Hoa Binh Market

Nón lá (Leaf Hat)

These hats are genius. We bought one. Within minutes, we were fighting over it. It’s light, practical and highly effective. For $3.99, it’s a bargain. And, we’ll be back for another one… soon.

Cassava Chips

While the actual chips are much […]

Super Mercado #5

Figs Stuffed with Caramel

Don’t feel guilty. There’s a fig wrapped around your caramel. I love these individually wrapped candies. One makes a perfect little treat.

Walnut!

Creamy walnut pops… genius! Love them!

Juice of the Cashew Fruit

I’ve found […]

Patel Brothers

Kantola

Patel Brother’s new space a few doors down from it’s old location is larger, easier to navigate, and stocked with tons of fresh, new stuff. The produce was incredibly fresh. The ginger was some of the freshest I’ve seen in a grocery store. And, the kantola gourds (pictured above) […]

Patak Meats

Mortadella & Black Forest Ham

Yet another visit to Patak Meats… No matter how many times we visit, we never tire of their Black Forest ham. It’s simply divine. Tender, sweet and smoky… it’s just about perfect. When the weather starts to warm up, we enjoy sandwiches for dinner. Only […]
