Berkeley.

TammyM, any old excuse will do
:-) If you do come out, let me know when if you want, and maybe we'll
meet at the Cheese Board for some foodie shopping.

That would be fun, Serene! Maybe we'll give Lin a call and make it a
girls' day out. You'll love The Spanish Table. I get my olive oil
there, sherry vinegar, lemon-stuffed olives, smoked paprika (although the
last time I went, I bought a LIFETIME supply of the stuff...)

I can't wait. I really want to make some Spanish chorizo for my partner
the way we did it in Spain -- douse it in high-proof alcohol, flame it
until the outside is charred and the inside is warmed, and serve it on
good bread. Yumma.

Near there, along with the "Country Store" for cheese is Milan
International, on the south side of University Ave. near 9th, or so in
Berkeley. It's an Indian market, and the best place to buy any bulk dry
spices at rock bottom prices. What costs $3 at the Safeway costs 50 cents
there. It's a great place for the T-wad, and obviously a great place for
Indian spices in addition to all the others.
