Last week I went on a "road trip" to the Jon Donaire Pastry Factory
(9420 Sorensen Avenue, Santa Fe Springs,CA, 90670, 562-941-1856.
Sorensen Avenue crosses Slauson and is east of the 605 Freeway.
Mapblast is your friend. I knew they have an outlet at the factory
and I had been wanting to see how much the difference in price would
be, from a regular retail outlet. The price difference was
significant. I purchased two cheesescakes, mixed berry and chocolate,
each had 16 slices and the prices for each was $8.00. I was at a
local Smart & Final store (Monrovia, CA) last night and checked their
prices. A 12 slice cheesecake was $15.99. Next month, I'll be going
back to purchase several more for the break-the-fast meals on Rosh
Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

I just returned from another "road trip" to the Gioia Cheese Co, 1605
Potrero Ave., SouthEl Monte, CA, 626-444-6015. (gioiacheeseinc.com)
The location is easy to find, Santa Anita (north) exit from the
westbound 60 Fwy. Mapblast is your friend. I had read a review about
their product line in the L A Weekly last week written I believe by
Jonathan Gold, (he won a Pulitzer Prize for his food reviews).

I purchased a 3 lb tub of the FRESH 4 oz ovaline mozzarella
($(12.00). As soon as I got home I opened the tub and took out a
ball and sliced it into 1/4 inch slices, put it on a plate, sliced up
a ripe tomato, poured over a small amount of olive oil and a little
bit of kosher salt, let it sit for maybe 5 minutes (I couldn't wait).
It was a wonderful (almost caprese salad, no basil) salad. I plan on
making another road trip soon.

Those both sound wonderful Harriet, too bad that dairy in Azusa is gone,
they always made decent cheese.

We just came home from a road trip, but the only thing I bought in a
supermarket was whoopie pies. I should have looked for horseradish,
because we can't find good horseradish here in Louisiana.

We went to Ohio for a picnic with friends, then to Pennsylvania to visit
friends and family. In PA, I had cheesesteaks and Italian sandwiches,
more than once. Gasoline was between $2.35 and $2.69, people do not
know how to merge into traffic, and the rain in Tennessee was harsh.
Tennessee is still my favorite state, if it didn't get so cold, I would
move there. I am anti-snow.

I was walking and talking in my sleep last night, I thought I was in
someone else's house. I was amazed that they had a floor rug just like
mine. I have to laugh at myself. It's good to me home!

were you looking for the horseradish root or the stuff in a jar. if
it's the stuff in a jar look for the Atomic Horseradish label; this
will clear out everything!

gasoline, here in socal, hasn't been that low in at least a year. i
just paid $3.25/gallon (premium), as i drive an old caddy.

Hah, maybe the horseradish would cure me. Walking in my sleep doesn't
happen every night, I seem to do it when I am tired. My new husband is
learning to ignore me, in a short amount of time I will wake myself up,
then I go right back to bed.
