This Month’s Film: Travellers and Magicians
Cuisine: Bhutanese

My Asian shopping excursion did not go exactly as planned. After a lengthy meeting with clients in Union City, and a late and luxurious lunch at Spenger’s Fresh Fish Grotto in Berkeley, it hardly seemed wise to double back to Oakland in rush hour traffic to shop at Tin’s Market, so I opted for the Asian Market in Vallejo instead. Unfortunately, I was not able to fulfill my whole wish list, but I did manage to get all the basics. It’s mostly the Japanese items that went missing, which means a trip to Japantown. Yippee!
