More old things that are new again

• San Francisco sandwich guide. I couldn't find it online, but the hard copy version has a note on page 14 about Arguello market, our fabulous little neighborhood grocer. World-famous turkey sandwiches are made there. They really are delicious. This one makes the list because it really just lists out the best sandwiches in SF, many of which we already knew about.
  
• Anthony's cookies. A dear friend brought me far too many of them today and I was reminded of how good these cookies are. They kind of melt in your mouth and then you taste some other spice or flavor afterward that is also really delicious.
  
• Just when we all finally stopped making jokes about Ricky Martin being gay, he actually comes out! I read about here first and was a little touched to hear what he said. It seems like something we all knew, but I think that it's probably a bigger deal than we realize since he couldn't come out and tell the public who he really is. I'm happy for him.

Hello Wheels, Gail Reid's book and other (new and old) discoveries

New exciting things:

• John Shaw's band in Austin, Hello Wheels
• Gail Reid (my friend Rose's mom) came out with the book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Low-Cost Startups this past month. You can find her blog here.

Old things that I've rekindled my affections for:

• Google Reader. Some of my more intellectual friends were singing its praises this past week and it reminded me of the days B and I would share articles and links with each other in the most efficient way possible. It's pretty awesome. If you also use it, let me know so I can follow you if you share interesting bits, or avoid you if you don't.
• Comforts' Chinese Chicken Salad
• The polenta recipe in B's New Basics cookbook. I made this recipe this week and the leftovers never seemed to get old. Polenta is delicious.
• Four Tet. I was never a huge fan, but this song makes me like him again.
  

hurts so good

I've been waiting for She and Him to put out more... por fin!
