And I will keep eating them no matter how far out of proportion this salmonella scare gets blown.
Mmmmm. Juicy, sweet tomatoes. Mmmmm. How I love their inner slime. Mmmmm. And their smooth red skin.
Mmmmm. And the way they taste in salsa, spaghetti sauce and salads.

Read this excerpt:
First, credit where credit’s due—kudos to Reader blogger Don Bauder for pointing me (and you) to this high-larious Burl Stiff column. If you’re not familiar with Stiff, he’s the Union-Tribune’s bespectacled society columnist and, reportedly, a favorite friend of David Copley (owner of the U-T). Stiff’s the one who wrote about Copley’s European culinary extravaganza, the cost of which could have kept a family of four groceried up for a year.
Anyhow, Stiff writes about Copley hanging out in Cannes, entertaining various rich La Jollans and minor celebs like Dominick Dunne and Christian Slater. Oh, yes, Hard Harry’s looking definitely worse for wear—as pictured in a photo accompanying Stiff’s column—and it’s breaking my heart.
So, while our local daily’s cutting staff and pages, its owner—looking a bit like Cruella de Ville (what’s up with that hair?)—is yachting around, stuffing his face and probably giving little thought to the family biz.

Little Italy has character. Just check out these two characters I found while walking down India Street the other day. Can anyone guess who they are? They’re both pretty well-known, at least in the Italian ‘hood.

Kelly Davis Blogged something interesting today on lastblogonearth.com
The first paragraph….
Mayoral candidate Steve Francis has plans to “sprint” around San Diego’s eight council districts from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. today (Monday). Sounds exciting. Let’s assess the stops:
8 a.m. John’s Waffle Shop, 7906 Girard Ave. La Jolla (District 1).
The website sd.dailyjolt.com calls this spot “La Jolla’s most famous breakfast nook.” But are waffles the best choice for a long day of campaigning? I dunno. Kinda heavy. Now, if he ordered a side of eggs and bacon, that would be a good protein/carbs combo.
10 a.m. Mission Bay Park Visitor’s Center, 2688 East Mission Bay Drive (District 6)
According to Yahoo travel, “this place used to have the most helpful people at their front desk‚ now you’re lucky to get a smile.”
11 a.m. Albertson’s, 10633 Tierrasanta Blvd. (District 7)
Courting the housewives.
12:30 p.m. Food Court, Sorrento Towers Plaza (District 5)
Courting their husbands
3:30 p.m. Magnolia’s Restaurant, 342 Euclid Ave., Encanto (District 4)
Excellent choice. Try the […]

Anders Wright Made a great post today on lastblogonearth.com
The first paragraph….
So, by now we all know that despite my fairly unimpressed review, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull made a goofy amount of money over the long weekend.
That’s cool. Really. We all knew it would. It’s not a very good movie, but it’s cool to see Harrison Ford back in action. And unlike the original, you might not want to return for seconds. Still, if you’re still jonesing for Dr. Jones, I recommend that you mark your calendar for July 10, when the Museum of Contemporary Art will show the first of this year’s Parking Lot Pictures. It is, of course, Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation.
The what? Okay, check this out. Starting in 1982, three dudes from Mississippi, who were just twelve when they saw the original Raiders, put together a shot-by-shot recreation of the original film. It took them seven years to finish up. […]

The first paragraph….
I realize this post will be meaningful only to those of you who know the joy of Dan Coffey, but I can’t help myself. I hope this was not funny only to me.
Coffey is an anti-Mike Aguirre gadfly who claims to be a lawyer of some kind and who also, despite being a Democrat, has kind of a bizarre fetish for Republican mayors—he had a particularly intense crush on former Mayor Dick Murphy.
Coffey likes to spend his time showing up at events that involve Aguirre. Today’s occasion was Aguirre’s press conference challenging the accuracy and completeness of a report issued by the state Attorney General’s office that included an explosive claim that Aguirre and his top deputies had told Mayor Jerry Sanders and members of his staff that Aguirre would go easy on the mayor on the Sunroad case in exchange for favorable budget treatment for the City Attorney’s office.

…as reader Brenda pointed out (see post below). Indeed, she’s correct. Between, like, 10 a.m. and 2:59 p.m., someone pulled the music. Curses! Just like campaign staff to ruin our fun! Oh well. Just imagine “dark scary space movie with minimalist-noise soundtrack.”
