To start off I must say that now that I am over 60 yrs.old I am ordering steak and roast beef cooked to Medium rare. When I was younger I used to order and cook my steak Medium well. Has that situation happened to any others??? and I would also agree that your pickiness should increase as the steak price increases.

Milk prices here in Southern Calif TJ stores have skyrocketted. from 1/2/2010 up 20% on quart sized containers, now this month 10 cents higher, thus used to be 99 cents, now its $1.29 each, which is a 29% increase. Whats goin on TJ?????????

these crackers only have gorgonzola like cheddar flavor - no gorgonzolla in those boxes.
they are tasty but almost cheese less.

a very good Spanish restaurant on West 23rd St. Between 7th and 8th Avenues souon the south side of the street called El Quehote ( I know I mispelled the name) Very good food there - every time I visit N.Y C. I always have a meal or two there. and its only a block from where my sister lives. She also visits there on a regular basis. I believe it is nearer to 8th ave than 7th. It is very conversation friendly and they make very decent drinks too.

If that place is too pricey for your budget - try the diner on the corner of 23rd and Ninth ave, on the south west corner - they also make drinks there too.

Have you tried bribeing some of the Pink's staff??

In San Pedro I believe was a greek restaurant called Papadakis Taverna but double check that listing as it has been years since I have been there.

After that kind of service, I would think twice about returning to that place again.

Where are these Fresh & Easy stores?? never heard of them before

P.S. wash down your craw when Ralph's has gallon milk on sale for $2 bucks a gallon rofl

You wanna know why fresh squeezed OJ costs so much here in LA??? I'll tell you why, its cause they import the freakin oranges from Florida, thats why. I can never understand why the growers export most of the oranges elsewhere when they are grown right here, it just boggles the mind.

A suggestion not a recommendation, but on Pastrami try The Hat, there are a few around town. One in Pasadena and the other in Rosemead. I think there are others around too.

hi and thank you for your comments on pizza dough. Could you explain your comment about fans of greek style dough - what type of dough would that be?? I am a 60 yr old Greek American man with some experience in the kitchen and never heard that expession before and would like to learn what it means. Thanks in advance. Manolid1
