Weekly seasonal produce report?

Summer Tomato is a healthy eating blog by a local writer. She usually has a weekend update on Saturday's market. The last few weeks have been a little different (she sometimes hosts other bloggers), but scroll down to the January 31st entry and you'll see a typical post for the Ferry Plaza.

Aiea, HI: food delivery services

Hi-

My friend's mother just passed away and I would like to send her family some food in the weeks ahead. Any recs on food delivery services that I can buy a gift certificate from? I am thinking of a service that picks up food from all different restaurants and delivers meals to the home. Waiters on Wheels is a popular service in CA: http://www.waitersonwheels.com/

Or are there restaurants in this area that you would reccommend that have good food and free delivery?

Thanks!

Any idea's where to find shaved ice with condensed milk and fruit toppings?

Monster Desserts in Tanforan Mall has shaved ice w/ condensed milk and a choice of toppings.

The halo halo at Mitchell's or even Goldilock's is a good alternative.

Eggplant on the wafflebaker! Try it.

Great idea! I have used my waffle maker to make "waffle latkes". Just add a little more oil to a standard latke recipe and cook it in the waffle maker. The latkes come out crispy and less oily. This has become a big hit with my family.

ATL area (Alpharetta): Meal Delivery Service

I would like to buy a very pregnant/soon to be new mom a gift certificate for a meal delivery service. I am looking for a local service that prepares meals for the week and delivers them to your home, not a restaurant delivery service. Here's an example of one here in San Francisco: http://www.wallysfoodco.com/

Is there anything like that that can deliver to Alpharetta?

Thanks!

Vosges Chocolate bars

They have them at Bittersweet Cafe on Fillmore, so they probably have them at the EB location.

St. Louis wedding present

I'm looking to buy a pricey gift certificate at a "special occasions" type place. One of the eaters is vegetarian, so it has to have some non-meat options on the menu. After some research, it seems like Terrene, An American Place and Niche. Any thoughts on these three or can you suggest another place?

The couple is young, hip and appreciate fresh ingredients exectued at the highest level.

Thanks in advance!

Strawberry season starts - stand & shortcake sightings?

My sister picked up a strawberry sundae at Bi-Rite Creamery today. I had only a few bites-- and it was good! Creme fraiche ice cream topped with fresh strawberries, crumbled sugar cookies and creme fraiche. It was called spring sundae or something like that-- it was on their special's board. Highly recommended!

Alpharetta, GA recs?

Hi-

I did a search for Alpharetta eats and the last extensive response was about 3 years old. Any updated recs on where to eat in Alpharetta? I'll be here for 2+ weeks and like all varieties of food-- any price range, any cuisine-- it just has to be good!

Thanks!
