I dunno who needs to know this, but if you'rr in my neck of the woods, the San Leandro Costco has toilet paper, about six pallets half-depleted, and their hours are back to closing at 8:30. A refreshing change of pace for people who actually legit are running out of TP and need it now. edit: When I say half-depleted, I mean like this:

I was just at the caltrain safeway in soma they're pretty well stocked on TP and other paper stuff. First time in a long time I saw it more than half full of stock.

More a point of curiosity than anything but, are there any particular knife sharpening services that are known to be good/to be avoided in the bay?

There was a knife sharpener who would set up shop in Noe Valley on 24th St Saturday mornings. Don't know if he's still going but I went to him for years

I am definitely not industry, I just wanna get my knives sharpened by a professional who knows what they're doing once, so I have a point of reference to work from when I try to do my own. Also drat, I live in San Mateo so that's pretty far away.

I had knives sharpened at Bernal and it was very expensive and I’m not sure it was worth it at all! Are your knives really expensive or something? If not, you’d probably be better off learning how and then getting new knives once you know. Don’t eat whale or dolphins.

https://mobilesharpening.org/drop-off-locations I think these are the guys I handed my knives off to last time, my dropoff location was the Alameda one, (I haven't lived in Alameda in almost a decade now, but Encinal Market is where they would pick up my knives) and hey, what do you know, they have a San Mateo drop location. If you want to give me a few days, I can swing back through there and ask if they were the old guys or if the owner changed or anything in the interval.

I'm in the mood for some kind of heavy, dense, coma-inducing chocolate mousse pie, no thanks to this reblogged image off an internet acquaintance's Tumblr. I'll be going down 880 from Oakland to San Jose on an errand Wednesday, if anyone want to pimp their favorite bakery or whatever.

Crab getting delayed again, they're saying maybe the 24th the boats can go out, but maybe not until the new year. I usually look forward to crab got new years so hoping they can go out soon.

I hope we don’t wind up in a situation where there’s no crab season, since that’s what keeps them from growing overlarge and running wild in the region’s streets…

What? I thought there was just a big to-do and a BOS vote and FEMA funding so they weren’t kicking anyone out? Where are you getting that from? E: sorry, this is the food thread. We are sad about no crab but we are still going to do spicy seafood boil for holiday meal, what are y’all making?

Wise fwom yo gwave, thread Anyone got a list of good bakeries in the bay? I never paid much attention to breads but my partner was seized by a sudden hankering for croissants. The only bakery I recognize in CA is Bouchon but that's 1) in Yountville and 2) owned by an rear end, so I'd rather not if I can help it.

Within San Francisco: The supposed best croissants are at Arsicault Bakery. They are pretty good, there's always a long line, and they basically just do croissants and little else. Croissants are notoriously hard to get right. For other baked goods, Arizmendi's is very good. I reckon the best location is the Sunset one, but they're all good. Their pizza (which changes flavors daily) is always excellent; normally they do slices but during Covid they only do full/half pies or light-baked ones that you finish baking at home. Acme is good for loaves. They have a shop in Embarcadero, and you can also find them in many of the more high-end grocery stores including Whole Foods. b. patisserie on California & Divisadero do excellent baked desserts & pastries. Tartine is always super popular but I don't really understand why.
