I fell in lust with Pacifica’s Brazilian Mango Grapefruit solid perfume when I purchased it at Elephant Pharmacy.
In the past, I’ve sprayed myself with liquid perfume—but I wanted a portable perfume that would not be snatched by airport security.
The smell is intoxicating, addictive, and sexy. Yep…a perfect scent for the first date, second date and for any occasion.
I’m now in quest for winterish scents and will pick my 10 favorite solid perfumes and share & tell with you all…any ideas?
I rarely chow food served on the airplane…the mere smell of various entrées makes my stomach queasy…but the meal served aboard Thai Airways International (Bangkok → Kathmandu) was unreal.
The smell of the entrée hardly bothered me. Naan, lamb curry with green peas…fruit salad for dessert. Plus the service was impeccable.

We (riding public) waited patiently for negotiations to come to a fruitful ending…
We don’t want BART employees to walk off their jobs.
How will we, the loyal commuters get to work? To see our kids? Our friends? Our lovers?
We don’t want BART employees to strike.
Please give them the raise that they deserve.
They work extremely hard.

NO STRIKE.
We (riding public) love BART.
Glad the negotiations resulted in positive outcome.
We can ALL get along.
Lunch: uber-healthy if you don’t drench the Mentaiko (baby fish) sauce. Love the soba noodles. This lunch combines my four favorite foods.
Mackerel-goes well with brown, white, jasmine rice or soba noodles
Spinach-steamed, sautéed, broiled–I love spinach
Buckwheat Soba Noodles-buckwheat sounds healthy doesn’t it?
Mentaiko Sauce-I call it Japanese mayonnaise–it goes with everything.
At least once a month, I take the BART and MUNI to San Francisco, Japan Town and shop for Mackerel (San ma) sold in a can at Ichiban Kan (Japan’s version of a dollar store). Then it’s a walk down to Nijiya Market (popular Japanese grocery store) for Mentaiko Sauce and Buckwheat Soba Noodles. It’s an adventure…a long travel from Berkeley, but so worth it!
