I had lots and lots of fun on Saturday. I got up early and took the dogs for a walk. I would have walked them quite a bit farther than I did but Ashley Jr. was completely uncooperative. He’s a lazy, entitled little dog who doesn’t enjoy being told what to do. I headed home and Mr. Poe and I went to Trader Joe, then Costco, then Safeway and we were home by 11AM. I had lunch and started cooking. My attempt was to make some lime curd out of some limes we’ve had and I wanted to make some vegetarian onion soup out of the leftover beer that we had. Mixed results. Late in the afternoon I headed downtown. I stopped by my office and then headed to the ferry building for a donut from Pepples. Yes, Pepples the legendary donut that I’d failed to acquire on my previous three attempts. In Pepples’ defense, I was reading the hours for their oakland store and not the ferry location. I got a chocolate donut with coconut. Witness the goods:
How do these donuts compare to the Whole Foods ones that I’ve been happily stuffing down my throat the last couple of months? Mixed. The pepples offering are a bit more complex than Whole Foods but it was a little dry in comparison. Also they cost twice what the Whole Foods one. Add in the vast availability difference I’m thinking that Whole Foods one are the definite winners…..
I headed home and surveyed the food that I’d made earlier in the day. The curd I made didn’t set and the soup was incredibly bitter and pretty much inedible. Developing. I watched some TV and went to bed.
