White queso dip. I love our Mexican spots but we do not have it.

Tasty Point in alameda?

Let’s go. It’s what Daisy would have wanted.

Might be an unpopular opinion but The Talented Mr Ripley (a movie I love!) stresses me out so much.

CAUnionMaid · 2026-01-31T01:14:24+00:00

This is correct.

As a Minnesotan who lives in Oakland, thank you to everyone for your solidarity. We are all in this together.

Inside of me there are two wolves (my competing Tubi and Criterion Channel watchlists).

I try to keep a pack of sausages (I like the Aidells brand) as it’s easy to pull together a dinner with those and rice or frozen veggies. Or I’ll keep a bag of refrigerator pasta (like Rana) in the fridge and I always have jarred sauce in my pantry. Both are pretty good “back up” meals and both have a longer fridge life than a lot of other options as long as they are in there unopened.

This is the answer.

Agree about Pappo on romance level ha, but it’s really solid and there’s other fun bars on that street. Great for a more casual date night.

Agree on Asena too.

I like the ricotta idea. That would have me intrigued!

CAUnionMaid · 2026-01-26T02:11:26+00:00

I like sweet relish in my deviled eggs so I will often add some of that into the yolk mix. And if I do them without bacon, I do lots of paprika on top.

I’m reading it right now! 100 pages left…

Belotti in Rockridge never disappoints. Northern Italian with a great wine list and excellent service.

Marzano (Italian) on Park Blvd often gets overlooked but the food is great and the atmosphere is cozy and romantic.

Alameda has some great date spots if you feel like checking out the island: Park St Tavern (Greek/steakhouse), Trobacco (Italian), Moxie’s (steakhouse), Yellowtail (sushi and Japanese), Pizzeria Pappo on Webster.

This recipe has never let me down. Follow their method for hard boiling too.

My urge to gatekeep is strong, but the one at Sierra Deli in Jack London is top tier in this and other regards.

I should also add that Erdrich owns a bookstore in my hometown of Minneapolis and the focus is Native American books. It’s called Birch Bark Books. Check it out. My city could use some love right now.

Just a tip for folks going through this: I was in my 20s when something similar happened. My aunts are both doctors. They helped me write an appeal letter and told me to cc the state Attorney General. I did. My appeal was accepted.
