Fresh wild sardines
The sardines seem to be back, and Whole Foods regularly now has fresh Monterey Bay sardines. I got four of the little guys for lunch—good size, each weighing about 2 oz. I just poached them in water, put lemon juice over them, a little salt, and then used the fork to fillet them as I ate. Very yummy, very high in omega-3.
Other exciting news: I saw a Smart Car driving around Pacific Grove, and the new Trader Joe’s near downtown Monterey opened today. I like TJ’s—for example, I consume a lot of ground cinnamon. Little spice jars of ground cinnamon at Safeway: $4.49. At TJ’s: $1.69. Same stuff, so far as I can tell, and certainly the same size jars.
