Satan would like for you to have these three largish taquitos. The price? Oh, put your wallet away. No money! A mere trifle, really. Why, I doubt that you’ll even notice it’s gone.  It’s just….

Chez panisse menu

Menu.  Oy, that bisque! The evening was delightful, but exhausting.  On the way home, Mary criticized every stitch of clothing that I had on, my vocabulary and pronunciation, my social skills, and my cellular structure. “Mitochondrial DNA gets passed down matrilineally, right?  I thought so.  Mmm-hmmm. Explains a lot.”
