I got crabs at SF supermarket

The comments are still trickling in on the FF imbroglio, including one busting my chops for the nth time for that old True Love thing. In the lack of any public statement from Nilesh and without having heard anything I can only assume that he still stands behind his statement and that he is continuing to call for a boycott of Fools.

And speaking of ancient gossip, now you can hear about it straight from the source.

It's awkward to segue from that, but the show must go on here at Heckasac. Get ready for some juicy gossip about some juicy crabs I ate last night. The market on Broadway was sold out of crabs so we decided to go to SF supermarket on Stockton and Florin. If you haven't been to this place then you haven't sampled the fantastic cultural diversity of this area of Sac. They have everything from cute, dirt-cheap little plants to a full meat and fish counter, a BBQ takeout area, gold jewelry, top shelf liquor with prices that rival the locked case at Cortis, everykind of crazy canned fish, vegetable and packaged sauce you could ever want, dishes and pots and pans, and a cheap produce area with stuff you can't get anywhere else. The live crabs were slightly more expensive here than at the place on Broadway. The were about ten bucks each but totally worth it. When you go to check this market out you should eat at Hong Leong sandwiches in the same complex first for delicious Vietnamese sandwiches, shop at the market, and then head to the secret Salvation Army tucked away there (unless it's sunday, I hate how they're closed on sunday!) As we drove towards the supermarket down Stockton I got so excited about my New Year's resolution to eat more Chinese food because there are about a trillion places I need to try. I noticed two noodle houses that I have to go to, one of which is a Lollibowl attached to the Lollicup franchise of tapioca drinks. I'll just throw Vietnamese into the resolution, too.

Once we got home, Grace dumped the poor critters into cold water and turned up the heat. When it started boiling we timed them for ten minutes and then took them out and had a feast. She made a great dipping sauce that perhaps she could post the recipe for? It's her dad's recipe.

In bad news for Tower workers, Brokeback Mountain opens there today and I can't wait to see it. D.P. noted that the sold-out screening from the other night was not so bad despite the giant crowds because the patrons were so happy to be seeing this movie. That's touching. No, I'm serious, it is.

This just in: Crab dipping sauce recipe

1 part soy sauce to 1 part regular vinegar
minced ginger
pinch sugar
dash sesame oil

I know, it's ridiculously simple but delicious. Grace's dad owned a restaurant in College Greens when she was a kid.
