Some "stuffs" for a Wednesday.
The Missus is Juicing (from Stehly Farms):
Sorry, couldn't help it. The Missus has been wanting fresh juices and it seems that only Stehly Farms fits the bill. Sadly, the the Morena location closed at then end of 2020. So, Kensington, here I come.
The young lady who works the juice bar on weekends is so sweet; I think her name is Joanna.
I've been going almost every week…..she knows my name now….sheesh….
Anyway, she works really hard in making fresh squeezed carrot and beet juice for the Missus.
The Missus blends the juices with some stuffs….I think tumeric, etc….and either Grapefruit or Blood Orange juice. Super healthy!
It's one Her latest "things"……..

Kumi Cafe Replacing Chopstix Too:
Well, I hadn't been to Mitsuwa in a while. So I dropped by to do some shopping and was surprised to see that Chopstix Too was gone! Whoa, this one was a surprise. Over the years Cathy has posted on Chopstix Too several times, the last time back in January of 2019. Heck even Vicky did a post back in 2009.
I did a quick search online and found this from Eater. So perhaps another ghost kitchen is going brick and mortar?
Sadly, it's the end of an era it seems.

Saying Goodbye to Chowhound:
Talk about the end an era……
I was looking thru some CH posts and found this post. If you don't want to follow the link; here a bit of the post:
"After 25 incredible years of sharing culinary insights and mouth-watering recipes, we are saddened to inform you that Chowhound will be closing down on Monday, March 21, 2022.
This incredibly difficult decision is due to limitations in the capabilities and resources required to maintain the site on an ongoing basis. Rather than allowing the site experience to degrade, we have opted to close down the site."
I'm certain many of you have never heard of Chowhound….but for me, it was a nice source of dining information after we moved to San Diego in 2001. I had read some stuff when we lived in the SGV, but it became a good source for dining info for San Diego. Of course there were many changes over the years and participation waned…….I'll just leave it at that.
I have met some great folks from CH and after hosting a CH dinner at Ba Ren I met the wonderful Ed from Yuma and we became fast friends.
I think my FOY "Candice" put it best; it's "the end of an era". 'Nuff said.
