Where do you get honey cake and other jewish baked goods for Rosh Hashanah? I went to Grand Bakery this morning at 8:00AM when they opened to pick up honey cake, cookies, two Challahs and some savory pastries, all for under $40.00. I got quite a spread!
Grand Bakery is open today until 3:00PM.

The Edible Schoolyard Project by Alice Waters
Alice Waters is changing the way children eat in Berkeley, CA. She is a pioneer of the organic food movement, and she founded the Edible Schoolyard Project in 1995 at a Berkeley, CA middle school. The students will grow and prepare healthy foods as part of their class work.
She claims, "I was worried about the future for our children so I wanted to bring them into a new relationship with food and the environment."
The Edible Schoolyard project now has a network of almost 5,000 school programs, as well as six more edible schoolyards.
She adds, "When children grow food and cook it, they all want to eat it!"

Recommended neighborhood in Seattle, Washington: Greenlake neighborhood- next to Green lake!
If I were to live in Seattle, I'd want to live in the Greenlake neighborhood. A dear family friend has moved to this area in the last year, and she loves it! When I saw pictures of the area, I fell in love with the lake, the craftsman architecture of the homes, the foodie shops and restaurants, and the proximity to the heart of Seattle! It has Green Lake park which has a path around the entire lake. There are shops and restaurants around the circumference of the park, such as Chocolati, Peet's, Urban Bakery, and others. This park is dog friendly. The path around the lake is 2.8 miles, which is plenty for a leisurely stroll! I found a 1906 craftsman with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, for $799,000 in the heart of the area.

Loyal Pet Shop in Rockridge district of Oakland, CA has pet supplies and cat adoptions
Yesterday I went for a walk on College Avenue with my dog and I stopped by Loyal Pet Shop on College Avenue in the Rockridge District of Oakland. This pet store is such a friendly place and there is a large cage with kittens for adoption from Hopalong Rescue. They have volunteers who come and play and socialize the kitties so they are really sweet!
I am so happy there is a pet store in Rockridge again!
