@thomasfuchs meh, disagree. Nationalization puts the risk on us and the (maybe) reward. It’s a too big to fail situation if we’re not already over the cliff on that. Taxing properly is the way to get societal money without risk.

@skinnylatte I saw an Oakland bus yesterday that said “Agents are people too,” (wtf?) so the SF ads have escaped containment.

@skinnylatte the windows are tinted so we can’t see that they’re empty. :/

@skinnylatte yes, team onigiri breakfast!

@thomasfuchs cheat harder!

@skinnylatte what are your East Bay picks? I go to ranch 99 sometimes, it’s fine, but it sounds like there’s new stuff to try?

(I also like Tokyo Fish Market but that doesn’t quite seem like what you describe.)

@skinnylatte they’ve used the same tactic for at least 25 years. :/ I remember figuring it out when I was new here and young… *Oh that’s what this is.*

@skinnylatte same on this and nearly ever common holiday, especially those based on Christianity.

@skinnylatte so good. I remember that hat… not literally but maybe? Heh

@skinnylatte I’m curious about your thoughts/taste of midwestern fish, northern pike, walleye, others, if you ever encounter them.

@skinnylatte :( you could be playing Hitman literally anywhere right now.

@skinnylatte the lighting is so good with Mila’s fur and expression. Cookie, too. Take care, they were great.

@skinnylatte “I’m just ordering dumplings” is the new “this is an Arby’s.”

@skinnylatte thinking of you and all the cat love you’ve shared here. Take care as you can. ❤️❤️

@inthehands oh deleted my reply. I thought Hilton was part of Marriot, what my link referenced:

@skinnylatte his byline/ID needs quotes around at least one of the words “Opinion Contributing Writer”

@skinnylatte @index what are the basic doughs in a Chinese bakery? I feel I’m ignorant and also maybe they mostly/only use the same dough for every pastry? That can’t be right?

I like going to random Chinese bakeries but don’t know if my selections have been wrong or there’s more variety.

(Haha although I know some American bakeries that mostly/only use croissant dough and they bore me. So maybe working with a single dough is just more practical and less elaborate than I want.)

@skinnylatte oof I really want to offer hidden Oakland tips, and there are like 6 bakeries I go to, but none are good enough. :p

Did you ever go to Sunday Bakeshop on College? I think it closed about two or more years ago, it would have been my pick. Combined a lot of french pastry with Asian styles, especially savory stuff.

Maybe check out Forma bakery on Telegraph. I should go back; it was pretty good when I went a while ago but also heavily skewed to croissant dough. I like those pastries but need more dough varieties to embrace a bakery overall.

Starter on College has more range but also skews to croissant dough and to sweet things.

@skinnylatte cool thanks
