mom and i had dinner tonight with her friend carmen at a place called eccolo in berkeley. i ate butternut squash lasagna and bread pudding with currants. already, i have eaten so much delicious food here!

today we visited berkeley bowl, a grocery store that is awesome in general, but especially awesome because of its produce section. there were like ten kinds of mushrooms, lots of heirloom tomatoes, SO MANY SWEET POTATOES, and carrots with their green leafy tops still attached, like in cartoons! most importantly, they sell meyer lemons, which are a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange, so it's this sweet, thin-skinned lemon. in short, the meyer lemon is my favorite thing ever.

i think i will post pictures tomorrow, or maybe the next day. tomorrow will be my first day of the internship. i'll let you know how that turns out.
