Whether it’s to open something new or to hunker down until better times I don’t know.

Anyway, it used to be like this but now it’s like this:

Now I’ve seen everything.

(Now, how about a cable cooking show where the host takes bible recipes and updates them for today’s times? I’d certainly watch that (if I had cable TV, which I don’t.)

All the deets:

“Bread. And Better!™

Ezekiel 4:9® products are crafted in the likeness of the Holy Scripture verse

Ezekiel 4:9® to ensure unrivaled honest nutrition and pure, delicious flavors.

“Take also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils and millet, and spelt and put them in one vessel…” Ezekiel 4:9®

It’s this special, unique combination of 6 grains and legumes that harvests benefits beyond what we normally expect from our breads, pastas, cereals, and other foods.

  • Source of Complete Protein - Rated 84.3% as efficient as the highest source of protein (comparable to that of milk or eggs)
  • Contains 18 Amino Acids - Including all 9 essential amino acids
  • Increased Digestibility - Sprouting breaks down starches in grains into simple sugars so your body can digest them easily.
  • Increased Absorption of Minerals – Sprouting breaks down enzyme inhibitors, so your body can more easily absorb calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and zinc.
  • Increased Vitamin C - Sprouting produces vitamin C.
  • Increased Vitamin B - Sprouting increases the vitamin B2, B5 & B6.
  • Great source of Fiber - Combining sprouted grains and legumes gives a good amount of natural fiber in each serving.

And as is true with all our Food for Life Sprouted Grain Products, we only use the very best ingredients and baking methods to ensure you truly get the very most out of your food.

  • We use only freshly sprouted certified organic live grains.
  • Our products are kosher.
  • We use absolutely no flour. Studies have shown that grinding grains into flour increases the surface area upon which enzymes in the body can work to more. quickly convert starch into glucose.
  • We don’t’ use any genetically modified organisms (GMO’s)
  • We don’t use refined sugars. When sugar is refined and processed there are many harmful ingredients that are added to the sugar as a result. Instead, we use malted barley, a natural sweetener produced from sprouted barley, which is basically a carbohydrate comprised mostly of complex carbohydrates rather than the “sugar” carbohydrates.
  • We don’t use anything artificial – no preservatives or shortenings.
  • We use a unique slow-bake process to preserve the natural fiber and bran benefits of grains.

Single Parent Heads to the Western Addition’s “Ghetto Lucky” to Feed Hungry Teenager, Avian Edition

Monday, June 18th, 2012

I’ll tell you, I don’t know why people call the Lucky on Fulton the Ghetto Lucky, but lots of people do.*

Anywho, this was the scene out front the other day – the fledgling on the upper right was getting fed by the parent on the lower left:

These kinds of boids seem to like whatever kind of vegetation the Sav Mart / Albertson’s people put in there. And they’re all over the place now, feeding their hungry kids.

The next step will be how to get inside the Fulton Lucky for some light noshing.

Like this:

Nature is Everywhere.

*Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. I mean, it’s not Whole Foods or nothing, but maybe that’s a good thing…

Shirtless Shoplifter at Western Addition Lucky Supermarket is Looking for Witnesses of Pepper Spraying – Excessive Force?

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

The Great Lucky of NoPA probably gets more than its fair share of shoplifters, for whatever reason.

Anyway, here’s the latest, a flyer posted from, one supposes, a lawyer.

Bold Pigeon at Lucky Supermarket Waits for Sliding Door to Open and Then Begins Long March to Meat Counter

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

This bird knows damn well where the exit is, but s/he’s hungry so s/he waddled from the front of the store to the back without slowing down.

I lost track after s/he made it under the meat counter.

Keep on keeping on, Lucky Pigeon!

Wow, Andronico’s Supermarkets are Seeking Bankruptcy Protection, But They’ll Stay Open For Now

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

The local Andronico’s supermarket chain, home to an insane collection of fruits and vegetables, is seeking bankruptcy protection, per the San Francisco Business Times.

Their website is down now, but the stores are open and they’ll continue to be open for the foreseeable future.

Taste the rainbow, in the Sunset District:

Wow.

Good luck, Andronico’s workers.

Red-and-White Monolithic Icon Pop Quiz: Which is Older – Sutro Tower or the Giant Church Street Safeway Sign?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

It’s a mystery to me. (I could look it up but then it wouldn’t be a mystery any longer.)

I’m thinking, wow, the font on that sign looks pretty old, but maybe they replaced the sign in the 1970s with a font that was old-school even back then…

Anyway, can you imagine either icon getting approval for getting built, you know, by the Powers That Be, in this Day and Age?

I can’t.

Western Addition NoPA Shoplifter Busted for Whiskey from Lucky – Rastaman Goes Down Hard on Fulton

Monday, August 15th, 2011

Well here’s the MacGuffin, what the drama the other day at the “ghetto Lucky” on Fulton near Masonic was all about – a 1.75 litre bottle of Old Whiskey River Whiskey from (Willie) Nelson County, Kentucky.

I heard you’re supposed to get a Willie Nelson guitar pick attached to the neck of every bottle of this brand of six-year-old Bourbon, but I didn’t see it:

Anyway, that was what was dropped outside of the Lucky on Saturday, just by the eastern entrance.

And just beyond that towards the street was this scene. Can you see the little dude wrapping his arms around the legs of the big guy? I think that’s what they call tactics:

See? Timber:

And then ka-thud on the sidewalk of Fulton:

Out come the handcuffs from the undercover agent (called “the L.T.” [lieutenant?] by Lucky employees):

And then it’s past the place where the shoplifted whiskey got dropped and back into the store to wait for the SFPD. Just another day in Paradise south of McBaker and west of the HayBro, just another day in the NoPA, Western Addition, San Francisco, California, USA:

Does this particular Lucky lose lots of alcohol on lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons?

Well, considering that Lucky hires people just to lie in wait for shoplifters, I’d say yes.

Take it away, Mo:
