Inspired by all the extremely fresh food I saw yesterday (see below), we went to one of our sushi haunts, Isobune Restaurant in Burlingame. Pioneering the concept of placing sushi on wooden "boats" from which patrons can serve themselves, Isobune has dispensed reasonably priced fare since the 1980's. For those with a more selective palate, specialty dishes may be ordered from the chefs in the center of the oval. Our meal for three, which included ten sushi plates, one beer, two desserts, and one teriyaki/tempura lunch, totalled about $50.
It was T-shirt weather, so we strolled two blocks to the Apple Store to check out the new iPods. I am happy with my 15 gigabyte iPod, which my paltry CD library has filled to only one third of its capacity, but the new, thin 4 GB models look elegant. Although a pricey $249, I can see why the public is snapping them up. (Whatever happened to "deferred gratification"? Probably in the same dustbin with the Protestant ethic.) © 2004 Stephen Yuen
