Halfway There

Why settle for a salad when one can have Vegetable Crudité ("chilled grilled vegetables, olive oil, balsamic, sea salt") for $8? The owner of Ciao! in Roseville said that she had a special parboiling, seasoning, and grilling process that retained freshness and eliminated bitterness. The eggplant, arugula, bell peppers and squash were flavorful and filling, perfect for a meatless meal.

We were down in the Central Valley again, where the equivalent quality of life can be had for half the cost of the Bay Area (sales taxes are lower, too).

Friends of ours have fled to Nevada where state taxes are non-existent and the cost of living is much lower. Near Sacramento we are halfway there.
