don't know where white oaks road is, but two places come to mind:

1) Cosentino's: Bascom Ave off Union - this is a family owned & run
   place that has another store in Santa Clara, Homestead off Lawrence,
   the fruit is fresh, full service bakery & meat department
2) Lunardi's: Meridian at Branham - similar to Cosentino's

There is an outstanding new Italian restaurant on Potrero
Hill in San Francisco - Aperto. Corner of 18th and Connecticut.
This is a neighborhood restaurant, small and attractive. It's
run by a husband-and-wife team - she manages the dining room,
he is the saucier. The menu is California-inspired Italian.
Prices are in the $10/entree range. I would strongly recomend
a visit there, before it's reviewed and "discovered".

Me too!  Let's expand the discussion to include lunch buffets--a
favorite of mine because you can get in and out *quickly*.

A fave:
  Hong Kong Buffet, @ Washington & Fremont Blvds in Fremont.  I go
  for the Mongolian Barbeque--a fix-it-yerself treat.  All you can
  eat after 3:30, $.50/bowl after the first at lunch (but if you can 
  eat more than one bowl, you're *hungry* -- we're talking big bowls
  here).  The lunch menu doesn't rotate, unfortunately, but for me
  the wonderful barbeque makes up for that.  Their fried chicken is
  the best I've had outside of the Deep South.  Lunch is $4.95,
  dinner is $6.95 (you get more items on the Mongolian and steam
  tables for that).

mediocre food, and high prices.

My first choice is Thanh's, located on Middlefield Road
near 5th Avenue in Redwood City (near the Atherton Line).
Enormous menu, featuring all the well-known South Vietnamese
dishes; good, friendly service; well-prepared food; low prices.

(I began eating at this place around seven years ago, when it
was called Anh's.  The other day, driving through San Carlos,
I noticed another restaurant with that name.  This might be
worth checking out.)

There's a pretty horrible VN restaurant in Menlo Park that's
not worth the bother; and the Little Garden, on El Camino in
Palo Alto has a small selection of VN dishes.

I wouldn't give as high a recommendation to Kim's, on Castro
Street in Mt. View... but if that's where you are already, it's
not bad.

In a different class entirely (and where you won't find VN
Beef and Potatoes) is White Lotus, on Market Street near Santa
Clara in downtown San Jose.  Outstanding vegetarian dishes.
If you don't like moulded gluten imitation meat, don't order
it. But if you've got a hankering for banana blossom soup,
really good spring, summer, and imperial rolls, or, possibly,
the world's best eggplant in claypot, give this place a try.

     Okay, now that I've (mostly) unpacked my things, I've started to look
for a good grocery store.  I live on Montague in north San Jose, but I work
in Campbell, so recommendations anywhere between those two points are fine.

     I'm looking for something akin to Andronico's in Berkeley.  A fine
selection of fresh vegetables and fruits, fresh baked bread from three or
more bakeries, five different salamis, none of them Oscar Meyer . . .

     Where should I go?  I already found a Lucky's (all the way in Milpitas!),
which is fine for canned soup or instant noodles, but for the fresh stuff I'm
willing to pay a little more.

Has anyone here had any experience with the new DeLonghi pump espresso
machine? I saw it in a Best catalog recently for $99. I've always had
good experiences with DeLonghi products in the past, but the price is
rather hard to believe (the steam pressure model is $69 in my Best
catalog, if I remember correctly, but after 1 steam pressure espresso
maker, never again).

My experience has been that one should avoid any German espresso machine,
i.e. Krups, and get a decent Italian one, like Gaggia, Faema, etc. Also,
ignore anything that Consumer Reports says about espresso machines.

It is called The Castaways. It is at the Coyote Point park. Take the

     Here are a few off the top of my head.  Having just moved to the South
Bay, I'm already missing all these great places.

	o Chez Panisse, on Shattuck in North Berkeley - The quintessential
	  California Cuisine, go upstairs to the Cafe for a more moderately
	  priced menu (and no months in advance reservations needed/allowed);

	o Lalime's, on Gilman - California cuisine;

	o Ristorante Venezia, on University somewhere near the Cafe, but
	  not the old place across the street; they just moved: Italian;

	o Bay Wolf, Piedmont in Oakland, I think - California cuisine;

	o Omnivore, Shattuck near Oakland - California cuisine;

	o The Dining Room, Shattuck Hotel, Shattuck & Allston Way - I just
	  tried this place, and found it very good, Southwestern food;

	o Townhouse Bar & Grill, Emeryville - California cuisine.


     Well, that's a quick few.  I know there are more good places, but that
should give you plenty of choice.

Whenever I cut myself on something I deliberately smear the blood that
wells up from my lacerated flesh onto the object.  I think that if I feed
the machine/tool/whatever in question it will be satisfied and not try
to cut me again.  That is why there are blood stains on my computer.

It hasn't bitten me again.
