I emailed this to the original poster, but I guess I will post it,
since there seems to be interest.  

Whole cardamom is dried, but cardamom loses its flavor after it
is ground, so it pays to grind it yourself.  Indian groceries are
a great place to buy spices since they come in reasonably sized bags
and are inexpensive there.  There is such a place on California 
in Mountain View, near Safeway (about a block away).  The spice shop
by Ramona's in Palo Alto is closed, I think (sometime last year).

Monterey market is a great place for fresh herbs, not to mention 
great vegetables and fruit.  Don't let the otherwise ridiculously 
expensive and snooty Stanford Shopping Center keep you from trying
this great market--the prices are better than anywhere else I have
found, and you don't pay for waxes and oils to be sprayed on your
produce to make it look good.  I don't think they have dried spices, though.

Cardamom pods look kind of like small hazelnuts or hickory nuts,
or like very small garlic bulbs.

I just found a cafe that has great coffee for a good price.  The
place is Cafe Sophia, at the corner of Charleston and Middlefield in
Palo Alto.  Their espresso is about $.85, if I remember correctly, 
and a double cafe latte is $1.85.  The latte is rich, but not bitter.

This is a new place (grand opening signs still up), and they sell
a variety of whole bean coffees as well.  And within walking 
distance of my house, too!

I suppose you want lunch...... this place isn't any closer than Mtn. View
but if you have time, it is a definite must go.  Super Taqueria on 12th
street in SJ.  They have also opened a place near Capitol Expressway.


Closer, and feasible for lunch, and just about as good as Super T is
a hole in the wall called Caramba.  It is located on Mary and Washington
at Mary Manor Market.  It is located in Sunnyvale.  It is South American
and it is YUMMY!!!!!!!  Their Yucca con Chicerone is excellent. (Cactus
with fried pork and salsa).



Perhaps you can post a summary if you get very many responses.   I too
live in Cupertino.

The brand name is Stuvie's, owned by Alta Dena.  Even though they are 
cleaner than the average milk production plant, the milk board keeps
closing them down because they don't want raw milk out there.  You can
find it in most natural food stores and Trader Joe's.  Stuvie's also makes
raw milk butter, which puts all other butter/margerine to shame.

In this forum recently someone queried "why would a
vegetarian want his food to look like meat?".  Not
all vegetarians are voluntarily so.  My brother-in-
law stays off pork and beef for the simple reason that
if he eats them his tri-glyceride level soars to
dangerous levels.  I am sure that there are people who
become allergic to meat, and they just want to
fantasize a little.  The frothing-at-the-mouth vegetarians
and animal rights folks would not, I think, elect to
eat anything that looked like meat.

I've only eaten at Central Texas BBQ on one occasion, and I agree it was
some of the best barbecue I've found in California.  As a former resident
of Taylor, Texas, an absolute diehard barbecue community, I was looking
for the best I could find.  CTBBQ was close, but not quite there.  While
the brisket was excellent, the sausages were somewhat meally and the
beans weren't _quite_ right.

Now you would hardly expect the British to have the slightest aesthetics

Clotted cream is cream the through some unknown but probably simple method
is thickened to a texture slightly less firm than butter.  You spread it
on scones (or anything else) and it's sweet and, well to be honest it
reminds me of whipped cream only firmer.  Quite yummy with jam.  I don't
actually want it THAT badly but if people can actually get concerned about

In last Sunday's Chronicle/Examiner in the Image magazine section
there is an easy and *excellent* recipe for Thai chicken soup (tom kha
gai).  It tastes as good as, or better than, you get at the *average*
Thai restaurant.  The flavor is excellent and you can put in the
amounts of things that satisfies you.  

About the only thing you might not find at your local LuckSafe is 
lemon grass.  (Coconut milk is found at most stores now.)  Get the 
lemon grass on a shopping trip and you can have Thai chicken soup 
whenever you want, the way you like it.  Doesn't take long either.

IMHO, this traditional Mexican stew (hominny(sic), assorted meats, red broth) is the only 
organic cure for a whiskey hangover.

My favorite interpertation is at Super Rica (one wonderful place) in Santa Barbara. 
It is very spicy, heaped with Chopped Radish and Red Cabbage. 


In SF, Las Palmas offers a version to go that is very popular with the Mission crowd. 
It has all kinds of meat mixed in (tounge, pork feet, chunks of beef). Jessie, the owner of the restaurant Pozolle on Market, is often teased by me for his version that is, ahem, very westernized.

I was hoping to get recommendations for restaurants up and down the bay that serve
Pozolle. It will stop me from getting in the car, heading south on 101 for some 300 miles,
just to get a Sunday morning bowl.
