Grape-Nuts

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Grape-Nuts is the best mainstream American cereal - no added sugar or color, not even genetic modification. Not one of those fad cereals from our childhood (with dyes dissolving into the milk), but a cereal designed to last decades, even centuries. Created in 1897 by C.W. Post (whose daughter Marjorie Merriweather Post had a home across the road from my elementary school that was then a college called C.W. Post).

Right next to Ojai Rotie and equally if not more "discovered". I will say that my croissant was quite good and something unusual - frangipani I think?

Rotie revisited

Get there early enough and it just might work out. This place has been "discovered" but is still worthwhile. I was surprised at how quickly the food came out.

Ojai Mystique

"Ojai Mystique" was the latest show at the Ojai Valley Museum. As a landscape guy, I completely approved. They've had these sorts of shows before but this time the paintings were supposedly done by "19 nationally renowned artists" (although some I think are also local).
