Cafe Chez Panisse
In 1972 Alice Waters started Chez Panisse in Berkeley based on the concept of cooking only with locally grown or raised ingredients that are in season. That idea is stronger today and Chez Panisse has become not only an institution in Berkeley, but one of the world’s most famous restaurants.
After living in the Bay Area for nearly a year, I finally got the chance to eat at Chez Panisse (well, the café) this week. I never had a doubt in my mind that is would be good, but I was doubtful that it would be anything truly special; something I had not had in the past 9 months from Berkeley which seems to thrive on the slow food movement Alice Waters propelled with Chez Panisse. Nonetheless, it was one of the best meals I have ever had.
I started with an a citrus avocado salad with the most perfectly soft, salty avocado I’ve ever had, grapefruit that I ate all of even though I don’t remember ever liking grapefruit, small bright orange cumquats and tangerines. My entrée was a chicken ala diavolo, thought surprisingly not the slightest bit spicy, with green beans and polenta with corn. The chicken was so moist and the polenta, a new obsession of mine, added the perfect texture complimenting it spectacularly. For dessert I had a strawberry and cherry shortcake with fresh creme The thing about my whole meal is that it was so simple with not a lot of ingredients, but each ingredient was so fresh and crucial to the dish. The crème was so fresh and the shortcake so crispy and just the right amount of sweet. And I could have bathed in the rich, tart and sweet cherry sauce.
This is one Berkeley experience I will definitely repeat.

I have realized some essential things through your blog post. One other stuff I would like to talk about is that there are many games available and which are designed specially for preschool age children. They incorporate pattern acknowledgement, colors, pets, and designs. These commonly focus on familiarization rather than memorization. This helps to keep little children engaged without sensing like they are learning. Thanks
