Bamboozled

The title really doesn't have anything to do with this blog entry (like I've never done that before), but for whatever reason, bamboozled popped into my head so it's the word of the day for me :)

Any way, long ago during a drunken Napa wine tour, I came across these *delicious* crackers. They were at some winery and they were FREE. So after drunkenly having one, (did I mention I was drunk?) I loudly declared just how great they were and ate several more in quick succession (think Cookie Monster style). Then I looked up and saw the proprietor with a very interesting expression on his face. It was disdain slash horror slash disgust slash trying to be nice all at the same time (and in that order). So of course I stopped – until he went to go help someone else and then I ate a bunch more. Sadly, I remembered the look of the box, but could never figure out the flavor.

Fast forward to last weekend when Cathryn and I wandered around at the Market Place in the Ferry Building. We were buying cheese at the Creamy Cow (or something like that) when I once again found my beloved crackers! I lucked out and chose the correct flavor that I had forgotten - Seed! So do yourself a favor if you're a lover of wine + cheese + crackers (or just the last two) and pick yourself up a box from your local chi chi cheese shop and enjoy some cracker luxury!
