The no-longer-resident ABM thought I deserved a copy of Broke-Ass Stuart’s Guide to Living Cheaply in San Francisco. (Why? I wonder…hmmm).

Broke-Ass Stuart is known for his writings in the San Francisco Bay Guardian, and he’s the honorary, charter, uber GrubBoy. If only I were that motivated to go to as many places as he’s gone. I’ll go where no yuppie has gone before for y’all, but he hits up not only a ton of cheap (and not-so-cheap) eats in the various neighborhoods, but he gives you the scoop on cool attractions, bars, or events to check out, too.

A brain health blog written by the brainiac folks over at Lumosity warns that not all fish is brain food. Apparently, fish like tilapia don’t contain the right fatty acids in them to make them exactly healthy.

And there I was, thinking tilapia was the new chicken of the sea — white fish, kind of tasteless, a little cheaper, and takes on whatever flavor you put on it. Guess not.

Of course, there’s another side to the story, as one commenter duly notes. Corn-fed fish, in general, are not full of the good fatty acids. (When the heck did fish start getting fed corn, anyway?!, is my real question… but then sometimes it’s just better to be in the dark.)

Good tip from Fast Food Critic — Friday (7-11-08), 7-Eleven (the store) is going to give away 1 free Slurpee per person. There’s a black-colored Slurpee that they’re debuting too…though I’m one for neon-colored shaved ice drinks.

If you live in San Francisco, better figure out your plan of attack now with this Store Locator — I only see 2 close to me in the Richmond…

As the comments do note, this little health code violation has been cleaned up. But компютриvermin photos from Eater SF are always a nice thing to see. Now is that really a rat in the grainy photos or a fuzzy mitten or glove? You decide… (sort of like Dick Cheney and the naked woman reflected in his sunglasses.)
