Yard Sticks

Jump to Comments

Several years ago I was involved with the start of a Toastmasters group in Oakland. It was a great mix of folks from all around the East Bay who gathered weekly to work on their public speaking skills.  The Toastmasters program involves giving a series of speeches on a variety of topics.

In one of my early talks I shared about some of my “bests” and “worsts” in terms of life experiences.  I will save the worsts for another time.  But I am constantly thinking on “bests”, especially in terms of food.  In that speech I joked that my Mom experiences a “best meal of her life” at least once a week.  For me, I try to be a bit more careful with my rave reviews.  I am lucky to live in a city of great food, and in a broader region of good eats.

So here are some of my favorite food items.  Just a few since it is late at night.  These are the individual yard sticks against which I measure all my experiences with these same things.

So that should get the ball rolling.  I will update this post in the future.
