I am taking a food writing class. UC Berkley extension here in San Francisco. Great class so far - the teacher is Jeannette Ferrary. The way she teaches works well with the way I learn. She is grounded but with an optimism and excitement that is hard not to want to be near. I am reading her book - Out of the Kitchen. In the article about the Times this paragraph meant something rather special to me:

"A lot had happened since that day, a couple of decades before, when I'd felt the womanly role required me to cook that unbakeable bird. Now I could roast that turkey, and do a hell of a job of it, if I wanted to. Or I could write a story or whole book about it, if I wanted to. Or I could even ignore it. The choice was mine.
I guess that all I really wanted"

This is how the girl feels about SF health care surcharge that restaurants have been adding to checks recently:

Here's the thing - companies have been paying for their employees health care costs for years, as they should. Why is it suddenly okay to put it separately? I think it's the opposite of honest - it tricks people. You think, oh, their steak is only 37 dollars. That's reasonable. But then there's that 4%, which most people don't think about much. And then the steakhouse down the road, who have been giving their employees health care all along instead of just starting this year because the SF gov made a law about it, who charge 38 dollars for the same steak, looks expensive. When really it's the same price.

If I had a beer bottle store, could I suddenly be like, oh, I'm charging 2% MORE this month because I decided to give my employees a better retirement match? NO. You add it to prices or you suck it up.

Screw them.
