Oh, children, life is sweet: It's apple season (is there anything more beautiful than a slice of Pink Pearl apple?), Lucero's spaceship squash is back, the San Francisco Street Food Festival is Saturday (http://www.sfstreetfoodfest.com), and for dessert, Charles Chocolates is opening its flagship store here in the city (http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=6158b9175add5fbfb0c515375&id=7b49f2fe55&e=b16662e756).
What's that? Fog? Yes. It is August in San Francisco. There is fog. Wear layers. I know, I know. I don't love the cold, either. But Herb Caen was right: The fog is pretty darned gorgeous over those hills. Sandburg said so, too.
Also, one of my favorite movies from the Jewish Film Festival (hard to choose, really, with so many great ones this year), Robert Guediguian's Army of Crime, about French-Armenian poet Missak Manouchian and other members of the French Resistance, is showing at the Kabuki. Brace yourself for some tough scenes (we are talking about the Vichy), but do not miss it.
