Jack N' Jills (Beverly Hills)
Starved after my trip to Paper Source last week, I stopped by Jack N' Jill's to grab a cobb salad to go. I was crazy angry at the price tag ($12 or $13), but I had already stopped by Il Fornaio and vetoed their hard-crusted, stingily filled, pre-packed, over-priced sandwiches and didn't have much time left on my meter. 
Surprisingly, the salad at Jack N' Jill's was totally worth it! It was an enormous salad packed to the brim with good crispy lettuce and a generous amount of all the toppings. I ate it for lunch, snack, an early dinner, and had to throw away a little bit. This photo really doesn't show how enormous the salad was. And tasty, too. 
My uncle roasted me some coffee this weekend. It smells great, but I have to let it sit for a few days. Yup, everyone makes a big deal about freshly roasted coffee, but it's really best two or three days after it was roasted.

They have a special machine! My uncle is a serial hobbyist.
I've also heard you can use a Jiffy Pop popcorn machine if you're willing to stand at the stove and turn it for however long it takes (20 minutes?), or you can use a very hot oven but you have to shake it every few minutes like they did back in to good old days.
Basically, you need something that can heat the beans hot enough, and constant agitation.
