OK after going to the market down in Torrance the other day, which buy the way is a great place if you like European export's and a great deli on site.. there's also a great restaurant deli(where i had my lunch on off day) where you can have lunch.. that i would highly recommend .They also have a main dining room too in the village.. i am talking about Alpine Village in Torrance Ca. (the 110 and Torrance Blvd).They have big bands that play during the week in the main restaurant and it's overall a great establishment.. However this is not the purpose of this little blog to promote Alpine village. The purpose of this little blog is I Bought a few items in the market they have on site, and was surprised they wanted to charge me $.10 (that's 10 cents) for a bag.Have been reading about this in the paper and heard though the media that this is coming .. when we have to have our own bags.. apparently it's good for the environment..well was totally unprepared for this, and declined the bag ( i only had two items).. so it's coming folks, glad i was caught off-guard in a small market i don't really frequent to much.However know the day is coming soon when you have to start bringing your own bags very soon in the bigger stores, I frequent more often .. purpose of this little blog, be prepared too

bring your own bags to the market.. odd combination i got , chocolate and beer (the chocolate was for someone i was going to visit) however the beer was for me.. think i had it before and i tend to like the darker beers..however not sure i would recommend, chocolate and beer together..
