You know it’s a slow news week when TosaNow reports that a
Tosa company completes two projects. And neither one in Wauwatosa. It might be newsworthy when your kids actually complete something they started, but I’m guessing Selzer-Ornst does that with all the projects they start.

The rain is nice and needed. But I’m stuck in a house with an excessive amount of vegetative matter from this morning’s farmers market in Brookfield and a stir-crazy dog.
I can do things with the tomatoes and basil, but the dog wants exercise. Bark. Bark. BARKBARKBARKBARK!!!
For now, a furious tongue workout with a peanut butter-filled kong will have to do.

Even with a car full of sweet corn, green beans, and red onions, I had to stop at the new Fresh Foods store at Brookfield Square. I’m not often tempted by the mall, but resisting this will take some self-control.
The best part was the engaging staff, scores of animated and friendly folks.
Oh: and the great jazz trio. I’m not sure why the store's management stuck them in the entrance where you could only listen in passing. If they’d been playing in the store, I’d have stayed all morning and impulse-purchased more than $19.56 worth of foccacia, "artisanal" cereal, and herb-roasted chicken.
Still, in aiming to make grocery shopping an “experience,” they seem to have hit a new note for this side of town.
