With smoked cheese and tomatoes. $14
Uva Enoteca, San Francisco

I wasn’t a huge fan of this pizza. I enjoyed the flavors but the whole thing was heavy and clunky. The crust had an odd, dense texture which was surprising since it was thin. It’s all about the crust, right?! The pizza was also on the small side. Don’t think I’ll be ordering pizzas from Uva Enoteca again.

This looks better than it tasted.

Red wines Uva Enoteca

Red wines.
Marzemino, Terre Gioia, Trentino, 2009. $10 for 8oz
Merlot, Chopris, Friuli, 2004. $9 for 8oz
They have a nice selection! These are sold by 2oz or 8oz. I like that the 8oz is served in a small, cute carafe.

Carne board Uva Enoteca

3 item charcuterie board with hot coppa (San Francisco), salame al tartufo (Utah), and turkey galantine (San Francisco). $15
Uva Enoteca, San Francisco

I learned something new! According to Wikipedia “A galantine is a French dish of de-boned stuffed meat, most commonly poultry or fish, that is poached and served cold, coated with aspic.” I’m not sure if this turkey was stuffed and maybe they scraped the aspic off before serving, but it was delicious! And we were surprised by the size of the slab. Of the three items we ordered, the truffled salami was my favorite. I’ve since purchased some from Whole Foods and secretly snack on it throughout the week.

Chicken curry lunch special – Punjab Kabab House

Chicken curry lunch special Punjab Kabab House

Chicken korma with basmati rice and mixed vegetables in a medium spicy sauce, served with naan bread.
Punjab Kebab House, San Francisco

I get it, this lunch special is super affordable and you get a LOT of food and table service, but I wasn’t all that impress with the food itself. I did enjoy that the chicken had the bones in because it always has so much more flavor that way. I think that this is worth a try for the great deal and service, but with all the food options in that area I personally won’t be returning for seconds.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the peas and carrots side. It was too sweet for my taste.

Naan Punjab Kabab House

Naan. White flour leavened bread. The piece that they give you is fairly large. I could only finish about half during the meal.

Project 365: Day 43

Today was pretty uneventful. WGL – work, gym, laundry. I worked another 12 hour day yesterday so I was feeling a bit tired all day. I also felt guilty for missing out on the gym yesterday. It’s less than a month until the cruise and I could afford to lose a little extra around the belly, lol! Maybe I should stop eating SO much. Well, that’s not gonna happen…

Macchiato Blue Bottle Coffee Mobile Kiosk

I’ve decided that I do like Blue Bottle coffee but only if there’s some dairy added, so this macchiato was pretty good. They only serve it “for here” at the Mobile Kiosk, but it’s nice to sit on their high stools, relax, and watch the Castro crowd walk by. $3
