On jicama wrapper with pickled slaw, guacamole, and guanabana (soursop) reduction. $9
Poquito, San Francisco CA
This was very good and I loved the jicama wrapper. Great for a low-carb diet! The shrimp were nicely cooked and I simply devoured these tacos.
“Smile” car. This killer car was parked beside the Mission Dolores. I think they spelled “smile” backwards so that it reads correctly if you’re looking at it from your rearview mirror. Hehe!
Rum, grapefruit, lime, splash of Luxardo over ice. $9
Fork Cafe, San Francisco CA
This cocktail was really refreshing! It had a beautiful color and definitely evoked a place with a warmer climate where Hemmingway might have traveled. If it was a little less sweet, I would have love it even more.
Window display at IXIA, Market Street. IXIA has the best floral sculptures. This dress is made completely of plant material!
I love the sharp flavor of these dumplings. 3 for $1.95

Emerging mushrooms, 17th Street.
With Nueske’s bacon. $6
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
Mmm, these little morsels were SO yummy! Deviled eggs grossed me out as a kid, but now I can’t stop ordering at restaurants. I’m still a little weary of them as potlucks, lol!
Bold, colorful Christmas ornament garland decorating a 24th Street parklet.
Basic po boy with lettuce, tomato and mayo on a toasted roll. $8.49
Queen’s Louisiana Po-Boy Cafe, San Francisco CA
I don’t think I can review this sandwich fairly because I got it to-go and it wilted a little before I was able to eat it. I will say that the catfish was flavorful, but a little greasy.
Beer kegs outside The Dubliner pub, 24th Street.
Beef with onions and peas. Chicken with onions and peppers. $6 each
Poquito, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love empanadas and these were very tasty! The outside was nice and crispy and the fillings were delicious.
Served with mild salsa roja and spicy green aji.
Tin man and child street performers, Union Square. Nothing says the holidays like the tin man!?
With queso fresco, green onions, and home fries. $11
The WestWood, San Francisco CA
Not sure what made this dish El Salvadorian style, but it tasted decent. Perhaps adding queso fresco and chorizo? The home fries were cook beautifully though and oh so flavorful!
King palm (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana, Arecaeae), 16th Street. The long inflorescence strands spraying laterally from the trunk is always cool to see!
Har gow. A delicous standard! 3 for $1.60

Helen Diller Playground, Mission Dolores Park.
Smirnoff blueberry vodka, muddled blackberries, mint, lime and soda. $12
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
I like the idea of this cocktail, but it was a bit too sour for me. If they had used sweet, naturally ripe blackberries, I bet this would have kicked ass!
We were walking in the Mission one night on our way to a comedy show and spotted this random car decorated and covered all in Barbie dolls. Everyone was checking it out and I couldn’t help but snap a couple pics with my iPhone.
Cornmeal fritters served with even more butter! $2.49
Queen’s Louisiana Po-Boy Cafe, San Francisco CA
I normally LOVE hush puppies, but these were dense and SUPER greasy, argh! Damn you spiteful gods – I wanted to enjoy these fried, artery-clogging pillows smothered in butter! Instead, I could barely finish one.
Fresh cedar and Douglas fir evergreen garland with lights, 24th Street.
Ecuadorian beet salad with carrots, peas, bell pepper and cilantro. $5
Poquito, San Francisco CA
This was not what we expected when we saw it on the menu, but we really loved this salad! Everything tasted great together, even the peas which I was originally skeptical about.
SF MoMa posters for Cindy Sherman exhibit, 16th Street.
Mango flavored mimosa. Pitcher $28
The WestWood, San Francisco CA
As mimosas in the city go, this is one of the more expensive ones and for no apparent reason. It tasted fine, but it wasn’t worth the extra cost and the carafe is even on the small side.
A San Francisco sunrise projects light onto our home office door.
