With truffled mascarpone. $18
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
Mmm, this is true comfort food! You can’t go wrong with a delicious mushroom ravioli and the truffled mascarpone puts it over the top. I like how the truffle flavor isn’t overpowering and that you can taste and enjoy the other components. Noms!
Another beautiful day break from my balcony.
Hand-crafted margarita featuring Patron Silver and a touch of fresh orange juice. Served on the rocks. $9
Wet Ultra Lounge, Reno NV
This was a pretty nicely made cocktail. It wasn’t too sweet or sour, and it went down smoothly! Yum.
View of Lake Tahoe from Mount Rose.
Sauteed chicken, eggplant, onion, jalapeno, bell pepper and basil. Lunch special served with jasmine steamed rice, egg roll, soup, and salad with peanut sauce. $6.95
Thai Lotus, Reno NV
I didn’t know it at the time, but this was going to be one of the best meals we had in Reno. Now I don’t wanna talk smack about Thai Lotus because their food was decent, but that’s just really sad for Reno!
Egg drop soup.
Egg roll.
Side salad.
Steamed jasmine rice.
Lemon curd and house made ricotta cheese. $3
Knead Patisserie, San Francisco CA
Great lemon flavor and the ricotta had such a soft and fluffy texture. The pastry shell was reminiscent of a pie crust. The whole thing was surprisingly filling considering its size. Delicious!
Coffee from Philz. It’s next door to Knead Patisserie so it’s super convenient to grad a cup to go with any pastries your get. Philz is still my fave!
SO yummy! These are one of my favorite dim sum items. 3 for $1.60

Bread flour, eggs, buttermilk, cream, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, brown sugar, butter, pecans, yeast, salt. $2.75
Arizmendi Bakery, San Francisco CA
Not too sweet, but utterly delicious. I’m kinda sad that I couldn’t eat it right away cause I’m sure it’s even better warm!
Sock monkey and magic rabbit cakes at Noe Valley Bakery, 24th Street.
Plantain dumplings with powdered sugar. $5
Poquito, San Francisco CA
Perhaps these were a little overcooked?! I loved the dark, rich flavor but it bordered on burnt. I also wished there was more plantain.
Christmas decorated public parklet, 24th Street.
Chorizo, grilled onion, pappardelle noodles, bacon, tomatoes in a Cajun cream sauce. $12.95
Fork Cafe, San Francisco CA
This tasted yummy, probably because it was so rich and bad for you! Pappardelle is one of my favorite pastas, but I wasn’t expecting the chorizo to be in meatball form. They still had a lot of flavor and the texture was good.
Cooked squid in Chinatown.
Fried sticky rice dough on the outside and filled with a minced pork mixture. 3 for $1.60
Good Luck Dim Sum, San Francisco CA
I’d never had this dumpling before and I really like it! If the sticky rice dough was any thicker or less cooked, I’m not sure I would have liked it though.
Barbie car, The Mission. This car was kinda creepy and cool at the same time.
With house-smoked chicken and cajun sausage. $17
Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
Mmm, great smokey flavor and lovely ingredients. I really enjoyed this bowl of gumbo!
Bread and butter. Complimentary
Finally saw The Lion King playing at the Orpheum Theatre, Market Street.
This place is now serving full on lunches and dinners and even have a happy hour with discounted beer and wine. I haven’t made it for an entire meal, but I’m glad that this cafe is on my way to Bart so I can always duck in for a yummy snack to go. This mini pear tart was tasty! $3.75
