Breaded and fried with fig compote and walnut bread. 7-item Tasca tasting plates $34
LaSalette Restaurant, Sonoma CA
Mmm, warm cheese with sweet fig compote and tasty bread! You can’t go wrong with that.
Backyard, Anaba Wines. We hit this small tasting room on our drive home. It’s located at the intersection of Hwy 121 and Hwy 116 so it’s very convenient to stop by when leaving town. The people behind the bar are friendly and the back area is small but cute.
Montery baby squid tempura with sriracha aioli. Happy hour $5
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
These were good – perhaps a little greasy, but they had a nice flavor from the batter. And I like the taste and slight heat of the sriracha aioli.
A-OK hand signal sidewalk stencil, Guerrero Street. It always amazes me how many different stencils there are in this city!
Chicken cooked with potatoes in special spicy sauce. $6.99
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA
Mmm, saucy Indian food! I also like that they use large chicken breast chunks. Even though I love thighs, these breast pieces remain very tender in this dish.
Chinatown, Grant Avenue. The hustle and bustle of Chinatown is only steps away from San Francisco’s shopping and financial districts – a very cool juxtaposition.
Smoked pork loin. 7-item Tasca tasting plates $34
LaSalette Restaurant, Sonoma CA
I love cured pork, and this was really tasty! I was sad that they only give 4 slices. I could have eaten an entire plate of this!
Buena Vista Winery. This is the oldest premium winery in California. It’s kinda randomly located and the grounds are tiny. My friends love this place, but I wasn’t too impressed by their wines. I think they underwent a recent remodel so their building is really cute inside!
With fresh coconut milk, pineapple, grape and basil leaves.
Catch Beach Club, Surin Beach, Phuket THAILAND

Soy beans sauteed with shoyu, sesame oil and togarashi. Happy hour $4
Barracuda Sushi, San Francisco CA
These weren’t very spicy, but they were definitely flavorful! The togarashi (dried chili pepper seasoning) added a yummy flavor and texture on the outside of the edamame.
Jungle themed mural artwork, 24th and York Street Mini Park. I wouldn’t want to be the person who painted the the top of the mural on the right. That’s three stories up!
Indian bread stuffed with chopped onions and parsley. $1.99
Curry Boyzz, San Francisco CA
I don’t really know why I keep coming back to this place. Probably because it’s one of the few Indian restaurants in The Castro. The food is decent and they’re pretty quick so I can’t complain.
Illegible graffiti, Osage Street. This bright and colorful artwork in The Mission is on my way to Bart so I see it every day but I’ve never been able to read it, lol!
Boiled and shelled yellow lupini beans. 7-item Tasca tasting plates $34
LaSalette Restaurant, Sonoma CA
Mexican soldier cutout, Las Barracas de Sonoma (Sonoma Barracks). This is in a cute little museum along the town plaza.
With three flavors: sweet, sour and spicy.
Catch Beach Club, Surin Beach, Phuket THAILAND

Vanilla ice cream with miniature peanut butter cups and thick fudge. Junior scoop $2
Ice Cream Etc., Savannah GA
This ice cream was super sweet and rich. Maybe too sweet and rich for me. Not a fan…
Propeller Club Memorial Fountain, USS Savannah Marker. I came across this fountain on the riverside walk along the Savannah River off W River Street. There’s a lot to see and do along this walk and the breeze along the river makes for a pleasant stroll.
Poached eggs, applewood-smoked bacon, onion, carrot, scallion. $15
The Girl & The Fig, Sonoma CA
This was very tasty. The duck confit had great flavor and the hash was beautifully made. The grilled scallion was a nice addition!
Mission San Francisco de Solano. This old church is just a block from The Girl & The Fig. It is the northernmost Alta California Franciscan mission.
Baby octopus. These are SO fun to eat! I guess it’s weird thinking that I’m eating a baby octopus, but they taste SO good! 7-item Tasca tasting plates $34
LaSalette Restaurant, Sonoma CA
Sonoma City Hall at night. This random (but pretty) building sits in the middle of the Plaza in downtown Sonoma and is surrounded by dozens of cute shops and restaurants.
