Stone Brewing Company’s (Escondido CA) India Pale Ale beer. $6
Secret Pizza, Las Vegas NV
Beer always tastes great with pizza for some reason! This random pizza joint at The Cosmopolitan is a little tricky to find but you’ll be happy you tried it.
Served with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles on a fresh baked bun, with sweet potato fries. $14
Cat Cora Kitchen, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
I ordered with burger cooked medium/medium-rare and you can see that it’s still a little pink in the middle and super juicy, noms! I will say that the patty could have used a little more seasoning, but it was very good. The sweet potato fries were nicely fried and delicious!
Iced tea. $2.95
With lemon aioli. Half $4
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
Simple, delicious! The lemon aioli was a wonderfully falvored, light accompaniment. I love artichokes even though they’re a lot of work to prepare and eat. I guess that’s why I tend to order them out, not cook them myself. Hehe!
Sunrise from my balcony with a view of downtown. Ahh!
Scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese on an English muffin. $4.95
Dolores Park Cafe, San Francisco CA
This simple breakfast sandwich was delicious probably because there was a lot of butter involved, both on the English muffin and eggs. Mmm!
Coffee with cream and sugar. $2
The windy Lombard Street. Such a tourist trap but even I have driven down this thing, lol! I feel sorry for the homes on this street, especially since it’s one-way.
Two eggs cooked over easy on top of crispy corn tostadas, refried black beans, Royal ham, smothered with their fresh ranchero sauce and queso fresco with a side of Mexican potatoes. $9.50
The Little Chihuahua, San Francisco
Omg, there was so much food on this plate – definitely a great value that also tasted great! I was surprised by the thickness and size of the ham, honestly. Way too much food for me to finish. The potatoes were also tasty.
Mesa yellow blanket flower (Gaillardia x grandiflora, Asteraceae), Dolores Street. I’m not a big fan of yellow flowers, but I did like the silvery leaves of this ornamental.
Char-grilled, minced naturally-raised turkey with garlic, herbs and spices. Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken in a spicy, creamy tomato sauce. A homestyle Indian platter with one or two of the dishes listed below, roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $10.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
This was the first time I tried the turkey kebabs. They were pretty good with a nice flavor. I generally like my Indian food saucy, especially on a thali plate so of course I’m partially to their chicken tikka masala!
Women’s Building, 18th Street. This building has artwork on all sides so it’s pretty cool!
Avocado, crab and Spanish paprika. $9
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
This cold soup was light, delicious, and refreshing! I loved the bits of crab hidden within the chunky puree, and the paprika added a bit of smokiness. A perfect starter on a warm day!
Garage door underwater artwork, 24th Street. The Mission is SO colorful and the people are very daring and creative with their homes – love it!
Salted rim and garnished with oranges. $5
The Little Chihuahua, San Francisco
What’s brunch without a mimosa?! I think I had just gotten out of the gym, so I was very thirsty. Hehe. This was delicous and refreshing. The service at the Noe Valley location of Little Chihuahua is always sweet.
Chips with roasted tomato and habanero salsas. Compimentary.
View of The Castro from Corona Heights Hill/Park. On top of 1 of 14 San Francisco hills.
Char-grilled and marinated naturally-raised chicken. Saucy grass-fed lamb and potatoes. A homestyle Indian platter with one or two of the dishes listed below, roti (handmade bread), slow-simmered daal (lentils), rice, veggie salad, chutneys and raita (yogurt). $10.95
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love the thali plate at Kasa! You get so much delicious food for a great price. Everything has a lot of flavor and the spicy great sauce is amazing.
Big Brother is watching you artwork, Market Street. I like that they decorated the construction pathway along this section. I don’t think Hollywood Billiards has ever been open since I’ve lived in this city.
Served over ice and garnished with cucumber and basil. $8
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
Wow, I love the presentation! The longitudinal slice of cucumber looks really pretty especially with the basil leaves peeking through. And the Pimm’s Cup tasted great, very refreshing!
Jungle mosaic mural, 24th and York Street Mini Park. This is such a cute mini park and the artwork is so colorful and fun!
Sunny side up eggs topped with ranchero sauce and cheese, refried beans, homestyle potatoes, and flour tortillas. $6.99
Cantina Loredo, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
Omg, the potatoes were the best part – nice and spicy from the roasted peppers. That was a nice surprise! The rest tasted good too, but pretty standard.
Red wine by Paul Hobbs, Vina Cobos, Mendoza, Argentina 2010. $11
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
I love the back patio at Starbelly. It’s very relaxing back there, and the servers are usually great. The 2-top tables are pretty small though so you definitely have to shuffle your plates and glasses around as things come out.
Transamerica Pyramid Building, Financial District. During graduate school, I had a office temp job at a construction firm in this office building, lol!
