Bloomsdale spinach, goat cheese, fine herbs, breakfast potatoes, sourdough toast. $14
The Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant, San Francisco CA
Meh, this omelet was pretty boring even though it looked like it had pretty good ingredients. The filling was dry and bland and the eggs were under-seasoned. The toast was the best part. Boo!
Pinkish tree mallow flowers (Lavatera arborea, Malvaceae), Point Lobos Avenue.
Barbecued chicken cooked with a unique blend of spices, with tomatoes and onions in a creamy sauce. $11.95
Bombay Indian Restaurant, San Francisco CA
I guess I’ve never really had a bad chicken tikka masala although I’ve had some that were on the verge of being too tomato-y. Bombay’s version was pretty tasty and had plenty of the delicious sauce. I just wish they would throw in a few more chicken pieces.
Naan. $1.95
Riding a Muni streetcar on Market Street.
Marinated, zesty lemon vinaigrette, aioli, smoked bacon herbed bread crumbs. $12
Fable, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I love artichokes! This dish was very tasty and the bacon herbed bread crumbs were fabulous. It took a while to eat through all the leaves, but we enjoyed savoring each one!
Bread and butter with pink sea salt. Complimentary
Gotta love warm bread for the table!
Orange orchid flowers (Orchidaceae), Upper Market.
With house-made mustard and honey. $7
Hi Tops, San Francisco CA
What a perfect item to serve at a sports bar! Since chef Jamie Lauren of Top Chef fame served wonderful pretzel bites at her former restaurant Absinthe, why not add a pretzel to the Hi Tops menu?! Score!
Taking the dog for a walk on the beach at Fort Funston.
In white wine sauce with herbs and cheesy baguette. Happy hour $8.99
Lulu California Bistro, Palm Springs CA
The mussels were overcooked and tough to chew. Their flesh were also super small compared to their large shells – that’s always a bad sign… It’s hard to forgive poor quality and bad preparation when it comes to mussels.
Mossy boulder, Mt. San Jacinto hike.
February 26, 2015. Complimentary
Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA
(From original post) Wow, these babies did not disappoint! They were frickin’ delicious! I loved their soft, eggy texture and luscious flavor. The exterior was beautifully flaky while the interior was warm and comforting. I’m not a big Tyler Florence fan, but these things rocked!

Bacon, turkey, swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato, dirty on Dutch crunch bread. $8.98
Ike’s Place, San Francisco CA
I never like Barry Bonds, and it appears that neither does Ike’s. I guess that’s why they fill the sandwich with turkey. Regardless, Ike’s makes a killer sandwich that tastes amazing despite the less than stellar eponym.
“Anything Goes” opening curtain, Golden Gate Theatre.
Bacon, pastrami, swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomato, dirty on Dutch crunch bread. $8.98
Ike’s Place, San Francisco CA
I will reiterate that the sandwiches at Ike’s are delicious! They’re quite substantial too, but I guess they should be at this higher price range.
Colorful sunrise from my balcony. I know I post a lot of these pics, but sometimes I wake up in the morning and am absolutely amazed at the beautiful show outside.
These were delicious little bites that packed a lot of flavor! Family style supper $46 per person

Large decorative metal gate, NW 57th Street.
Half size charcuterie plate with 3 items, served with cornichons. I chose Zoe’s Meats salami (air dried pork salami made in Seattle), jambon cru serrano (air cured ham from the Spanish Pyrenees), and pate albigeois (country-stly pork pate). $7
Le Pichet, Seattle WA
Mmm, I love charcuterie plates! This was really good and I think the pate was my favorite. So simple, so delicious!
Baguette and butter. Complimentary
Schubert Sonata, 1992, Mark di Suvero, Olympic Sculpture Park. Painted and unpainted steel.
Buffalo mozzarella With shaved golden bottarga (silver mullet roe) and watercress. Family style supper $46 per person
Staple and Fancy, Seattle WA
Mmm, I love all cheeses but homemade mozzarella is particularly delicious! It’s SO light with a beautifully silky texture. Yes please!
Baguette with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Complimentary
Rachel the bronze pig, Pike Place Market. How can you not love a 550-pound bronze cast piggy bank?!
Levain bread, prosciutto, chevre, deviled eggs, brown sugar-glazed bacon, pickled vegetables, fresh fruit. $14
The WestWood, San Francisco CA
I am torn about this place. The food was decent, but the wervice was really mixed. I think the two owners(?) were running service that morning and the older white-haired man was really nice, but the younger dark-haired man was rude and unattentive. I liked the variety of this breakfast platter, but I’m still not certain that the cheese was actually goat cheese. I asked for confirmation, but the affirmative still seemed unsure. It’s also really dark in the back so you should request to sit outside or near the front if you want to enjoy the bright sunny weather for a leisurely weekend brunch. Otherwise, it feels like you’re dining in a cave.
