A giant plate of homemade tortilla chips covered in a pepper jack cheese sauce, spicy taco-seasoned natural black angus ground beef, tomatoes, onions, guacamole, sour cream, and green onions. $15
Giovanni Pastrami, Honolulu HI
This was definitely a largo plate of nachos, but it wasn’t very good. The seasoned ground beef wasn’t spicy at all at the pepper jack cheese sauce was super bland. Lame!
Coors Light beer. Pitcher $12
White bougainvillea flowers (Nyctaginaceae), Ainahau Triangle Park.
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.

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.
Local, grass-fed fresh ground lamb and cracked wheat, seasoned and baked with pine nuts. Served with green salad, fruit and cheese. $13.95
La Mediterranee, San Francisco CA
I had NO idea what I was ordering, and when it came out it was NOT what I was imagining, lol! But it was SO frickin’ good! It’s kind of like a very moist, flavorful lamb meatloaf. I really enjoyed it, and it was large enough that I took some home and enjoy it the next day. Heck yeah!
Complimentary cookies with the check.

I can’t say that I’ve ever had cheese cooked into a gazpacho before, but this was really tasty! Family style supper $46 per person
Staple and Fancy, Seattle WA
Space Needle, Seattle Center.
Chicken Cilicia, Grecian spinach and feta, Levant sandwich, and Lule kebab (lamb meatball) over rice pilaf. Served with cup of curry cauliflower soup, hummus, fruit and cheese. $13.50
La Mediterranee, San Francisco CA
Damn, this plate was certainly a value! And all the components were really yummy, expect maybe the levant sandwich because it was a little dry for me. This was enough food to feed two people though especially after having had an appetizer.
San Francisco Federal Building at dawn, 7th Street.
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

Mac the Goat: rich and tangy gresh chevre, sliced scallions, served with crispy breadcrumbs and drizzled with olive oil.
Over medium eggs, corn tortilla, chorizo, chili verde, avocado. $14
Circa 59, Palm Springs CA
I guess Circa 59 tried to make a fancy version of huevos rancheros, but I was not impressed. The eggs came out fried and not over medium, the tortillas were super greasy and had a weird gummy texture, and the chorizo was WAY too salty. Lame! This was a brunch I wish I could take back.
Sequin artwork, Riviera Resort. I have no clue who this is supposed to be, hehe!
Thin crust, New York style, neapolitan slice with sausage. $3.50
Arinell Pizza, San Francisco CA
Mmm, I could really go for a slice or Arinell right now! Their crust is amazing and they warm the slices to order – noms!

I’m so glad when I fly on United with David cause then we can relax at the Red Carpet Club before boarding and enjoy free cocktails and snacks. Yay!
