Briar Patch: rye, rhubarb, lime orange bitters. $11
Wayfare Tavern, San Francisco CA
Noms! We went to Wayfare Tavern with my roomies and had a fabulous time. The service was amazing and I loved the drinks. Dare I say, I loved them more than the food? It’s true. The drinks are expertly made. Although, you really can’t beat their popovers (more to come about that).
Pomegranate Fizz: vodka, pomegranate, ginger rosemary syrup. $11
Sazerac: rye, herbsaint, peychauds, sugar. $11
Shiitake mushrooms, Chinese greens, bacon. Bloomspot 4-course chef’s tasting menu with cocktail pairings for two.
Maven, San Francisco CA
These duck sliders were very rich and delicious! They were on toasted buttery poppyseed egg bun which helped soak up all the yummy juices from the pulled duck. The greens (not quite sure what they actually were) were flavorful, almost on the pungent side. The sliders were on the verge of being too salty from all the rich umami flavors, but I’m glad it didn’t go over the edge.

5 Spot Cocktail: aged rhum, ginger, lime, maple, Thai basil, five spice.
This cocktail had a lot of flavors going on, but they actually all tasted pretty good together. The lime and basil also helped to freshen everything up.
Ground shrimp with chili and ginger patty, house made pickled onions, cilantro and lime mayo, arugula on an artisan white bun. Two for $10

Mmm, there are some delicious Asian flavors in this unique slider! Gotta give it to Sliderbar for creating some pretty creative sammies.

Eureka Restaurant & Lounge, San Francisco CA
War Horse opening curtain, Curran Theatre.
Soju, ginger syrup, lime juice and fresh muddled mint. $7
900 Grayson, Berkeley CA
Ugh, this was way too tart for my taste! I’ve enjoyed soju cocktails in the past but this wasn’t one of my favorites. It looked very pretty though.
Deep fried in a light batter tossed in roasted red peppers, garlic, and ginger sauce. $6
SO, San Francisco CA
I LOVE these fried chicken wings!!! They’re cooked to perfection and are so moist and flavorful. I can probably eat an entire platter of these by myself. NOMS!!!
Stay Puft Marshmallow Man mural with Slimer, Bryant Street. This mural is on the side of the restaurant and I’m not sure what it says in green, but I think it’s “Diet” something, lol!
December 5, 2013. $6.50
Price has gone up!
With citrus-garlic miso sauce, pickled ginger, chives. $9
The Tropicale, Palm Springs CA
Mmmm, so yummy and refreshing. The chilled ahi tasted great with the citrus-garlic sauce.
Chopsticks.
It was still bright outside, but Tropicale already had their strung lights lit.
A special traditional boneless beef curry, topped with fresh ginger and cilantro. $8.99
Pakwan, San Francisco CA
I’m sure everyone in San Francisco knows that Pakwan is the place to go for delicious Pakistani food at amazing prices. When we were there the last time, there was a LARGE Pakistani family taking up a third of the restaurant so this prolonged the wait for food, but I think it added to the overall atmosphere. I mean the food must be good if Paskistanis are holding family functions there, right?!
Sunrise from my balcony looking towards downtown, San Francisco Bay, and the East Bay. Life is good.
Chicken in a traditional tomato based curry from northern Pakistan, delicately cooked in a wok and topped with fresh ginger and cilantro. $6.99
Pakwan, San Francisco CA
This was SO flavorful (especially with that fresh ginger, hehe)! Seriously, the dish was delicious and the chicken cuts were very tender. Mmm, this is why I love curries!
Yellow house and Integral Yoga Institute, Dolores Street. I like the contrasting colors and lines between the two buildings.
Cocchi Americano apertivo, ginger, fresh lemon juice, prosecco. $8
Starbelly, San Francisco CA
I loved the beautiful pale pink/peach color of this cocktail. The ginger flavor was subtle, but a great addition to this lovely brunch drink.
Golden Gate Bridge from the Marin Headlands. We are kinda spoiled with breathtaking views here in the Bay Area! 🙂
Chocolate and orange glaze with homemade candied ginger.
Glazed Gourmet Doughnuts, Charleston SC
Sorry, the donut got smushed a little bit in the to-go bag but that didn’t affect the taste, hehe! The flavor was really good, but I’m not sure that I was a fan of the donut texture. It was on the doughy, dense side. I like donuts that are light, fluffy, and taste like they’ve been cooked all the way through.
With avocado, radish, grapefruit, Italian parsley and spiced sauce on toasted brioche. Served with greens and ginger vinaigrette. $10.99
Papillote, Savannah GA
This was bright and refreshing, and so different from anything I’ve tried before! There were so many yummy components to this and they all tasted great together. I do wish that the salad was pre-dressed because it was difficult to toss the salad on such a small plate. The ginger vinaigrette was a nice addition though. A beautiful dish!
Coffee. $1.99
Revolutionary War Haitian Soldiers Monument. Walking around Savannah was quite fun and you can’t help but feel the history surrounding you. This statue is located in a cute plaza next to the City Market.
