One of my favorite Farmer’s Markets to shop at is the one held on Saturdays at the Ferry Building. Mushrooms galore, freshly shucked oysters, fresh vegetables and random fruits. I love it all!

We had a lovely summery spell last weekend and Sam had a bad case of cabin fever so we drove up to Hog Island Oyster Farm on Saturday. Maybe he was treating me to a nice day trip since I’ve been cooking all these dinners lately. 😉 We drove through SF and had the windows […]

I love eating tri-tip. It cooks well, super flavorful and is delicious by itself or in sandwiches. When I’m lazy, I’ll get the preseasoned stuff and just roast it and slice it up for a quick dinner.

Tahiti possibly? 😀 2) Cook more Strangely enough, I’ve taken more ownership of the […]

Chicago’s known for their deep dish pizza/steakhouses (and hot dogs). NY’s famous for bagels/thin crust pizza. Nothing screams SF louder than Sourdough. Seattle’s known for being the birthplace of coffee. The little push pin on my traveling map now targets Vancouver. And I associate it for birthing this whole new food revolution starting with… *drumroll […]

I blame our groomsman Ben for getting fat. I got to work yesterday and got a message from asking if Sam and I would be interested in joining him and another friend eating at Fringale for Dine About Town. Um… YES!!! So we coordinated Caltraining plans and after work, the three boys and I made […]
