Since baby’s little stunt last night, we ended up doing a Trader Joe’s run & dinnering at home. Filet mignon, green beans & mushroom pesto ravioli. Not quite Indian, but a very happy & delicious meal. Earlier we had a Togo’s sandwich. Pastrami Reuben. I do love my Reubens. I hadn’t had Togo’s since my college days. The UCLA cafeteria had many delightful options. Once my college roommate and I ate a wrapped sandwich we found…
Just kidding, it’s just a burger & thai food, separately. In & Out. The usual dream. Delightful. Kind sister shared our strawberry milkshake with someone who seemed to want it more. The fries are best steaming hot. The proximity of burger to doughnut is well thought out. Krispy Kreme doughnut holes for the win. Baby patiently waited while mom scarfed. Later, we enjoyed some thai food at Narin in Burlingame. A nice &…
The world of the quick and easy. Drive thrus are perfect for babies because you don’t have to take them out to nourish yourself. If you can call McDonalds nourishment. The splendid Fish filet. I don’t usually eat burgers at Mickey Ds, but I thoroughly enjoyed this fish filet. The box said the white fish is responsibly sourced. This makes me feel slightly better about my quick snack. 15 grams of protein for the little…
I’m not talking about you Pieology. You were a godsend. An accidental visit to Pieology, the self-proclaimed study of custom pizza, in Daly City was a delight to the senses. A pizza pie, fully customizable with unlimited toppings. Of course, my pie is fully loaded. I do not understand why anyone would have a pie any different than this one. Unlimited, people! Mine has like six layers with an Alfredo sauce base. Heavy on the…
Congrats to Miss Delfin on her hard earned advancement at work! Well deserved and deserving to be celebrated. Also congrats to Miss Banh on getting into law school. It ain’t fun but it sure is one hell of a ride. These women work hard for what they have. Hard earned & deserving. Credit: Hans Wisdom That is the beauty of discipline; it is invisible. Cheers to the women who work hard with grace…
Welcoming another warm day in Californian paradise. Amist worry about my stay-at-mom choice, we brunch at Crepevine in Burlingame. The herb infused crepe with eggplant, feta, tomatoes, spinach & cheese puts a halt to my worries. Such a life altering choice: whether to stay at home or to go back to work. Either one is heavy with relief & consequence. I must trust I will make the right decisions for myself & my family. Later,…
After a productive afternoon of securing our next bed, it’s time to chow down – filipino style. Hello Karilagan, home of fine filipino cuisine in sunny SSF. We forgo our usual pork adobo for a pork stew, called dinuguan. They weren’t kidding when they said the sauce was rich. Reminiscent of a liver taste, we scarf big. Next is our obligatory vegetable dish. A medley of veggies in a spicy coconut sauce. Surprisingly pink.…
Enjoying the good weather in San Mateo, happy houring at Paul Martin’s American Grill. We order enough for baby too because mom is feeding two. No that’s not why; we’re all just hungry. Our mid mall snack was delicious but not enough. How could bread be so good? Really the question is, how can bread not be good?Salmon lettuce wraps are creamy & crunchy. We, however, crave more protein. Enter two orders of ribs. Fall…
8 Sushi. What has become of you? Once such a delight found on Skyline boulevard, now is not that impressive. But it is cheap. They have a menu where if you order $10 per person, you have access to $2 oysters, cheap rolls, & other goodies. Not bad, not great. Our rainbow roll. Five bucks. Feels & tastes like a bargain. Our bento: gyoza, agedashi tofu, & beef short ribs. Star…
Calm & I attempted to get King of Thai but instead found The Noodle Shop on Sloat at the Lakeshore Plaza. Eerily quiet, the noodles we discovered, with a strikely similar menu to its King kindred, were satisfactory. My vegetarian flat rice noodles was choke full of veggies & tofu. Just want I needed. Soup was a touch bland but Mr. Pepper helped out. Calm’s spicy beef broth looked way more inticing than mine.…
