I read an eye opening article about what it’s like through the eyes of a little one. I hadn’t stop to think lately about how hard it is for a young child who’s decisions are mostly all made for them & to have their adults frustrated at them when things don’t go according to plan. I’m working on being more flexible & able to see things from another’s perspective. In a whole different vein, how…
Feeling good about the investment of spending time with the people that matter most. I’m reminded to think into the purview of the future in making present decisions. (Thank you MWG.) Having sweets help ease things. Mango pancake & coconut noodle with fruit. Asian desserts are the best. Light & refreshing bites. Baby tried durian for the first time! He did not reject it. Two bites in, he’s a fan. Durian sweet coconut noodles.…
Last night I discovered for the first time what others have known for some time. Bill’s Place on Clement in a diamond in the rough. Boasting the decor of days gone by, this place has chandeliers & good burgers. We sit next to a Robin Williams signed poster that says, “[t]he best place to eat meat!” Oh I miss you Genie & you’re right about the meat. My medium rare third pound patty melt is…
I love motherhood. Outside Lands music festival is happening at Golden Gate Park & I can hear Sam Smith singing to his enthusiastic crowd. Every year we go to OSL but this year we hang back with baby. The most highly attended OSL yet, our streets (& parking) are flooded with concert goers. I quite enjoy & am amused by this shift in priorities. I love live music. I do not love shoulder to shoulder…
Welcome Joe for your short trip in San Francisco! So glad you’ve got a CLE so we can reconnect. SF tried to put its best weather for our visitor. A late sundown, pink skies & a warm night laid the groundwork for a pleasant stop at Marnee Thai. Joe looks chipper waiting for our food to come out. Amazing it’s been 5 years since law school. Now life is different & it’s better. The…
The potato being my son. Because he has a fever. It is National Sisters Day! Horray for my bold sister for living life large. Remember, you are so much more than you realize. Yes, you, who already thinks herself well. You are even more. Ole Eggsy has been in cahoots with a fever since last night. Advice nurse warns us that fevers over 106F or fever with infant Tylenol for over 3 days is a…
Photo credit: Foodology If you grew up in the 90’s, you may very well remember a beverage that defied gravity. Orbitz isn’t just a site you can book flights on, it was every kid’s dream. Truly a drink from the future because years later, a similar concept in boba would steal the pocket money of all pubescent teenagers. Orbitz had little colored “orbit” balls floating in its sweet fluid. I was one of those kids…
Photo credit: Omnivore’s Cookbook I miss that place. Cafe Duck Butt, in Honolulu, Hawaii is one of my favorite places. A hole in the wallish establishment, it boasts Korean bar food in a very hyper driven environment. Kpop videos and music blast while delectable dishes like seafood or kimchee pancakes can be savored. One day I’ll take my son there so he can watch mommy enjoy some watermelon soju & some fried chicken.
