The big deal

Champagne Sunday

Look at the butterscotch pot de creme. Cliffhouse’s champagne brunch buffet is gorgeous & delicious.  My charming sister took us to a fanciful feast for brunch where we dined, drank (not much) & dined some more.  Here is plate one of many:  My attempt to take photos of the actual buffet was shot down given the number of other hungry buffet goers. C’est la vie.  Baby did great occilating between the arms of dad, mom,…

Fast Food Francais

Sausalito Wednesday. Found a little spot for a late brunch.  Fried oysters with teeny little pickles.

I could eat this all day. I was tempted to get the Porterhouse, which is 49+ ounces of steak perfection, but alas, reasonableness set…

85 years for the young & 10 weeks for the growing

Celebrating grandpa’s 85th birthday today, along with baby’s 10th week. Enjoyed Kome’s buffet on Junipero Serra in Daly City. I like to fill up on sushi & dim sum. I like the beef stew noodle soup too. I particularly like the hand rolls. You can choose from California handroll, Spicy Tuna, Unagi & fresh Salmon. I ask for no rice so I can eat more! I know, brilliant. Everyone enjoyed the variety of food &…
