"That island that's named after that cancelled TV show"

From the crest on Hyde you have a great view of "that island that's named after that cancelled TV show" as I heard someone say quizzically the other day ;-)

Lombard street

I haven't taken very many pictures of Lombard street, the "crookedest street in the world" throughout the years. You don't see much of the switchbacks on this one but it's a damn fine photo nevertheless.

Make way for new and fresh stuff

I like them, I really do. But these old lawn chairs from like the 70's or 80's got to go. If they weren't jampacked with repellants they could probably make an honorable exit as fuel for our next BBQ. What do you say, honey?

Tending the garden

As a newly self-appointed gardener I have to take care of our backyard (and our front yard but it's less demanding). And there are a lot of these aloe vera cactuses which I like as they don't need very much attention under the fierce Califonian sun. Non at all, actually. They look a little scary but are a self-appointed gardener's best friend :-)

Roasted Duck Curry

For lunch today I had a Roasted Duck Curry. Veggie duck with pineapple, tomatoes in red curry. The place is located on Polk in the notorious Tenderloin district. But everyone in The City knows the best chow can be found in the worst of neighborhoods. The name of the eatery? Thai Idea Vegetarian. Not very tasty name but the food sure is great. You can check out the menu right here.

Extremely hungry

The guys are telling me our pizzas are ready to meet our chompers. Extremely ready.

You got to try these

Mouth watering treats...

Nettie's

From video games to food

My restaurant is doing great.

Nice to meat you

For the 37th time

Union Street Festival, San Francisco, June 1 2013.



Festival day

As Sarah is in Chicago this weekend I have to take care of business (enjoying myself, that is) and head down to the Union Street festival myself. Maybe pop in at Trevor's place while I'm in the Marina. I'll get back to you later with a report.

Chilling

Sarah went to Chicago this morning so I'm taking it easy, zapping through the channels on the TV, munching snacks and just chilling.
