What's not to love about San Francisco? You can't spit without hitting a farmer's market. A good farmer's market.

So I went out for a quick visit to see my sister, who lives there (lucky duck). It was a short weekend trip, so every minute counted. She indulged me by letting me pause to touch, smell, and photograph every single bit of food that crossed our paths. Case in point: street tacos off a truck. In this case, we also stopped to taste.

Not that we don't also have these in Colorado, but this time it was a family experience. |
Lucky Duck isn't an intrepid cook, but she's more adept in the kitchen than she thinks she is. In just a couple of hours, we'd whipped up a mighty fine dinner, with the last minute assistance/company of my MasterChef twin, Azmina, who is much better at remembering to photograph food than I am.
I took full advantage of the fresh produce and seafood Lucky Duck and I came across throughout the day. We had roasted dungeoness crabs, seafood risotto, and some fresh bread, among other tasty treats for dinner.
It's only been a week, but I already miss hanging out with Lucky Duck and Azmina. San Francisco is my happy place. There. I said it. "San Francisco is my happy place" for the fact that there's good food and good company in abundance there.
What a great night! Fabulous food and friends all rolled into one. Come back soon, friend!
ReplyDeletePS: It's really amazing how I manage to look deranged and maniacal in every other picture. It's a gift.
How fun! Love that you got to hang out with Azmina and I loved seeing little glimpses of SF - I love that city too!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I'll speak to you again now. :0
