But I am le tired...

It's time for another cat post!  This time I'm featuring Georgie, my giant fluffy boy.  Jeff recently caught this adorable picture of him yawning and I couldn't resist sharing.


Happy Caturday, everyone. :)

Eating our way through San Francisco

Last week we met some friends in San Francisco/Sonoma for a little vacation.  I'd say we spent most of our time walking and eating.  Here's a (long) recap of our food adventure!

Day 1

Our first day was mainly spent traveling, but that evening we got in some good food.  We visited The Stinking Rose for dinner.  I like that their tag line is "We Season Our Garlic With Food."

We started out with the bagna calda or "garlic soaking in a hot tub."  It had been cooked to a soft texture and was genuinely delicious when mushed on some of the provided bread.
 
Jeff decided on the meatloaf for his entrée.  He thought it had a good garlic flavor and was a good meatloaf.



I chose the garlic braised boneless short ribs for my entrée.  They were just the right amount of garlic for my taste and they were cooked to the point I didn't need anything but a fork.  The mashed potatoes were also a great texture and I enjoyed eating them since we were off keto for the week.










After dinner we wandered around Nob Hill to find dessert.  I ended up with a tiramisu gelato from Alimento and Jeff had a cream horn from the bakery next door.  Both hit the post-dinner sweet spot superbly.
