Baby Asian Pear

Baby Asian Pear

I ate ate a baby Asian Pear my friend Kimmy gave me grown from a friend's tree. It was so small, but so tasty. Sweet. Crunchy. Refreshing.

Pizzle with Pesto

I got to go to one of my favorite sandwich shops today for lunch... Ike's Place on 16th and Sanchez. I love The Pizzle on Dutch Crunch. I swear the Dutch Crunch bread almost tastes like Round Table Pizza crust. The Pizzle is Chicken, Cheddar, Bacon, Ranch, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle - I pass on the Onion and Pepperoncini's. The guy recommended trying pesto on it. So, of course, I did. It was pretty killer. Grub!

Omnivore

I'm not sure if this makes me want vegetables or meat more. Nonetheless, this sign is pretty rad. Painted on an awning of a market on Mission in San Francisco.

Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Icing

Look what I made! Yummy Chocolate Cupcakes topped with Peanut Butter Frosting!


Yummy switch from normal chocolate cupcakes. It's even good using cupcake batter from the box and making peanut butter icing using peanut butter, cream cheese, butter and confectioner's sugar. Delicious!

Check out my Sugar Lumps

Time to hustle for the truffle! New season of Flight of the Conchords is coming! Check out "Sugar Lumps".

La Palma makes me Tutifruti

I had some delicious tortillas and tamales from La Palma "Mexica-tessan" for Christmas. A yummy, sugary Tutifruti Jarritos too. If you live in San Francisco, you should definitely visit La Palma and give it a try. 

I discovered that a Mexica-tessan is a wonderful market and taqueria combo in the Mission District on the corner of Florida and 24th Street. Get some fresh, homemade tortillas for your dinner one night. You'll find a huge difference from what you are used to buying in the store. Their corn tortillas are soft, rich in flavor and "two-ply"; they have an airy pocket in the middle. The tamales have a good flavor. I preferred the regular tamales over the Salvadoreños style. They have a very rich flavor, wrapped in a banana leaf, rather than a husk. They also have a an olive in the middle. Watch out for the pit!

Happy Halloween

I made you a Halloween Movie treat! Enjoy!

Special Thanks to Bruno for help with the project.
