Fiorella
I’ve been dealing with the flu and pneumonia for the last couple weeks so we’ve been laying low, but I was finally up for going out again. We decided to go very low key and just eat at the newest restaurant in our neighborhood, Fiorella, the 4th location of this restaurant in SF and occupying

Elena’s Mexican Restaurant
Just decided last minute to try a walk-in at Elena’s since we really enjoyed our lunch here awhile ago and wanted to see what dinner was like. We were told we’d have a 45 minute wait, so we went to the bar and ordered some margaritas. Andrea had the spicy watermelon (jalapeno tequila and mezcal)

Khao Tiew
Wanted to try this newish Thai restaurant in West Portal. You can only make reservations if you have a party of 6 or more. We showed up just a bit before 6pm and had no wait for 2. There were a lot of dishes we wanted to try and didn’t know where to start so

Beef Brisket
I haven’t made beef brisket for a long time (have usually done pork shoulder, which so easy), so wanted to give it another try. Andrea picked up a nice 4 lb. piece of brisket from Bryan’s Market and made the coffee rub based on a recipe from the Wall Street Journal that has worked for

Coffee
We’ve been roasting coffee for more than 15 years. It all started when this coffee shop in Windsor first showed us how you could roast beans with a hot air popcorn popper. I started with one of those from a garage sale from my neighbor, but soon upgraded to a Gene Cafe hot air roaster

Hilda & Jesse
I’ve been meaning to eat here for awhile, but since it’s more a brunch place (and we don’t often brunch), I never got around to it. They just earned their surprise Michelin star recently, so I at least thought we’d try them for our weekly dinner (they’re open Thur, Fri, Mon for dinner). They have

Prik Hom
Was just looking for something pretty quick and easy, but tasty, so we decided to revist Prik Hom on Geary. They have a seasonal menu, although the last time we were here it was also summer so some similarities with the menu. I started with their Ultimate Thai Iced Tea. Not sure what made it

Tiya
I had read about this restaurant, but with our schedules I hadn’t been able to book it until now, so I didn’t really remember what to expect. I just knew it was an Indian restaurant and that we’ve been searching for another decent place ever since Indian Oven went downhill, Dosa went out of business,

Taishoken
After running around the city (including an unsuccessful search for canale), Kristina and Paula treated us to some ramen, which was a great idea. We went to the Taishoken at their Valencia St. location. We started with the Agedashi Tofu and Eggplant. I enjoyed the subtle flavor of this dish, although the fried part on

Dandelion Hot Chocolate
Tasting the Mission Hot Chocolate and the House Hot Chocolate at the Dandelion Chocolate in the Ferry Building since we had some cards for free drinks that we were given when we did the factory tour in February. https://www.dandelionchocolate.com/pages/ferry-building
