Hi! Ate! Us!
I know, I've been gone a while. Consider it a summer sabbatical. Or hiatus {tee-hee}. Truth is, I just haven't been terribly inspired in a while.
And then, sometimes it comes in spades, all at once. In a very short period of time, I have:
- Celebrated a good friend's birthday at South Food + Wine, which has renewed the excitement for my trip to Australia in November.
- Felt magically lit from within at the Fatted Calf dinner at Piccino, bubbling over with the thrill of great food and great friends and beautiful spaces.
- Shown my kid brother some of the best food in this amazing city, and watched as it lit a fire in him to pursue his dream and go back to school.
- Eaten the most perfect San Francisco summer sandwich: Fatted Calf mortadella, Dirty Girl tomatoes, butter and basil on Acme Pain de Mie...
- ... washed down with a glass of rosato...
- ... whilst watching a magnificent sunset!
- Drunk a bottle of bubbly anchored behind Treasure Island
- Ate a post-Ferry Plaza Farmers Market picnic on a blustery day in Walton Square
- Drunk my way, with several awesome people, through half the San Francisco drinks listed in the Food & Wine Cocktails 2008 book.
- LANDED A NEW ACCOUNT!
It's been a good summer, no doubt. But this week, in particular, seems to have broken me out of my writing stupor. I'll be back later this week with a couple of delicious bites -- I have missed this pretty pink page, and I've missed all of you!
