Juba what?

JUBILI !!!!!!!

Went to pho with Rob, Jade and Eric. Then Rob and I rode our bikes down to Fillmore while Jade and Eric drove (tsk, tsk) to Jubili for dessert. Going to Jubili was equivalent to watching unicorns dance on clouds. The whole idea is to serve authentic frozen yogurt, like real yogurt, not yummi yogurt yogurt, with fruit or cereal toppings. I decided on pomegranate seeds, blackberries, and mochi. It passed the rigors of my intestinal tract, and I felt great afterwards. Yes, I sure am coming back to Jubili! Thanks Jade and Eric!

Afterwards, I met up with Jenny and played Rummy 500 at Cafe Abir. I didn't know that they shut down for a few months and opened again completely renovated. Where have I been? The new Cafe Abir is still the same but better. We had a great time, and I {finally} won. I used to always beat Jenny, I'm starting to lose my rummy wit, or maybe Jenny's just getting better, but I doubt that! Har har.




Rob and I also stopped by Elbo Room to take photo booth pics for my Servas application. It was a very efficient trip, and we got not 3, but *6* pictures!! WAY better than Annie's Social club, where you also have to wait a gazillion years for your smelly pictures to develop. We were in and out in about 5 minutes. Woot!

Date night!

Last night Rob and I went to our favorite SF French bistro called Chapeau! If you ever get the chance to eat there, I highly recommend it. The restaurant is small, quaint, and local, with really GOOD food. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so I will just have to list the foods that we ate.

Our menu consisted of the following:
Duck salad
Sweetbreads
Scallops
Colonel, green apple and lemon ginger
Prime rib with bone marrow
Warm chocolate cake
Praline Cake

The bone marrow was interesting, but kind of in a bad way. I guess it’s one of those dishes that requires an acquired taste. It was the consistency that made me not want to eat it. Everything else was out of control!!

Did you know that Chapeau means "hat", but with the "!" it means "wow!"

Wow! Indeed.

Chapeau!

Hi Blog

Hello Everyone!

I have arrived to the blog world.

My first trip after my lay-off was to Seattle. Thanksgiving was great, Part I and II. The weather was cold, and it felt like the holidays. I saw old friends and made new friends, including a 9 week old boxer named Bella.

Everytime I'm in Seattle, there are buildings being built, condos on the rise, and new restaurants opening everywhere. I try to visit my favorite places, and I'm glad they haven't moved or changed much, but the famous block where cha cha's once was and other surrounding bars is closed and going to be demolished for more condos. It saddens and excites me that Seattle is expanding so rapidly.

I am preparing for my trip to Hawaii now! Woot!
