Happy birthday :)

This is the tres leche cake from Tartine. Oh boy. I did not expect Tartine lines to be so unnecessarily long. I had a bite of their croissant as well. I have not yet had a really delicious croissant before but this is probably as good as it gets in S.F. Nice sound when you break the bread apart and kind of a crunch when you bite into it. Brian (Happy Birthday!!) says that a croissant is suppose to be flaky? How do you attain that type of perfection?

I've been waiting

For the sun to come out! The fog took over the Bay Area last week so the few hours of sun is nice. These flowers look happier in the sunlight too :) I pass by these flowers while running around and finally took some time to admire them close.



Surprisingly, this is just some foliage hanging outside of the Fine Arts and Caesar Chavez buildings.



Classes are going well. Design is fulfilling. Though I feel something missing.

Speaking of design, I'm planning on making the shelf that I mapped out last year. I'll try to sand down the wood this weekend. It won't take much of anything except brute strength, consistency and determination...Things that I typically lack on a weekend. Well, I already glued the wood together. This was harder than I thought without adequate space. I wish I had worked on a table or .. not in my dad's garage next to his Acura.

^o^

She's home from France

I'm still trying to figure out a blog style. Do I even have time to be thinking about blogging? Helvetica (it's actually arial!) +default blog with giant photos will do for now. Cheirie bugged me the very next morning to go to the Ferry Building so we could grab Blue Bottle Coffee and Acme bread for some apparently, super excellent butter she got while she was hanging out in France.


Yay, coffee!

I also got a waffle. It was good but not as good as the waffles I have off the So Good Belgium Waffle truck at school! He sometimes in Golden Gate Park. I hear that he's also at other Farmers' Markets too.


My sister was talking to some out of towners and I selfishly complained that the waffle isn't as good. I'm kind of a dolt sometimes.


Cheirie ready to attack the ridiculously delicious butter she brought home.


Honey stick samples :) don't remember the names, doh!


The ridiculously delicious butter.


You would think, it's just normal butter with seaweed but in it's actually hand made butter! I don't know if I will taste anything as luscious for a while.


Also sampled some chocolate. Om nom nom.


You licked it!!! Oops! :P


Lol, my hair. I really like this room. Book shelf above bed but it's constructed into the wall.


I like this sweater a lot. I got it at UO back when they still sold Lux. They probably still do, I dunno.

Well, it's been a long day!

I'm in summer school. I practically have classes day to night. Rather tiring but fun. I sound like a preschooler saying this but I look forward to seeing my classmates everyday.

I'm finally using Picasa now. I thought I would like it a lot but it turns out, it's not intuitive enough for me to find the full size photo in my galleries. What's up with that? It's okay though! I just need to edit part of the link to get the desire size of photo I want. Pretty neat.

Brunch at Zazie.

I regret not coming to Zazie with my other friends the week before this. I had to cancel the morning of! I'm felt so awful but I'm glad everything is good at home! I originally opted to go somewhere in the city but was too lazy to go out there to find parking. I found parking immediately at Zazie even though it usually is rather difficult. The joy!

Photo with Angela since she hates taking photographs, muwahah.



I shared the gingerbread pancakes (with some pear compote which was mediocre and apple sauce. I've had better pear compote elsewhere!) Also shared the crab benedict (a little stingy there aren't ya?). I think I rather go to Mama's if I ever want crab benedict again.









I had a tartine the last time I was here. I was not blown away. When will San Francisco offer me a unique tartine that doesn't have salmon and cream cheese? Sigh.

Renegade Craft Fair 2011

It's ridiculous that I did not take any photos of the actual fair but I was definitely there. I was helping out Janine and Glenn at Uppercase Publications with Catherine and my friend Annie. I will be sure to take more photos next time.





Annie (Curbside Treasure and a gifted vintage typewriter. Ah, I just saw her photos. They're much better than mine. I should shrink mine to oblivion!

On to the food! I had some southern fried chicken, a pie pop and Jamaican tea. I always forget to think about my health when purchasing meals.







I'm much happier with the way I post now. All I need to do is go to my Picasa gallery and right click for the drop down menu and "copy image URL." So much better than using the blogger tool!
