for some reason this weekend really turned in to a tourist in my own backyard sort of weekend. first it was alcatraz, then it was the wave organs, and today it was mclaren park with samshrew, chris, randall and sushi dog. we hung out for a few hours and made friends with some other dogs, and then we went for foods. it was such a peautiful day, the weather was really warm, and as you can tell, it wore me and sushidog out.
This afternoon Randall went out to hang with some folks, and samshrew
and chris went hunting for houses in our neighborhood. This meant I
was on sushi dog duty. I tried to get her to help me with my long
neglected chores (seriously, there was so much stuff to do including
laundry folding from three weeks ago), but all she wanted to do was
sit around with a cheeseburger on her head.
Ps. Check the size of those pandas. This clearly explains why this is
a weekend for resting.
this morning randall and i got up early -- as in actually set the alarm on a saturday -- to head to the ferry building for breakfast. in case you haven't heard, or don't live in the area, the saturday ferry building farmer's market is a total food porn extravaganza. and the big draw, the thing that made us get up at the same time we do for work, is the fish tacos at primavera. these fish tacos are hands down my favorite fish tacos in all of the bay area. maybe it's just the primavera tortillas (which are heavenly), but i like to think the entire package is amazing.
sadly, when we arrived, we saw that the fish tacos were NOT on the menu today. it was such a disappointment. i mean, their chilaquiles are great, but it's no fish tacos. the worst part is that this let down could've been avoided, i just discovered that primavera does put its saturday menu online afterall. FAIL.
luckily the rest of the day didn't follow the fail pattern. we managed to get knives sharpened (it's been almost a year of saying "we should get these sharpened"), go to a corgi gathering in the park with chris and sam, get some comic books, get rid of some crap on craigslist, and even make time for a cat nap.
ps. if you go to the ferry building farmer's market, you also have to get the bacon from fatted calf. if you are in a situation where you can not bring home the bacon, be sure to grab some of their beef jerky instead.
pps. samshrew and chris have some big news. you can't see it in this pic, but there be some bling on it!
after work i stopped by laura's for a bang trim. they had gotten really long, and now they're back to their usual bowl roundness. they're crazy blunt, and maybe too much like a little kid, but i heart thems, and they're exactly what i wanted (if you need a haircutter in san francisco, do go see laura at barnets, she's fantastic!).
when my bowl cut was done, i stopped by burger's place. she's been sick like the rest of us, and today was her first real day of health. we chatted for a bits, and then headed out to meet randall for a delicious dinner. he was a grumpy bear beforehand, but some foods and a suita puppylove did the trick.
ps. bonus points for anyone who can tell me where we ate dinner.
