This month started off kind of rocky but has turned promising. My graduate school applications are all sent it, I'm kicking butt with my workouts, Valentines Day weekend was relaxing, and I'm headed to Seattle on Friday. WooWooh! Oh and Lent starts tomorrow....I'm giving up candy (including chocolate) and fried foods.
Life is pretty good right now and I want to enjoy it. Life in San Francisco? Sure, why not. I want to explore even more which brings me to my story of the week....
After work on Friday, I headed over the hill to North Beach with Graham. We grabbed a beer at Rogue, right near Washington Square Bar and Grill (a SF landmark). Afterwards, we stopped by a newsstand to pick up a copy of the San Francisco Chronicle because we heard that we were in it! Graham's uncle is head of the SF Chronicle Wine Competition at Fort Mason every year. Our picture from last year made it into the paper, how exciting :) Anyways, I also picked up a copy of 7x7. I was drawn to it because of the epic picture of fried chicken and waffles on the cover but also because of the "2010 Big Eat SF 100 Things to Eat and Drink Before You Die" article.
I surprisingly have already eaten some of the things on the list but even with that, I haven't even begun to make a dent. I know not many of you live in San Francisco that read my blog BUT if you ever visit you now have a list of must eats. Perfect! Because really, we all know that the best way to visit a place is to eat and eat and eat your way through it.
