First Try Tofu Soup & MV A&W Festival

Jessica & I's first try at making Korean Hot Tofu Soup (Soondubuchigae)! Surprisingly it came out quite good, not as spicy as I thought despite it's strong spicy aroma!! A bit watered down cause of the beef broth, but we both were quite happy with the outcome. We used fine hot chili powder, beef broth, tofu, clams, beef, egg, kimchee, leek, scallions, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil! It's actually really easy to make and a quick delicious eat. It only took about 15 minutes to prepare and 10 minutes to cook.




With about an hour and a half to spare before Jessica had to leave, we headed to the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival featuring over 500 artists and craftsmakers! There were sooo many tents of exhibits and displays for sale and food that we wanted to try but we didn't have much time with only about an hour to explore. BUT, we did manage to snag this corn on the cob, which was sooo tasty!! I never thought about putting garlic salt, parmesan, lemon pepper, and lemon pepper butter on corn! I guess I'm gonna have to do this more often at home. c:



I also managed to take a couple shots of some of the artwork and crafts!

Earlier Last Month in SF

Farmer's market in the Embaracadero!

I loveeeee farmer's markets!!! I love the environment, the people, the fresh fruits and veggies, homey jams and dips, and beautiful flowers! I also got R's mummy some unique looking orchids (the ones that I'm holding) but I didn't get to take a good photo of it before giving it away. :c









Not a great shot, kinda off focus there, but unique looking orchids! I think they're a hybrid?

Continued our walk from the Embaracadero towards the North Beach area / Fisherman's Wharf and stopped by Golden Boy Pizza! Different style than what I'm used to (ya know .. the normal triangle looking slices haha) ... these are more square/rectangular and definitely more breadier. Almost like Foccacia??




My FAV! Clam Garlic, soooo nomsys! I think it could do with a little less parsley and garlic and more clam though.



Combination was alright, but still good!

Definitely cheap nomsy eats for a quick lunch! Would sooooo come back for more of the Clam Garlic! If only you weren't so far away. :c

This girl at the Wharf gave me a bag of peanuts after complimenting me on my sweater! Hahaha ... yay for free nuts?!




Mini street performer show that we saw at the Wharf before heading to Riley's! Captain Jack Spareribs!! The kids loved him. c:

At Ripley's Believe It or Not! Some of my favorite photos/things at the exhibit. Most of these were taken by R.








Walked around the Wharf and then passed by a Susie Cakes! Decided to try their Red Velvet & Coconut cupcakes! c:



Barrels and barrels of salt water taffy in this candy shop!!! The Caramel Apple is my fav. c:



Coconut & Red Velvet

Sooooo nomsy! Normally I don't like frosting too much (even in the cupcakes that I make hahah) but this one wasn't too overbearingly sweet! Just right to complement the red velvet cake. c:
