Will's 37th Birthday!

March 1, 2013

I was a bad wife and was on the road traveling for work on Will's birthday. We celebrated a couple days late over sushi in the Mission at Yo Yo Sushi on Friday night.










And then to Cassanova for some post-dinner drinks:





Happy Belated Birthday, husband!

Park City 2013

February 18, 2013

Will, Abe and I flew from SF to Salt Lake City on Valentine's Day for a long weekend ski vacation in Park City. We cashed in on the fly-in-and-ski program (ski free with a same-day boarding pass!) at Canyons.







For dinner, we at at High West Distillery (yum!). I'm not a huge bourbon/whiskey fan, but I did try the delicious High West Lemonade, which was a fantastic whiskey "gateway" drink.


Super tasty and filling Bourbon Three french onion soup:


For the entree, I had the Whiskey Cider Braised Short rib, with mashed yukon gold potatoes and fried onion ring:

It was Valentine's day, so they offered up some heart chocolates and raspberries as a little treat:


We were joined on Thursday night by Pete, Natasha and baby West.

On Friday, I had a nice sleep-in and got to hang out with adorable little West:


And later in the day, we were joined by Damien, Tessa, Jon, and Whitney. For dinner that night, we headed to Zoom Park City for dinner. I had the bone-in pork chop with brussell sprouts, sweet potato puree and cranberry fennel compote. Insane.


After dinner, we did a little bar crawl: Downstairs, then No Name Saloon, and then Flanagan's....


...and then Cicero's...

On Saturday and Sunday, we headed up the mountain at Park City for some turns. Both days, we ended up at Legends at the base for some wings and fancy hot drinks.


Wendy and Erez joined us on Saturday too!

On Sunday, we got some company!




On Sunday night, Jon and Whitney had to take off, and the rest of the adults headed for dinner at Cafe Terigo:



On Monday, Will and I headed out, but not before some baby-paparazzi!

Thanks to the crew (and the new little mini recruits West and Erez) for another fun year at Park City!

Presidio Trails & A.Q. Restaurant

February 10, 2013

On Sunday, Ashley and Sunny got me out for a 6.3 mile trail run in the Presidio. It was a perfect day, and it was great to check out the trails that I never run on (I usually run on the roads in the very hilly Presidio!).



On Sunday night, Will and I met up with Coco and Sonia for dinner at A.Q. Restaurant. This newish spot has been on my list for a while. A.Q. features seasonal menus, so they currently have their "winter" menu.




To start, I had the smoked chowder with bay scallops and cardoons:


For dinner, I had the Beef Short Rib with black garlic, broccoli and cheddar:


I really enjoyed our dinner at A.Q., it's a go-back.

Celebrity Autobiography 2013

February 9, 2013

Every year, I'm slow off the start to get tickets for the prime events that are part of the 2-week SF Sketchfest. Most of the great shows were already sold out, so we headed to our standby that's usually entertaining, "Celebrity Autobiography: The Next Chapter".


This year's lineup was the best to date: Jennifer Coolidge, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Janeane Garafalo, Fred Willard, Roger Bart, Laraine Newman, and a few more. 




Good times, but I hope to get on the tickets earlier next year to check out something new.
