Chipotle shrimp salad.

Shrimp marinated with paprika and some other yummy spices, garlic and lime juice.

Romaine with chipotle caesar dressing, Spanish rice with spices, shredded white cheddar and, of course, the shrimp! Yums.

Caesar salad with toasted pecans.

I decided to try Marie's Creamy Caesar dressing because it was on sale. Their Blue Cheese Vinaigrette and Honey Dijon have been long time favorites of mine and I'm happy to say they haven't failed me yet! The Creamy Caesar was great with some added cracked black pepper. :)

The famous Cubana sandwich from That's It, Mission, SF.

THAT'S IT!! Anthony Bourdain made this place and their Cubana Torta sandwich famous! I was SO excited to try it last night after the SF Station & Artillery AG Charmaine Olivia Art Party!

Mmmm.. The deli case full of yummy Mediterranean.

This baklava looked really good!

Okay.. you get HALF A LOAF of bread per sandwich! Seriously.

That's all for ONE SANDWICH. Well, minus the loaf toasting in the far right corner. But everything else is going into one HUGE sandwich, for $10. AMAZING. INSANE.

I don't know what the heck all goes into it, but here is what we found:
  1. Amazing chorizo
  2. Chicken fried steak
  3. Ham
  4. Bacon
  5. A full hotdog (WHAT!?)
  6. Melted cheese
  7. Feta cheese
  8. Tomatoes
  9. Jalapenos
  10. Mayo
  11. Fried egg
  12. Avocado
  13. I'm probably missing a couple of ingredients, too--SO NUTS! Haha.
Oh man, I cannot get over this sandwich!! I'm completely baffled! I was determined to finish my half--and it took a minute, but I did it! My HALF alone was the biggest sandwich I've ever eaten in my entire life! And you wouldn't think mashing so many things together would work, but it was really good.

Aldonza, and I shared this! Thanks SOO much Aldie and Chris!!! You're the best!


Yelp (Print the Yelp page and get $2 off the sandwich!)

Peaches and cheese.

I love peaches! My cousin in Korea is allergic to peaches of all things--so sad.

This white cheddar is alas, not Tillamook's Vintage White Extra Sharp Cheddar (my absolute favorite). I don't know why it's so hard to get Tillamook here--we're bordering states!

Such a lovely snack though.

Sushi mix from Nijiya Market, Japantown, SF.

Mmmm.. I like how they use a lot of fish, wrap large rolls and sell for cheap! :)

Rice bowl with veggies and shrimp.

Brown and rice mixed 1:1. Frozen veggies and shrimp with a light garlic glaze. Delish.

Jessica's bridal shower at Lovejoy's, Noe Valley, SF.

Tea and antiques!

Reserved for the Queens! :)

Jessica (bride) and Virginia (bridesmaid!).

Little See's truffles as party favors. Mine was apple pie with white chocolate and it really tasted like delicious apple pie!

Mmmmmm..

Jess and I got the Cha Cha Cha. Very yums.

Lovely!

Delicious scones with sweet cream spread and preserves. Very tasty.

Tea sandwiches. I loved the chicken apple walnut salad, the cream cheese and salmon, cream cheese and mandarin orange.

Jessica's family.

So much fun. :)

Happy hour at Bar Crudo, NOPA, SF.

Chowder. $5 bowl. Yums.

Point Reyes oysters. $1, but VERY small.

Crudo sampler. I was still full from a late meal, but Ed and Jess said these were good.

Fish tacos. 2 for $10 during happy hour. Eh. Didn't like them and definitely not for the price.
