Cupcake Felicity's special birthday delivery, DC.

Since I couldn't be there to celebrate with him, I thought I'd send NB some vegan cupcakes for his birthday! I researched DC vegan baked goods high and low and finally decided on Felicity's! I'm so glad I did, too, because she was a pleasure to work with and, although I didn't get to try one, I heard they were delicious!

The flavors I chose were Chai Tea and Chocolate Mousse with Raspberry. They both look fantastic! And her prices were so reasonable, too!

Thank you SO much, Felicity! And happy birthday, NB! :)

Second time at Tsunami Sushi, Western Addition, SF.

Edamame.

I'm not a die-hard edamame girl, but J ordered some and it was nice.

Also, please, excuse the blurry photo! I've been forgetting my camera an obnoxious amount lately and have been borrowing iPhones left and right! :)

Yellowtail collar.

This was, unfortunately, overcooked. Yellowtail collar is always one of my favorite Japanese dishes, but this was very dry.

I can't remember the names of these rolls, but the one on the right has cream cheese while the one on the right has sweet potato.

The sweet potato roll is my favorite at Tsunami. The roll with cream cheese was the most unpleasant roll I've ever had. I've had cream cheese on rolls before and it has been fine, but they put on way too much and it was "pepper cream cheese" which was not an enjoyable combination.

Overall, I still enjoy Tsunami because it's a fun spot and reasonably priced. I'll just have to keep trying new things!

Burma Superstar, Inner Richmond, SF.

Chili Lamb

Not available mild. Stir fried lamb with dried and fresh chili, onion and basil, comes medium spicy, or spicier!

I LOVED this! The lamb was super tender and the dish was packed with spice! It was definitely intense, spice wise, but I like some heat. ;)

My first Indian style veggie curry.

Greek yogurt, vegetable stock, tomatoes, red peppers, onions, garlic, curry powder, spices.

This actually turned out really well. I liked the lighter flavor, although I didn't use a recipe and think it should be a little thicker. Not bad for a first curry though! ;)

Eggplant and sun dried tomato penne with italian herbs sauce

Eggplant, sundried tomatoes, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, garlic, olive oil and grated parmesan cheese with penne.

Mmm! This was delicious! I love eggplant, but have never cooked pasta with it--definitely a great fit.

Greek yogurt, bacon, parm baked Brussels sprouts.

Blanched Brussels sprouts.

Greek yogurt, bacon, parmesan, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

I mixed the Brussels Sprouts into the sauce mixture and put everything into a casserole dish. I stuck it in the oven for about 10 minutes. I must have forgotten to take a photo after, but it looked really nice, most of the yogurt and cheese baked into the sprouts so although they didn't look very saucy, they were quite flavorful!

Apple crumb cake.

Cinnamon cake batter with diced apples.

Cinnamon streusel.

Batter in pan, topped heavily with streusel mixture.

Baked! Mmmm! The cake wasn't as moist as I was hoping it would be, but had great flavors.

Glide's Annual Bringing Down The House, The Warfield, Downtown, SF.

Little goodie bags at Glide's Bringing Down The House! I was promoting this event this week on the SF Station Arts page, but didn't put in a request to go.. Then my friend Edric asked if I wanted to go so it all worked out!

That's Robin Williams in the middle! The whole show was a lot of singing and comedy and was good fun, but it was particularly cook to see Robin Williams in SF! He had a pretty funny set and his style is so old-school now for comedy so that was cool to experience, too.

I have to say, Glide really knows how to put on an event! The show was about an hour, which is the perfect length, and then it was food, food, food!

There were so many different stations and the place was absolutely packed so I didn't get to take any food photos, but there were so many yummy dishes! Here is Edric getting his guacamole! Thanks so much for taking me, E! :)

Mid-week brunch at The Blue Fig, Mission, SF.

I can't seem to find the site for Teaze, but their tea infuser is amazing! I was blown away! You really have to see one in action to get the full effect--it's a bit difficult to explain, but if you can, try one! I want to buy one and managed to find one on eBay!

Jesse's sweet waffle. Mmmmm.

Savory waffle. MMMMM! I loved this! It's essentially a salad on top of a waffle. It kind of reminded of this amazing pizetta I had at Fly Bar awhile back. It was a pizza topped with salad, which I love! I actually preferred this to the sweet waffle, which says a lot. ;)

I had been wanting to try The Blue Fig for a long time and it finally worked out. It's a cute little cafe--nothing fancy, but good people and great prices. It's strange though because they don't have hours. They stay open until the last person leaves! It's an interesting idea for a place and I feel like they could be a nice late-night dining option, but I guess only if people stay that late!

Thanks for brunch, J!
