Smell that? Ya, that is my pulled pork. It smells hella good doesn't it? Ya it does! (Also the amount of garlic in it is kinda impressive. I should be reaking of garlic for a few days with as much as I used in it.)

I ended up losing a few pounds thanks to cutting out sugar. I'm psyched. I'm off the wagon yesterday and today due to the last day(s) of school- celebrations, etc.- but I'm excited to get back on track. I actually FELT better w/o all of that extra crap in my body.

Having the best coffee in SF right now while staring at transients across the way. There are many things about SF that I love and many things that I do not.

I want to hear it! Gives us a love/don't love list.

I'm currently munching on some watermelon and plotting dinner.

I can think of one thing about SF that drove me nuts...  militant bicyclists.

yes that too...  especially around that McDonalds right off of GG park and Haight.  Watch out for needles in the fries.

So.  Cousin's 10th anniversary shindig this past weekend.  All local flavors of food and wine, and mind you, they're from Dryden, which is right in the thick of wine country.  The main course?  Home-raised pig roast.  I have never had such succulent, delicious pork in my entire life.  The sad part is that I think it may have soured me on pork forever because it was SO DAMNED GOOD and I don't want pig if it doesn't ALWAYS taste like that.

Ludo Lefebvre cooked us lunch today at work.  Yummy stuff.

I ate a lot of fancy food on the cruise which was lovely but eating home-grown tomatoes right now (the cousins gave me a big bag because they know I love tomatoes) is truly worth all the haute cuisine in the world.

I agree 100%.  I am growing all kinds of tomatoes, peppers, and herbs right now (all organic except for the few that are hydro).  All heirlooms and they are fruiting at the moment.  I cant wait to eat/pickle them.  Store tomatoes are so shit.  Nobody understands how much better home-grown tastes until they try it.  (a couple of major reasons being that they aren't crazy GMO crap made to grow so fast, and they aren't picked before they are even ripe for longer shelf life).

Had breakfast with some Indian friends this morning. She made Chilla, which are a kind of pancake made from Semolina mixed with youghurt, then add capsicum, chilli, onion, carrot, cabbage, whatever you fancy but grated fine and mixed into the batter. then served with chutneys. Nice cup of mint and ginger chai to wash it down. Had four pancakes and she tried to put a fifth on my plate... Indians and food

Just made homemade pesto from basil that I grew from seed (again, all organic from start to finish).  So yummy.
