LOVE this.

We ended up at a Korean-run sushi joint in San Francisco, and to my delight they have this scrumptious Kim chee sushi. Unlike other rolls that simply include Kim chee as filling, this roll used the crunchy cabbage in lieu of seaweed. Great texture and loved the acid. Been thinking about it ever since.
Now if I could only remember the name of the restaurant.
This little Vietnamese café has become one of my favorite haunts for my
workday lunch. When I'm having a sour day, what's better than a nice big
bowl of fragrant pho? The soup here is great! The only cons of the pho here
is that the plate of vegetables is small (I like tons of bean sprouts in my
pho!), and I think the noodles sit in the bowl for a long time because
they're often really stuck together.
I noticed they have sandwiches for about four dollars. I have to try that
some time. It's just that every time I go there, I'm drawn to pho!

Which is apparently right near the Civic Center, where I had gone to an
opera dress rehearsal. I was quite upset when I learned what a bad area we
were in. Well, now I know.
A few weeks ago, I went to the Castro Street Fair. Castro in San Francisco
is a very gay part of town, and apparently every year they put on a little
festival. They had lots of food there and some arts and crafts. Good times.
Josh got some fried vegetable thing, and Erin and Alex got some rib
sandwich. I had just eaten leftovers from Japantown, so I didn't get
anything. Although I rather wanted to try those beer battered fries.
