Today's Forecast: Liquid Sunshine

Jennifer Ronda

Raindrops keep falling on my head...It's raining cats and dogs!...Raindrops on roses...Purple rain, purple rain...Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory...Red rain is coming down, red rain....Rain, rain, go away...In the cold November rain...

When you think about it, there are a lot of sayings and songs that talk about rain. Which to me is a bit odd since most people seem to despise the rainy weather, don't like to talk about it, and want it to stop and go away. But not me. I like the rain. I welcome it. Especially when I think about how the rain often times translates to snow in the mountains! To me, the rain is Mother Nature's way of giving the earth a good cleansing. An opportunity to don my rain boots and wash away all the dust on them. A rinse-cycle for the sidewalks. Liquid therapy for all the plants and flowers that greet me on my walks. So for me, I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a glorious feelin', I'm happy again!

 

Supperbowl Sunday XLVII

Jennifer Ronda

Since our hometown team is playing in today's SuperBowl, we decided a standard menu of chicken wings, potato chips and store-bought dips just wouldn't do. Instead, we opted to test out a few new appetizer recipes to mark this occasion and what will hopefully be a win in our Quest for Six (don't worry Steelers, you're still #1 in our hearts!). The recipes come courtesty of Caroline Fey and Meghan Ellis at the City Kitchen, which never disappoints with their menus and culinary creations. 

Our "Supperbowl" menu covers as much of the culinary field as we're hoping Colin Kaepernick will do in today's game: one healthy hummus spread, a spicy tapas dish, and a hearty sausage dip.

Go 49er's! 

Little Spanish Meatballs with Shaved Manchego Cheese & Grilled Bread: The spiced aroma coming off this dish is incredible -- cinnamon, nutmeg, smoked paprika and cumin.

Meyer Lemon Hummus with Carmelized Shallots and Homemade Pita Chips: The shallots and lemon juice add a special twist to this dip.

 

Warm Sausage Dip with Fire Roasted Tomatoes & Mascarpone Cheese: Sausage and cheese...'nuff said.

 

 And the full spread:

 

 

Weekend Warriors: Fantabulous Weather in San Francisco

Jennifer Ronda

It doesn't happen too often, so when the thermometer in San Francisco hits 70+, it's time to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather! 

What better way to spend the day than with friends at Zeitgeist? With their incredible beer selection (I mean Zeitgeist, not my friends), like Stone Pale Ale and the amazing outdoor "beir garten", this is a great way to soak up the sun and SF atmosphere. We were surrounded by bikers, hipsters, and drunken Brazilians, but everyone had me pegged as the Pac Heights' Urbanite when I whipped out my iPhone to do my obligatory FaceBook posting. Apparently, they forbid folks from taking pictures here; we were reprimanded by one of the bar keeps when I asked a fellow "beir-gartener" to take our group photo. I guess like Vegas, what happens at Zeitgeist, stays at Zeitgeist!
