Smuggler's Cove

Some sort of Pineapple Rum Cocktail at the pirate themed bar, Smuggler's Cove. Too sweet but pretty orchid.

Chobani

I've tried nearly every brand of Greek yogurts available in the US and remain partial to Chobani. I've been a longtime fan of Chobani and have been a covert ambassador for the company. I've received a giant box of samples a few years ago and also convinced my college to sell Chobani in its mini market, although I was probably the one buying all of it. I received another shipment of Chobani by winning a game of "Spoons" that the company used to host on Twitter. I also spoke with HR when I was in college about a potential internship at the company. I was ecstatic when I found Chobani at grocery stores in Australia and was completely envious when they launched their yogurt bar, Chobani SoHo, in New York. I hope they make their way to San Francisco next.

Last Friday, I received a 20 pound freeze-packed box of Chobani yogurt after correspondence with the company's community coordinator. Chobani sent me a variety of flavors, some I've tried and some I haven't. So happy!

Pancake Crazy

I woke up really early to move my Vespa before street cleaning at 6AM and couldn't fall back asleep. So instead I kind of went overboard and made a giant stack of pancakes. I wanted to use up the remaining Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix that's been sitting in my pantry for far too long. It's all part of my Operation Pantry Clean-Up. There's a lot of pancakes in my future, which I have no problem with.

Cook

Hard work.

Vespa

Rather an impulsive purchase. Although ever since studying abroad in Italy and seeing Vespas all over the streets, I told myself I'd have one too someday. Why not?

Toast Eatery

Despite all the fancy pansy dining options in San Francisco, more often than not, I'm happy with low-key dining. I've lost count the number of times I've eaten breakfast, brunch, and my favorite "Breakfast for Dinner" at Toast Eatery in Nob Hill and Noe Valley. Toast Eatery is my go-to spot and the cute cartoon toasts decor on the walls don't hurt either. A few of the pictures are also from Jason's Cafe in Menlo Park, which makes better pancakes than Toast.

Benkyodo

Still partial to red bean filling.
