Goods from England

Don't know about you but I am a dunker.  I love to dunk my donuts, dunk my cake, dunk my biscuits.  You're born a dunker or not.  Dunkers are always looking for the perfect tea biscuit.  I want something not too sweet but not too plain.  Most importantly, it has to be hearty enough to survive the dunk.  I am always on the search - supermarket aisles, cost plus, trader joes - but to no avail.  Until my dear friend from Cambridge brought these for me:

Leave it to the English to come up with the perfect, dunkable tea biscuit.  Indeed, these are simple but effective.

I'm down to twelve biscuits...

March So Far

Liz has opened my eyes to the beauty of succulents.  Plus, it's really difficult to kill these plants.

Thanks to Cesar Chavez, I had a day off.  The best part...the kids were in school.  It was a great opportunity to take Liz out for her birthday.  She knows downtown inside out.  First stop, the CoffeeBar.  I could have lingered here for a few hours.  The Colombia Pourover was deep and nutty.  Really nice

Cool blue tiles on the back wall.

Coffee served on these cute tin pie pans.

Happily caffeinated!

The real reason for our excursion to downtown was to try the "Trust Me" at Sugarfish.  

Tuna Sashimi

Albacore

Salmon

Yellow Tail and Halibut

Toro Hand Roll

It was simply delicious.  Completely unadulterated, pure.  The meal made me doubt my prior sushi experiences.  The nori, I mean, what can usually be said of nori? This nori was just a-mazing.  I would have been happy to get a bowl of their warm seasoned rice, a drizzle of ponzu and a stack of nori.
