And then it was time to taste…

I actually didn’t take too many pictures at the tasting pavilion because I was busy, well, tasting!  Here are the ones I do have, supplemented with ones borrowed from my roommates Danica, Holly, Susan, and Janetha. Before heading into the tasting, Kyle and my sister joined up with me (I’m not the only foodie in my family).  :)  So stripe-y.  We took some photos in the sunshine…and then the clock struck one and it was time to go.  Waiting for the event to start reminded me of being in a corral before a running race. … Read more >

The second day…

…of the Foodbuzz Festival started off with gorgeous San Francisco weather.  And yet, I still lacked the motivation to join my roomies for a 6 AM jog through the neighborhood.  I’ve lived in SF before and I’ve run a half marathon in the city as well, so I am all too aware of the brutal hill situation.  I didn’t exactly sleep in either, though.  After Susan and Janetha returned from their run, the rest of our posse hit the road for the one and only, Tartine Bakery. Let’s get something straight from the get-go, this… Read more >

Let’s get our food on – day 1

This weekend was the 2nd Annual Foodbuzz Festival in San Francisco and since I’m now living on the West Coast again, I was determined to attend.  After a fairly miserable (and thus undocumented) trip from LA to SF, I finally made it to the Bay Area.  Being a super nerdy multi-tasking couple, Kyle and I decided to combine the Foodbuzz weekend with a networking trip for him so we took an alternate route up the state.  It involved more cows and fewer people people with all their teeth…and that’s all I’ll say about that. Ok… Read more >

All the buzz

It’s weird how you can meet people after reading about their lives on a semi-daily basis, and feel like you’re long lost friends… That’s the thing about this blogging community. Food is what we all have in common… But long after our yummy bites have digested, our friendships are what remain. And that’s a beautiful thing.  So is food  🙂 Stay tuned for a more detailed weekend recap.  I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had.  Most. Amazing. Roommates. Ever.

Flashback Friday: Hawaiian honeymoon day 3

After a few days of exercise-free vacationing, Kyle and I were both ready to get our fitness-faces on.  So our third day in Hawaii started with an hour long total body conditioning class offered by the Anara Gym & Spa.  It was hard and left us both sore and sweaty – in a good way.  :)  After that we had brunch by the pool.  I got the same tofu salad from the first day (no photo), and Kyle got a cheesy grilled chicken burger.  I don’t have many blog-able pics from the rest of the… Read more >
