Pretty lazy this weekend. With the disaster news, storm rolling through town and a headache – it was nice to stay inside and rest. Mellow Friday night. I swung by Rob’s office to walk with him home from work. Dinner of broccoli, green olive and pepita pasta, my current favorite. Up early on Saturday morning…

Whew…it’s been quite the 24-hours. I rushed home last night after a co-worker told me the apartment building next to ours had billowing black smoke pouring out. An hour and about 15 fire trucks later, they had put out a car fire in the garage and we all were saved. No real damage beyond the…

For our third edition of the San Francisco LAC, let’s get dolled up for some fanciest fun things to do in the city. 1. Chez Spencer – My personal favorite little French hideaway in the city. If you were throwing a courthouse wedding followed by a dinner in a private dining room, this would be…

On the sidewalks around Cafe Flore, there are koi fish swimming by. Street artist Jeremy Novy has spray painted the fish around the planters and wooden benches. The effect, especially on a rainy Sunday, is delightful.

Originally purchased in the 1950’s, it came over from Denmark with the person who grew…

This was a mellow weekend; a much needed break after a very busy week at work. Quiet night on Friday since we had to get up early the next day. I dropped Rob off for a camping trip with his friend Peter at 8 am. And swung back from Cole Valley to Russian Hill to…

I love these antique botanical prints of British grasses. Don’t they seem so fresh and modern for March? The prints are only $24 each online.

Olive bread from Acme toasted with some melted cheese and a giant salad with parsnips and pumpkin seeds. A cold glass of Guinness and some gourmet olives compliments the whole thing. I love this kind of simple meal.

All those garden explorations last weekend have me inspired for an outfit with a lot of green and a hint of plant biology. I would wear this to the office any day. Dress – Such a pretty green color. And I love the military-inspired rolled sleeves. Belt – In braided brown leather, this is a…

This was absolutely my favorite from the Muybridge exhibit at SFMOMA. The clean lines of the running greyhound made even more striking. Now I just need to find a version printed instead of as a digitally controlled file running in the hundreds.
