Weekends

A giant storm passed through town this weekend but didn’t dampen our busy schedules too much. On Friday night, Rob and I braved the pouring rain for the member’s reception opening the the new fall exhibits at SFMOMA.

Long weekend! We kicked it off with Rob’s last day at his old job. I met up with the celebration after work on Pier 23, had a quick drink and then grabbed a pedicab home to meet up with Rob’s parents. Tea and catching up before bed. On Saturday, we had breakfast together. Rob went…

What a weekend! A heat wave, a fantastic opera, an a couple days of playing tourist in the city. First, Rob and I went to our first opera of the new season. Such a fantastic evening! I’ll tell you more about the show in a seperate post. The next morning, Rob had to leave for…

Fall kicked off this weekend with a lot of visiting friends and some strange, rainy weather. On Friday, I met with Jackie and Margaret at the apartment to make three kinds of empanadas: cheese with chilis, shredded chiken with green olives and chorizo with potato. We were filling and dough-making machines…but it still took forever.…
