San Francisco Fog
The fog was so beautiful this morning looking from the office window. Love how the buildings peak out above the low clouds. It's foggy in Wisconsin now too, but not nearly as beautiful.
Currently Obsessing: Taco de Lengua - Tacubaya
OMG, every weekend for weeks (I say weekend because I travel during the week, but sometimes even more than 1x a week) when I've been in town, I've gone to Tacubaya on 4th St. in Berkeley... ordering up a couple of tacos de lengua. Yes, beef tongue tacos.
Tongue is not necessarily one of my favorite beef cuts - texture can be a little weird - but here it works in the taco's favor... super moist and tasty chunks, with a green tomatillo salsa, and covered in onions and cilantro. Plus a little squeeze of lime. It's like going to taco heaven for me. Ok, upscale taco heaven. Yum.
Pizzaiolo
On our anniversary this year we had dinner @ Pizzaiolo in Oakland - our first visit after I heard lots about them. We actually really like that neighborhood, which also has the great yarn store Article Pract, Dona Tomas, etc. I've been teasing Gus that we should have bought a house over in Oakland since so many of our favorites seem to be over there (e.g., Camino, Dona, adesso, Wood Tavern).
And Pizzaiolo did not disappoint - serving up the kind of daily menu and fresh ingredients we love. We will go again soon. Just look at the crust on that pizza. And I loved the tagliatelle with the pork ragu. That may have been my favorite. And did I mention the avocado toasts with pancetta? Did I show you a photo? We will be back. Soon.
