Food, food, and more food...
You may have noticed that I haven't been around all week. Matt and I headed to San Fransisco for a long weekend to attend my cousin Timmy's wedding. We were lucky enough to be able to stay with our fabulous friends, Sean and Shira. Their hospitality was much appreciated. We spent time in the city, went to a Giants game at AT&T field, went to the beautiful and fun wedding, then went up Mount Diablo in VERY HOT weather. All in all, it was a great time. We got to see lots of friends besides our lovely hosts and lots of family members.
We were in San Fransisco for more than a day when I realized that most of my pictures were of food. When Matt pointed it out to me, I thought, "Yeah? What's wrong with that?!" We started with lunch at Boudin in Fisherman's Wharf. None of us spoke during lunch. We were too busy enjoying our sourdough lunches! Before we even ordered our sandwhiches, I was oogling the bread animals on display.
How cute are these guys!?
Next came our fantastic meals. Matt and our friends, Sean and Shira, ordered the clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl. I took a simpler approach and ordered a grilled cheese. It was the most delicious and satisfying grilled cheese I have ever eaten. I'm assuming that the murmuring and grunting coming from everyone else meant that they enjoyed their clam chowder.
Best. Lunch. Ever.
Then we headed over to Ghirardelli Square and checked out Kara's Cupcakes.
Sean and I were the only ones to indulge as he shares my affinity for all things cupcake. Each of us struggled to decide which one we wanted to try, so we decided to order three and split them.
(Left to Right) Peanut Butter Milk Chocolate Ganache, Java and Key Lime Pie.
Seeing as I am usually devoted to Chocolate, I assumed I'd have to choose between the Peanut Butter and the Java. Turns out, Sean and I both agreed that the Key Lime Pie was our favorite. It was light and refreshing with a graham cracker crust. YUM!!!
Can you see that delicious key lime center?
Finally, we had a great time at Tim and Meghan's wedding. They are a super fun couple who have a lot of style while knowing how to have a good time. This could not have been more evident than in their favors and cake!
Gum Ball machines as favors. So cute!
The design of their cake matched their invitations, which were designed by the bride.
How cute are the twinkie bride and groom!? Meghan and Tim really know how to have style but throw in a little whimsy at the same time.
Overall, it was a great weekend, although way too short! Congratulations, Tim & Meghan, and thanks for the hospitality, Sean & Shira!
