biscuits for my brother

My brother and I went to Off the Grid again in upper haight. I was looking forward all week to this and I hope our budget will let us make this a tradition!
My brother tried a vegetarian curry burrito and I tried a pork sisig plate: a scoop of rice, pork with jalapenos and onions, a pickled radish of some sort and a fried egg on top! I miss filipino food from home so this was comfort food on a misty evening. 

My brother ended up staying over so I made him breakfast!
I followed Julia Child's recipe for scrambled eggs which is made delicious because of the butter and cream :)
and I made homemade biscuits. I had to find a super easy and one without a ton of ingredients because my kitchen is looking a little sparse. I found this one from allrecipes.com


















Hubby is in town this weekend and we are going see some plays, listen to music and go to the book signing at Omnivore with Alice Waters!



Happy Friday!

off the grid-food truck night

I was looking forward to this all week! Off the Grid SF in the upper haight. I met my brother there and we circled the whole thing at least three times because we couldn't decide what to order. Every food truck offers something different and wonderful.
I finally decided on a vietnamese sandwich (really good, huge, the bread was a little too crunchy for me and my braces but still worth it). My brother ordered an amazing Brie sandwich with homemade fries. We shared a homemade twinky  for dessert. I want to try some filipino dishes next time.
 Food coma for sure.











Ok! Off to work on a paper. I've been so nervous to write the two page essay because I haven't written anything for school in over five years. Sometimes it's hard to be a late bloomer:)
