then We went to a pool on Wednesday 45 minutes N of sf, and on the drive home we had to stop at Shake Shack and I was happy to stop there while not ordering anything. I just didn’t need it. :-)
The Bay Area is like a second home to me! One end of my family has been there for decades. I make the 15 hour journey over from Australia at least once a year. If I actually lived there, I wouldn't be able to resist going out for Japanese and Mexican food every week. Within hours of landing at SFO in mid January, I was enjoying some Ramen Nagi at Valley Fair...
You would also frequently find me about 1 mile south of Shake Shack, at State Bird Provisions
But maybe that is just the "old me" talking - I agree, nowadays I derive so much more joy from creating things in my own kitchen!

All this chat about Shake Shack has got me craving their cheese fries. Otherwise, I could also do with a bagel loaded with birthday cake cream cheese from Tompkins Square Bagels!
