My mom and aunt are in town, and we took them for Ethiopian last night. My aunt always enjoys the opportunity to speak Amharic (and satisfy a craving for Ethiopian food), and it was a delicious dinner. The restaurant (Demera for those Chicagoans) was jam packed -- so nice to see that it was busy!

Great restaurant, and I too am so happy to see busy restaurants again.

We got it take out a couple times during the pandemic, but far better at the restaurant!

It’s raining and blowing at the beach. My daughter and her family will arrive in another hour or so. They are currently pulled over by the side of the road waiting for one of Claudette’s rain bands to pass. No one will feel like cooking tonight. I will probably flip a coin with my son in law to see who goes out to pickup Chinese.

Fried chicken supper at Delfina Burlingame tonight for our family. Exciting!

wouldn’t it be fun to fetch it together? I believe an Omni thread refers to this as an “errand hang” event :-)
in San Francisco, it’s almost essential to have 2 people fetching Carryout - just like with any crime, it’s good to have the getaway driver!

We were at our favorite butcher today (Paulina for the Chicagoans) and decided to splurge on an American (Snake River) wagyu strip steak. We'll probably have fries and a salad to go with it.

so awesome! How will you make the fries?
I eagerly await a report of how you cook this.
I do get tempted by Costco’s “Wagyu” short ribs.

The last of Thursday's steak goes into a salad with cave aged Roquefort, candied walnuts and fresh basil dressing.

I was wrong, the wagyu is for another night. As for the fries, I will follow the directions on the back of the bag.
