My folks came up last weekend for a quick visit... We had a fabulous time enjoying the amazing weather (short sleeves in SF!). Our visit was surrounded by great food and wine.
We made a delicious meal on Saturday night, many of the ingredients we got at the Farmer's Market that afternoon: mixed baby greens (the most perfect crisp greens from the farmer's market) with mustard vinaigrette, sauteed
bok choy rabbe (so delicious , not at all like
bok choy),
Campagne bread (from one our favorite bakeries-
Della Fattoria in
Petaluma), true cod with mustard creme
fraiche sauce and a potato
galette. Yum!
On Sunday night, we went to this great pizzeria called
Gialina http://www.gialina.com/. Probably the BEST pizza I have ever eaten. We shared 2 starters -
Mariquita Farms Roasted Beets w/
dolce gorgonzola, hazelnuts & arugula , Saba Glazed
Niman Ranch Pork Belly w/ "angry" beet greens w/ currants and our pizzas were: Fennel w/ red onions, olives, capers, pesto, ricotta &
peppercress, Lamb Sausage
Agrodolce w/ Spring onions, mozzarella, mint & yogurt and Wild Nettles w/
pancetts,
portobella mushrooms & provolone. Of course I stayed away from the meat options and they were even able to make the nettle pizza with half
pancetta.
We were not so great at taking pictures, though!

It was the most perfect day for a picnic. Alli and Brandon picked up delicious
paninis from a market in
Bernal Heights called
Avedano's http://www.avedanos.com/
Here is Grace earlier in the week sitting up by herself for the FIRST time!
