Real talk – how badly did we all need this three-day weekend doh? Memorial Day weekend, while full of picnics and being outside-ness, is always one of those times in which since it’s the first holiday we have in three months, our minds and bodies are itching for an extra day of relaxation. While people were out and about on their weekend getaways, I had a staycation to recalibrate and have some me-time to take charge of what makes me happy – mainly brunch, ice cream, and recipe-testing.
With my first catering gig today (!) and a new apartment shift in 5 days (Haight Street, here I come), this extra day off was need to help prep for upcoming changes and the second half of 2k14!
AND – there will be some new granola flavors coming out soon, so don’t forget to grab yourself a bag ☺
How did you spend the three-day weekend?
Usual weekly breakfast at Blue Bottle
Parfait from Frog Hollow – also a breakfast favorite
Taco adventures at San Jalisco in the Mission – the fish taco wasn’t great, the veggie one was passable. Overall way too much sour cream.
SF staple Mission Chinese! Their egg-egg noodles are outta control, and you can’t get it as takeout, so looks like I’ll be here forever.
Fresh haul from the farmer’s market!
Had to take a little break from being healthy to drink a liter of beer and then probably a pound of cheese and butter from this spatzle from Suppenkuche. Worth it.
Chocolate chip crepes from Herbivore
Monday night meals – Arugula, celery, ricotta, white beans, and veggie sausage in a lemon vinaigrette
Recipe testing – banana bread muffins with cheesecake topping!
We had a long weekend too here in London. They call it bank holidays 🙁 not sure why. I haven’t dome much, except catching up with friends. Your weekly breakfast is similar to mine 🙂
Sometimes, a long relaxing weekend is just what we need. No wonder our London office was also closed on Monday then 🙂
i was in Austin on Sunday for a day – i need to go there soon again. congrats on moving!!!
Moving is SUCH a pain, but it’s always worth it in the end!
