What's A Weekend?

Black Sesame Soft Serve at UJI Time Dessert in Berkeley (Japanese Mochi & Soft Serve delicacies).

Lower right: my typical breakfast, whole grain cereal with fruit and nuts. In this case, it's steel-cut oats, rye, oat and wheat berries toasted in a dry hot pan then boiled until done; organic raw almond butter that I bought 6 months ago at Grocery Outlet that they priced at $1 each because the expiration date was near (I bought a dozen); and some organic blue & black berries that Robin brought back from Oregon; and finally, evidence that we're right in the middle of stonefruit season: peaches, Santa Rosa plums, pluots, black plums, red plums, nectarines; and also some fresh local figs.

Hydrangeas.


Leaves & stems.

Park by the Vallejo Marina. Windiest, and thus, coolest spot in the city, since the wind is coming from the bay & river.




More fruit: above, nectarines and honeydew; below, Robin slices a peach, with sunflower sprouts in the foreground.


A vintage Rambler I spotted behind Arts Benicia.


Turkey, spinach, tomato, cheddar and pesto (seriously intense pesto, made in-house) pannini at Zing Cafe in Berkeley, just north of the Ashby BART station. The drink is a GingerAde Agua Fresca, very strong on the ginger side. Gotta say, this pannini puts to shame the ones I used make in restaurants in Austin!
