Our Christmas

December 29, 2011

I had the pleasure of visiting one of the world’s most famous restaurants last Thursday with Foodbuzz roomie Mara of What’s for Dinner? I have to thank Mara for making the restaurant suggestion when we were deciding where to go for our splurge meal of the trip to San Francisco, CA. Chez Panisse was co-founded [...]

We have about 2 1/2 hours left in our flight, and I’m really looking forward to seeing hubby and Bailey.
