A Little Box of Treats

Gentle Friends, I've had quite a few emails about what the second half of my 10th Anniversary Gift-a-way was.... well here's that post a bit on the late side but better late than never.....  I had in mind sending some things from the City that I felt would be well-received nd that meant something to me and things I did around town .... so after settling on what I was going to get we headed out to breakfast at the Red Cafe.  A favorite eatery of ours that I talked about before... It's in the Mission district and I usually get chilaquiles...

... I've had these at lots of places but at the Red Cafe, their version included some fresh green pepper and onion.... one of my very favorite breakfasts!!  Rico on the other hand usually gets...

... eggs, bacon hash browns with flour tortillas.... and a Coke!!  So after breakfast, we headed across the street and up the block a bit to our very favorite bakery in the entire City.... Dianda's.... 

.... they make really super things... and here are some snaps....


... the cakes they make are top notch and in demand, so ordering in advance is imperative...  the cases that line the shop on both walls are usually chock-a-block full...


... and the pastries and really tasty also...  the ring looking things in the middle to the right are to die for, flaky and crunchy and they come in either almond or raspberry....delicious!!

... I picked up a box of assorted cookies here to include....  we also stopped off at Philz Coffee for some of their roasted beans.....

....  I also picked up an SF mug to round out the present - packed it all up and everything arrived at Donna's quickly for her to enjoy!!

That's about it for today sports fans.  It is a short week for me as I took off tomorrow and Friday and we have Monday off so it will be a long lazy weekend!!  Rico also took off the same days and we have a couple of things planned so you'll be seeing a post or two about our adventures next week.  Thanks again for stopping by do stop again!!

Take care,
edgar

A 10th Anniversary Gift-a-Way

Gentle Friends... well, it's been 10 years this month...May 9th of 2007 to be exact ...


...that I've been posting to this Blog.  I've posted about the good, the bad and even the ugly sometimes, but it's been entertaining I hope for the most part.  I was thinking over the weekend that to celebrate I should have a Gift-a-way thing and have the hag Claw pull a winner from the BoD (Bowl of Destiny)... I've not done one in so long I can't even remember when......

So, on Tuesday, May 9th, I'll have the Hag Claw work it's majic.  To enter the Gift-a-way all you need do is leave a comment on this Post Only - by 4:00 pm PST May 8th.  In the comment should be info with a way for me to contact you if your name is drawn.  If you're a No Reply comment type that's alright, but please make sure to leave an email address or some other contact information.  - I'll let the winner know on Wednesday, May 10th.

UPDATE... I settled on what I would like to do for my anniversary...
the 10th Anniversary GIft-a-way gift will be in two parts...the first part will be a 
$25 Gift certificate from 123 Stitch, 
and the 2nd part will be some Treats from San Francisco....
