Sunset in the Outer Sunset

 This weekend was not too eventful, but that was fine with me.  On Friday, Z and I tried a new Indian restaurant in the Outer Sunset called Guddu de Karahi. Everything that we ordered was delicious, so we will definitely be back here again to try out different curries. You can never eat too much Indian food and I think  Z would agree with me on that. We usually never make it over to the Outer Sunset as often as we would like to, so there are just so many more restaurants and shops that I still have yet to visit. (Including Outerlands, the General Store, and Toyose to name a few.) I snapped a couple of photos while the sun was setting on our walk over to the restaurant.

The rest of the weekend (instead of studying for my Microbiology exam and lab practical coming up...ARGH! Why do I always do this to myself?) was spent watching marathons of Gilmore Girls, The Walking Dead, and Masters of Sex. on Netflix, and then taking photos of my spoiled pug, Finnegan. He is becoming such the model and knows what to do when I have my camera out. Smart pup! Hope you all had a nice weekend!   

Lobster Bash

After a long, tiring, and lonely week (Z was away at an academic conference in Michigan), the weekend was a nice needed break. I picked up Z from the airport on Saturday and we headed straight for the Santa Cruz harbor to meet up with his family for an annual Lobster Bash. What is a Lobster Bash and is it really just as violent as it sounds? Well, it is a group of friends coming together and cooking food, eating lobster, drinking, gossiping...nothing much to it. All I know is that there is just so much butter flowing that Paula Deen would be there in a second if she could. This year, the weather in Santa Cruz was amazing! It reached the 70's and there was no cloud lingering in the sky at all.  I forgot to take pictures of my outfit or actually just anything else at all because I was too excited for the beautiful ocean/beach background and the yummy lobster feast.

Down below is the huge lobster tail I received along with a nice Caesar salad, garlic bread, clams (not pictured), roasted potatoes, and endless butter. The surrounding harbor was so picturesque with sail boats, kayaks, and little motor boats zipping by while we sat on the beach. This was not my first time participating in the lobster bash. Z and I went a couple years ago. You can see some of the photos I took here.

After the Lobster Bash, Z and I headed back home to San Francisco. Z was pretty tired from going straight from the airport to the Lobster Bash so we had a nice lazy Sunday back in the city. For dinner, perhaps in honor of the last episode of Break Bad, we decided to eat at El Pollo Supremo located in the Outer Mission. It was delicious and cheap--which means that Z and I will definitely be back for future meals. After picking up dinner, we came home to a lazy pug lounging about on the couch. He woke up briefly to play with his new favorite toy (a plush soccer ball) and to eat, but that was the extent of his activity for the day. Oh man...what a life!

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! What did you guys do? I'm hoping this work week will go by quickly! Pugs and Kisses, Sam. 

Instagram Diary

I'm back in cold San Francisco after a nice weekend (too short!) with my family down in Ventura. I think I practically spent the entire weekend eating since most of my Instagram photos are of food dishes, before going out to eat food, or being in a food coma afterwards. I can't wait to see everyone again in a couple of weeks for Christmas! My family from Seattle and Virginia will be in town for my cousin and his wife;s new baby girl since he is having her baptism right before 2013 starts. Below are some photos of pugs, pekepoos, pho, Korean BBQ, butter waffles, driving back to the bay area, and lovely sister sister time. Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving as well!

Remember September

 
Happy Birthday to Z and I! We were both born on the same day! WEIRD! It makes bouncers at bars think that I have a fake ID since the odds of two people dating having the same exact birthday are pretty slim! Cheers!  I wish I could celebrate tonight, but I must get back to studying for my exam tomorrow. I want to make this exam my bitch, then I will party party like an underage gal getting free shots at the bar for her birthday. BROOO! I can't wait until this weekend, when the real celebration begins. Wish me luck!

Z and I decided to explore the other side of the bay bridge a couple of weekends ago while the weather was warm and sunny. I had never seen the UC Berkeley campus before, so I asked Z to be my tour guide to show me the sights of this cute little college area. We walked through the campus and right away the early 20th century architecture of the buildings took my breath away. I wish I had the chance as an undergrad to attend a lecture in one of these beautifully constructed halls. There were so many squirrels scurrying around...one even decided to photo bomb the photo I took of Z! After wandering around campus for a while, we went to MARS vintage and I found the cutest 60's shift dress with a white peter pan collar and ruffle detail. I promise to take pictures of the dress soon after I alter the hem! After vintage shopping for me, we went to Amoeba records and spent the remaining afternoon perusing records and trying to decide what we wanted to add to our vinyl collection. Coffee, vinyl, and vintage...kind of cliché but definitely a nice way to end the weekend.
