This morning bonacorsi and I walked down to Dynamo Donut for a spiced chocolate doughnut. It was fabulous. The coffee, not so much. But there are other, better coffee joints nearby.
I'd be willing to try a bite of the chocolate anise doughnut because it intrigues me - I can't stand licorice or anise so I'm curious, but I'd want someone there to eat the rest of it while I rinse out the taste from my mouth.
That makes 24 of the 100 7x7 SF Fud list.
Now it's time to start making strawberry jam and curing pork belly. Separately.

Since I'm out of school for a couple months, I've hit that "I'm used to running at this energy level and it has to go somewhere" phase. Right now it's mostly going into cooking, so here's a bonus summer Resolution Recipe.

bonacorsi and I had a lovely dinner last night at Incanto. They're doing Sunday/Monday "cucina povera" prix fixe dinners - "poor cuisine", or rural Italian. We thought this would be a good excuse to have a relatively cheap restaurant dinner to celebrate my school halfway point, and her testing out of her Mac classes.
Dinner was three courses: Dandelion greens with anchovy & pangrattato (I may have to try this next time we get dandelion greens in our weekly box)
Mussels, potato & chili (on broiled bread, with a ton of yummy broth)
and a scheduled honey fritter, but perhaps due to the weather was changed to a faboo blueberry sorbetto.
The host was giving us a very small amount of grief for not having a reservation when we walked in. Pity he didn't see the executive chef spot us from the kitchen and wave a hello.
