I will be the pattern of all patience; I will say nothing.

I didn’t have tang yuen this solstice. That’s on the backlog for now, until I get my own kitchen. In fact, until we get our own place, I’m stuck without a place to cook, hang out, blast my music, use my essential oil, laze in bed, and feel at home in general. Yes its uncomfortable, living out of a suitcase for half a year, but in the grand scheme of things, it’s not the worst out there.

I could be living out of a suitcase for 2 years.

So on weekends we try to spend some time hanging out on our own. Today we wandered over to North Beach after work, and found Franchino between a very crowded Stinking Rose and a suspiciously boring Mona Lisa. We looked at the menu, and decided to give it a try. It was deceptively uncrowded, but the food was pretty darn good. I had a capellini mare and KF had a tortellini. My capellini was fantastic, nice chunks of large prawn, chicken and mushroom in a garlic tomato sauce. Very satisfying.

After dinner we drove around and ended up at Fisherman’s Wharf. We did the touristy thing and walked around, made sure to check out the crabs that were back at the stands at the wharf after the Cosco Busan fiasco. Crabs were out in full force, like the tourists. It was cold too. Temperatures tonight were about 9°C. Good thing I got myself a new jacket.

Anyway. Happy Christmas and peaceful Christmas.
