As promised, I am sharing with you my culinary pleasures from my san fran trip. For some reason, San Francisco has the most amazing experiences available to the simple traveller such as myself. The Ferry building promised and delivered on a fluffy italian donut stuffed with raspberry jam, artisan cheeses, fresh oysters and hand made chocolates. Tonight's dinner at Farralon, featuring "coastal cuisine" complete with giant jelly fish hanging from the ceiling was just amazing. We started with fresh bread and chunks of sweet creamery butter sprinkled generously with red salt crystals. The first course we indulged in caviar and creme fraiche on toast with copious amounts of the condiments: capers, red minced red onion, hard boiled egg and chives. Delicious. Next course was seared scallops and mussels. My main course was a beautifully seared Pike on a bed of black truffle polenta. Dessert was an apple turnover and caramel crunch ice cream that can only be tasted to be believed. I had a glorious time and now i need to go home and see my boys. I miss you!
