Love it! And this image of the Cliff House? Mwah!
Back in 1900, before you had apps to tell you it was 'cloudy,' people just looked at me and accepted their fate. I’ve been ruining picnics and dampening sourdough since before the Gold Rush. I’m the only legacy resident this city hasn't managed to gentrify. #TBT #KarlTheFog

San Marzano tomatoes are the gold standard for a reason. We tasted six brands of San Marzano and San Marzano–style tomatoes to find which cans deliver the best flavor, texture, and versatility. foodandwine.com/san-marzano-…

I can barely feel the chill. I can barely hear the sounds. Sweet dreams.

Not my photo ...but my dinner tonight. Home made minestrone and sourdough. It was a cloudy day all day here and I loved it.

Remembering Loma Prieta. Amazing how quickly this has slipped away.

Not going to expound on. Just going to say that a bee warned me for more than two hours. I saw it, heard it and ignored it. Then Loma Prieta hit. The load bearing walls shifted, ceiling fans came down, but the chowder was perfect. Still we were only in Redwood City.
