I was going to post about a SF bike ride, but I haven’t been able to get the lunch we had on that ride out of my mind. Seriously, I’ve been figuring out how to get back there since last Thursday. The fried chicken breast sandwich from Sessions at the Presidio looks like any fried chicken sandwich, but the Fresno chili sauce, coleslaw and pickles add a whole other dimension 😋 And don’t get me started on the fries with aioli sauce... my goodness!! It didn’t hurt that we sat on a bench in front of the restaurant on the beautiful Lucasfilm campus with a great view (don’t forget to find the yoda statue!). #sessionsatthepresidio #sanfranciscofood#bestfriedchickensandwich #lucasfilmcampus #yodastatue #yodafountain

Please help yourself to a donut 😊 Donuts are my kryptonite, what’s yours??

Filoli Garden Inspiration. Their formal garden is showcasing how edible plants can be used decoratively and artistically to create a beautiful display. My favorite flowers, hydrangeas, are blooming, the rose garden is so colorful, many cut flower ideas, the trees in the orchard are brimming with fruit... just so much to see! #filoligardens#filoligarden#formalgardens

I grew and tasted ground cherries for the first time...and I have to say that I love them!! ❤️ The ones in the pics are the pineapple ground cherries (I bought the seeds from Botanical Interest). They are so easy to grow and fun to harvest. Basically, they are ready to eat when they fall to the ground! They are in the tomatillo family so they have the same outer covering and similar looking fruit in the middle. However, they are sweet (not overly) with a hint of pineapple flavor. Nature’s candy!

One of my favorite ways to explore San Francisco was on a weekday bike ride on a perfect sunny day, following my college buddy who is the best SF tour guide ever. I’ll be honest an electric bike made it that much more enjoyable 😂 We started in the Sea Cliff area, headed to the Legion of Honor for a brief look around, then to Ocean Beach passing through Sutro Heights Park to see the view and ruins. We made a quick stop by the Cliff House (behind it there is a viewing platform) to get some pics of the ocean as well as the Giant Camera. Then it was smooth sailing on the Great Highway which is closed to cars right now. Picked up sandwiches and wine at Palm City Wines, the garlic roast pork hoagies are absolutely amazing!! A leisurely lunch on Ocean Beach is a must with a lunch like that. Then a ride through Golden Gate Park staying on the roads that are closed to cars right now before heading back to where we started (Lake Street is currently closed to cars right now as well). I had to experience it to believe it, but riding a bike (an electric bike!) in San Francisco was a very fun way to see the city! #bikeride #bikeridesanfrancisco #palmcitywines #giantcamera

Happy National Selfie Day!! 😂 It gave me a legitimate reason to post a selfie with my daughter (At least that’s what I’m telling her!!) More importantly though, it’s National Chocolate Eclair Day tomorrow!!

Heading to the coast to cool off during the heat wave. Dinner at Ketch Joanne Restaurant and Harbor Bar - delicious seafood (especially the clam chowder bowl, fish and chips, and crab sandwich). Strolled Dunes Beach, one of the beaches of Half Moon Bay State Beach. #ketchjoannerestaurant #dunesbeach #halfmoonbay #halfmoonbaystatebeach

Beautiful morning hike on the Lands End Trail in San Francisco. Amazing views that almost make you forget about the great workout you’re getting! Almost 😂. #hikes #sfhikes

My garden... aka My Happy Place 😊 It’s an experimental year, trying out 15 varieties of tomatoes and various growing methods. Also trying out varieties of cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, tomatillos, squashes, corn, beans, melon, watermelon, asparagus, strawberries, and so on... Learning so much, but so much more to learn 😊 So much information out there, thank you to all the people who share about their gardens!! #gardens #gardenveggies #growingtomatoes
