A Food Focused Day

Tuesday, January 8, 2008

7:45-1:30 - Volunteered at the Sacramento Food Bank with some awesome people. Begin to crash slowly as was out the night before dancing until 3 am. Very fun helping people out who need it. Helps bring me back to reality where not everyone can enjoy food the way I do. Spilled expired yogurt into my gloves and made hands sticky and smell. So not cool.

1:45-3:00 - Had lunch at Bistro 33 in Sacramento. Pleased at the sammiches, even if they got my order wrong. Too tired to complain. May seek vengeance later, but doubtful as I am lazy.

3:30-3:50 - Went to Corti Bros. looked around with Ashley and Raul. Almost passed out in a display of Chardonnay. Realization my broke ass would be screwed after trying to pay for dozens of bottles of wine kept me awake.

3:50-4:00 - Got lost in Sacramento. Knew we should have turned right at Broadway.

4:00-4:10 - Accidentally found great Chinese butcher. Elise picks up 2 pounds of chicken feet for cooking. Or maybe witchcraft. I wasn't really paying attention. Sleepy sleepy sleepy.

4:10-4:15 - Fell asleep. Drooled on self. V. unflattering.

4:15-5:00 - Went to see Dennis and Mary. Had a delicious conversation along with a delicious grilled cheese sammich with home cured salmon and lemon confit. Dennis and Mary excellent people as always. Chatted over plots for a cream de' toasted almond (but say it in actual Italian). Was gifted with preserved lemons done far better than my own and a bottle of limoncello. Score. Heart Dennis so much.

6:30 - Got home. No remember anything. Too sleepy. Thighs hurt from dancing on a box in front of a lot of people after too many drinks. Brain hurt. Can't remember why my hand smells like gross milk. Sleep.

  7. American Poultry at 5th and Broadway is a great little chicken and duck supplier. Very unassuming location but fresh Petaluma products with all parts still attached.
