Poor Pei.
She can't find her universal card reader. She can't load photos from her cameras to her computer. She has no pictures to share with the world. Cry, cry.
Meanwhile, she has been eating:
-the best menudo in the world
-at a farmers' market potluck
-raw milk
-lots of wine
-seared salmon over lettuce at home
-home made oden (Japanese hot pot)
-and more!

oooo raw milk. watch out for listeria, salmonella, campylobacter and yersinia.

Also watch out for:
-delicious and healthy live enzymes
-better digestability (most lactose intolerant people can digest raw milk)
-ability to make kefir yogurt
-better taste
-well treated healthy cows that only eat grass. With names!
Come back...we miss you!
Btw...was it whole milk, or the skimmed raw milk, which I've been meaning to try?
I have actually never tried the skim, but the whole is delicious. I had also never seen the raw milk people at a farmers' market, but if you can find them it's half the price it is at Whole Foods, which makes it only slightly more expensive than the big name organic farms (Clover, Horizon) and about the same as a small local farm (Straus). The farmers' market stands also tend to have more variety of products: cheddar, butter, cream, two kinds of milk, and colostrum! Colostrum tastes like milk, but not. I can't describe it.
yay! she's alive! you can still write about the food w/o the pics..not as good but we miss hearing from you.
Hmmm...colostrum...I've been staring at that at Whole Foods also, but the strange color and separation makes me a bit queezy...Maybe I should get over that.
I want to try raw milk! But if I die, it's your fault!
I'll say this now: people who think goat and sheep's milk cheeses are gross (why am I friends with you?) will probably not like raw milk. Raw milk has a pungent, ever so slightly goaty smell to it than processed milk.
The colostrum was separating at Whole Foods? Stay away. The stuff at the farmers' market looked pretty well blended. Colostrum is just weird. If I tasted it without knowing what it was I probably would have thought it was some kind of fake milk/formula product. Its dietary merits haven't been strongly proven enough for me to be willing to steal food from baby cows.
i made dinner reservations on saturday for fresca! :D i didn't find a review for it but it made your list of top sf restaurants so i knew it had to be good. do they have flan? i don't see it on their dessert menu on the website.
i wanted to make reservations for delfina (only because of the panna cotta picture you had posted) but the only one available they had was 10:30. xP
what a ridiculously long message. see how much we miss you already! :(
Technically, drinking any milk or milk products is stealing food from baby cows. But I guess colostrum is worse as it has a bunch of antibodies and things the baby cows need to help fight off infections, especially in their GI tracts. Then again, I don't know how susceptible to infection baby cow GI tracts are. Baby human GI tracts are pretty open to infection. On the other hand, we only have 1 stomach. Maybe I shouldn't extrapolate bovine infectious disease processes from human ones. Any cow experts out there want to weigh in on the topic?

Aren't most dairy cows forced to produce milk long after their babies don't need it? I don't count that as stealing (I know, splitting hairs). But the colostrum stops after the first few days, so there's a very limited supply.
Fresca: I don't know if there's flan, but order the calamari! The whole trout is also good. Basically, stick to seafood. Fresca also tends to be a much better bargain for lunch than dinner (the steak salad is deeeelish), but both are good.
Delfina kicks Fresca's butt, so do try to go there some time! And if you go early, stop by Tartine next door and buy some treats to take home. It's easily the best bakery in SF.
Poor baby cows...right.
So, I like pungent cheeses but I can't get behind drinking something that's pungent.
Speaking of pungent, I was walking around the neighborhood the other day and thought I smelled stinky tofu. Then I realized I was walking by a smelly alley. It was disconcerting. I was hungry and grossed out at the same time.
