New Tartine Favorite

When C visits San Francisco, it's always good times. This time, the highlight of the weekend was unquestionably P's big raucous Indian wedding, a first for the both of us. Check our our headless selves in saris.

I know, not enough jewelry. There's never enough jewelry when an Indian wedding rolls around.

Another high point was visiting Tartine. It was crowded as all getout when we got there Friday around noon, but we wrested two seats at the communal table and enjoyed quiches and desserts. I had the bread pudding.

C had the lemon meringue cake, which turned out to be the winner. So gooey, so sweet, so lemony. My favorite lemon dessert at Tartine has always been the lemon tart, but I might have a new favorite.

And finally, one of the few good photos from our trip to the new Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park. It took me three tries to get into this very popular new museum, but going at 9:00 a.m. on a weekday turned out to be a great idea. There were plenty of people but it was not crowded, meaning we had a very enjoyable trip and got to see everything at a good pace. These are jellyfish in a display that really let them glow. The blue ones didn't really show up on film, but the entire tank was eerily mesmerizing. Go, jellyfish! I loved the Academy so much I got an annual pass, so if anyone wants to go let me know!

Very pretty sarees. I love that peacock blue. They look like they are tailored made for you guys...

They both belong to my friend int he photo. Lucky for me, C and I are about the same size on top so the blouse (the only part made to fit) was fine. The petticoat is one size fits all, and all sarees are a five foot long piece of fabric.

As long as you wrap it correctly, it should look like it's tailor made! We weren't great at dressing ourselves, but we made do enough to get a great photo.

I wish I could wear these all the time. They are comfortable and flattering on almost everyone, which I can't say for a lot of Western clothes or especially the Chinese chipao.

You two look great in the sarees.

I love how the Jelly Fish kept bouncing against each other. What did you think of the 3D bug show?
