La Mar, Ghirardelli, and a Rainy Weekend

A trip to SF by some friends in LA gave us an excuse to head to La Mar this weekend. Actually, we spent Saturday restaurant hopping and strolling the city. Here's part of our day, captured in photos.

Pisco sour, of course! Can't go to La Mar and not have one of these lime-licious treats.

Ceviche classico, the most traditional type of ceviche with halibut, hominy, yams, red onions, and a dangerous slice of habanero perched on top.

Ceviche nikkei (Japanese style ceviche) with avocado slices, sesame sees, nori, and a soy sauce base.

After sharing that very small pre-lunch snack, the four of us strolled Fisherman's Wharf and had chowder bowls for lunch--I know, I know, chowder bowls! But you have to give the tourists what they want. Personally, I find these dingies a lot more interesting than chowder bowls. They are so cute, and painted so whimsically.

After lunch, we took another stroll over to another tourist destination for a Ghirardelli sundae.

It's crazy to think that was just two days ago, because today we're cooped up inside safe and sound from one of the worst storms to hit the Bay Area in years. I stave off boredom I've started another knitting project--you'll have to see what it ends up being later!
