"I was so lucky to enjoy that stunning weather for my birthday festivities on Saturday-I was in the East Bay, and the timing aligned beautifully for me to pick up a guava chiffon cake and other tasty goodies (OMG the best banana pudding) from Honey & Pearl bakeshop's new commissary kitchen in Emeryville. (I'll be writing more about them real soon, but if you're already sold, here's their website for preorders!)"
"It was so fun to be able to just post up at a bar and have friends swing by after their wine dinners and Halloween parties. It may have been the first time there was Champagne served in an ice bucket on the patio at the Eagle, I cracked up. It ends up it was also Jeff the manager's birthday (he's the one behind the over-the-top Halloween décor they put up-leave it to a Scorpio!). Thank you, Darwin and Marc for co-hosting!"
"Sunday brought more bubbles with sis and friends, and then dinner at home with the fam in San Mateo (I requested my Dad's smoked chicken, and my Mom made me a delicious carrot cake-we also got spoiled with decadent porcini mushrooms that my Dad's friends foraged, heaven!). Cheers 🥂 to all my dear friends and family and disco pals and you fab readers for making this birthday so sweet after a rough-ass couple of months. Thank you."
A NorCal weekend provided stunning fall weather and birthday festivities across East Bay and San Francisco. The celebration began in Emeryville with bakery purchases from Honey & Pearl's new commissary, including guava chiffon cake and banana pudding. Friends gathered to enjoy cake and an insalata caprese with mortadella. An impromptu patio gathering at the SF Eagle doubled as a fundraiser for injured DJ Bus Station John and featured Champagne in an ice bucket and co-hosts Darwin and Marc. Family dinner in San Mateo included smoked chicken, carrot cake, and foraged porcini mushrooms. Plans include attending SF First Thursday Art Walk and buying a Leaven Worth loaf.
