Saturday I got up early and walked the dogs. We headed off for grocery shopping and then after lunch we drove out to Sloat Garden center and Mr. Poe went shopping while I walked home with Rufus. I hadn’t taken him in a very long walk for some time and he’s pretty out of shape. But that didn’t stop us. First we headed over to Pine Lake which I hadn’t been to in years. Pretty:
Then we walked around Stern Grove which seems so in the middle of nowhere for a place you can take a Muni train to:
Rufus was already looking a little worn out:
These are some of the pretty homes on Sloat and Portal:
This fabulous bank on Portal has wonderful art incorporated into it:
I headed up Ulloa and got a nice pic of Sutro tower rising behind St. Brendan’s:
Then we headed over Panoramic to Mountain Spring. I love the west side of Twin Peaks. Such mid century liciousness:
We headed home and I started cooking. I made red onion marmalade which is onions cooked down in wine and honey. The end product is beyond delicious and will be on my cooking blog as soon as I can get around to it. I also made savory shortbread with cheddar cheese and bacon. Mr. Poe loves them but I’m not completely satisfied. I was hoping for something a little puffier and chewier. My last attempt at savory biscuits was pretty much a fail so I feel like I’m improving but stay tuned! After dinner we got cleaned up and ready for bed. It’s so nice to have a weekend day that isn’t crazy busy because of Lifecycle stuff. Rufus is gonna be tired for a week and I had an awesome day!
