Hello, May of last year! It was a busy month of travels and gatherings, but we start the at-home adventures with Taiwan Day at the SF Giants. Cute Taiwan bear bobbleheads this year! We had a wonderful personal block of Taiwanese Americans joining us for the annual night out. The ‘popcorn chicken’ looked like donut…
At home in the month of April. Starting it off with a virtual accountability meeting. Matt Chapman bobblehead day with the Giants. Golden State 5k! I walked most of it, but I was proud to do it at all as I was starting my third trimester. Brunch at Rabbit Hole. And stroller shopping with my…
Hello, March! Let’s get right into it. First, a virtual Office of Accountability meeting. I cannot remember why we were laughing. I borrowed a tiny Sony RX100 V camera through my Sony Pro membership and used it all month. It’s a pocked-sized point and shoot, but I liked that it still had a wide aperture….
October recap! We start off with my lunch date with Rebecca and a box of my fruit CSA from Frog Hollow Farms. A visit to the glass pumpkin pop-up at Santana Row with the Garrisons. Date night at Showa, a relatively new tasting menu spot in Soma, SF, featuring tonkatsu. Blue Angels flying…
At the start of September, we returned from our New York trip, and in the middle, we spent a long weekend in Kansas City. The rest of the month was packed full of birthdays and gatherings! First, some casual hangouts with friends– it was warm enough for a pool day in SF! Plus, visiting Benchmark…
Back in the spring, I got to attend the Oakland A’s Taiwan Day, which has been an annual occurrence at the Coliseum for several years now. The San Francisco Giants finally decided to join in on the fun, hosting their very first Taiwanese Heritage Night this fall. And to double up on the festivities, they…
I am so thrilled to share my latest craft project, nearly two years in the making! Ever since I married into baseball fandom (thank you Alex), I started bringing my own hobbies to the ballpark. For the entire 2022-2023 MLB season I was knitting the cutest little hexpuff quilt for my friend’s baby. After that…
August! Started with a visit from Alice, who was in town from LA. We ate allll the pastas at Cotogna. Then, drinks and snacks at Moongate Lounge. Walkabouts in Chinatown Quarterly standing date at the House of Prime Rib! The Chronicle keeps talking about how hard it is to get into this place, but we…
July recap! Let’s jump right in. Alex tagged along on a surprise proposal, and we had a wonderful dinner at Dalida afterwards. Fourth of July bbq at Steph and John’s. They ran a whole nature school, catching insects in Westin’s little bug catcher for the boys to look at. Cracked open another precious bottle of…
Lo and behold, it’s the June recap! I am catching up on my personal posts, at least for now. June was a packed month, with lots of hiking, a vegan edition of our Taiwanese American Cookbook Club, the completion of my eight month-long project making a custom mahjong set, and lots more, as shown below….
Hello May! We begin with the Office of Accountability’s monthly meeting, this time in person at Lindsey’s. Two symphony date nights in a row! We stopped by Teakwood for delicious Burmese food before Wizard of Oz. The symphony plays the whole soundtrack to the classic movie starring Judy Garland. The next day, the symphony played…
Here is a look back at our jam-packed month of April. We also visited Florida this month, but otherwise we were busy having adventures all around the Bay. First, Thai food for date night in the city. Vince, Alex, and I made the pilgrimage to Russian River Brewing Co. up in Healdsburg to wait in…
