On Friday night, a dead body was found on a 5-Fulton Muni bus. As the corpse showed no signs of trauma, investigators are still trying to determine the caused of death. (Our guess is the excruciating wait for an elusive 5-Fulton bus did him in.) According to police Sgt. Lyn Tomioka, "Workers discovered Feasel around midnight Friday at the bus yard at Presidio Avenue and Bush Street," but the bus was parked at around 6:30 pm that night.
Investigators will also use surveillance camera footage to see what, if anything, happened on the bus.Tuesday, October 20, 2009

Rain
It is raining again. It is officially 'rainy season'. It means you have to carry your umbrella with you b/c at any given time, it could rain. Some days its a light rain, others it pours all day. Erik was driving to work & said that it was flooding in one area.
Its already dark & dreary out at 3pm. blah. Not good for going to the gym or studying!!
Tonight I am making Chicken Lo Mein:
2. Cook noodles as package directs in salted boiling water; drain. Meanwhile, cut chicken diagonally into 1⁄4-in.-thick slices; place with remaining 2 Tbsp cornstarch in large ziptop bag. Seal bag and shake until evenly coated.
3. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add chicken; stir-fry 4 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove to serving platter.
4. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp oil in same skillet; stir-fry broccoli, sugar snap peas and red pepper 5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Stir sauce to reblend, add to skillet and cook 30 seconds or until thickened. Stir in chicken and noodles. Sprinkle with scallions.

Monday Morning
Get to the bus stop & it says next bus in 22 minutes. Sometimes it does say that but it's just joking & will come in like 3 min. Nope. 22 min go by and the bus is FULL and refuses to stop or let us on. Wait another 12 min and get on the bus. It was drizzling out this AM and of course, that means that things/people stop functioning properly. Annoying! I didn't get to work until 9:15. I could've been here at 9:30 if everything went smoothly. I'm exhausted already and its 10am!

Weekend
This weekend was pretty fun & relaxing. I had the day off on Friday. Saturday morning, I went to the gym to this HARD class. It's weights, punching, kicking, stepping, lunges, squats...but it's good. I can't believe how some people do a class like that for an hour & then get on the elliptical. What are they thinking!Maybe they are in shape & don't think the class is that hard.
Anyyyyway. It was so nice & sunny & warm here on Saturday. We drove down to Pacifica. Erik surfed while I sat on the beach & studied. It was nice out. I was wearing jeans & a sweatshirt but it was fun & cozy. Saturday night, we took Irene, her sister & her Mom to dinner. We brought them to Firenze by Night - a place we love. It was horrible. I feel so bad b/c we pumped the place up big time and then it sucked. Everything was off - it was too loud, hot in there, we had to wait a good 20 minutes to sit. Then, Irene got two dirty glasses. Everyone's food was 'just Ok'. Not a good dinner experience. If it was my first time there, I wouldn't go back. Maybe it is finally time to try one of the other 50 italian restaurants in North Beach.
Today, we went to the Nike Marathon to watch Bailey, Chrissy, and Irene! We waited at Mile 13 to see them. Then, I studied, food shopping, and finished the night by going out for tacos with Betsy.
It was a nice, relaxing weekend!

Dog Food
Evie has successfully switched dog foods. They stopped selling her old brand at Petco. I switched her to Candiae. I've read/heard a lot about it. So far, she LOVES it. Listen to what is in it - it's crazy.
Human grade chicken, turkey, lamb
Brown rice
white rice
sunflower oil
omega 6 &3
Eggs
Flaxseed meal
Alfalfa
Sage
Rosemary
Cranberries
Apples
Kelp
Is that funny or what? Well the sunflower oil is going to 'produce a beautiful skin & coat'. Lucky her.

Burger
I think this is where I should have my hamburger. The great Hubert Keller is opening a....burger restaurant!!
The week's mega-opening, Burger Bar, doesn't happen until Friday and even though a more formal Eater Inside tour is en route, here, now, we have a special sneak peek of Hubert Keller's shiny new burger joint, courtesy of a tipster. The pretty interior shots will come later this week, but in the interim, feast your eyes on how Burger Bar plays into the context of the Macy's sixth floor and how it even boasts its very own elevator (kind of), which we're assuming will be key for those late nights where Burger Bar is open until 2am. Lest you have burger aficionados running around Macy's.

Raincoat
I need a new raincoat. We got raincoats when we first moved here. We had no idea what the rain would really be like. It is a pain to commute in the rain. I have a short, pink Marmot raincoat that gets SOAKED when I go in the rain = doesn't really work that well.
After seeing what other people wear, thinking about what I need in a coat - here is the solution from Patagonia -
Unfortunately, it is $250. I will be on the hunt now to find it cheaper!

Hamburger
I am dying for a hamburger. I know I will probably get a stomachache but I think I should stop talking about it and just eat one! Especially watching that show Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives. He comes to places near us and I just want to go and mangia!
It's Raining, It's Pouring...
Today, we woke up to torrential rain & wind. It was so dark and stormy out. We are working from home today because it's so bad out. My boss lives in the Oakland Hills and they get weather worse than us. Plus the bridges are probably a mess. Our street is partly flooded! It's crazy. Apparently, it's an el Nino year so we will get a lot of rain.
Evie refused to go potty this AM. Its now 1030 and she hasn't gone yet. I guess she will go when she is at her breaking point!

Sunday
On Saturday, we got back from Napa & picked Evie up at camp. We came home & immediately left again to go meet up for beers with Betsy & Greg. Miss Evie was pretty mad about that. When I came home, we had a surprise - She had gone into the bedroom, into my work bag & pulled out my lunch bag. Carried it into the living room. Opened the bag & pulled out a tub of cream cheese(totally forgot that was in there). ATE THE ENTIRE THING. I'm sure it tasted good going down but she was miserable on Sunday. She is pretty sensitive to food anyway so eating an ENTIRE tub of cream cheese was not pretty.
Laying UNDER the covers on me, on the couch
Mommy - I'm so sick. I never should've eaten all that cream cheese
It was COLD - 50 degrees, foggy & gray yesterday. We were being so lazy!
ughhhhhh - make this feeling go away. no more cream cheese.

Napa
Yesterday was a great day! Here are some pics. We went to our winery, Alpha Omega. We drank & sat outside. Then, we had dinner at Market. It was amazing.The service was great. Free corkage for your wine. They have 'American' food - halibut, fish & chips, fried chicken, steaks.
We took the GGB to get up to Napa this time
Beautiful ride thru Sonoma
Love the grounds of this winery!
It's Harvest season! This means all of the grapes are coming in and will be crushed to make the 2009 wines. We got a behind the scenes tour on how it all works. It was really neat. 1st - They hang on the vine getting ready to be picked.
Waiting in their boxes to be de-stemmed
This machine de-stems the grapes
Leftover stems!
The grapes go into this barrel and start mixing. They have to keep dry ice under the barrel so the grapes do not start fermenting.
We shared the Tuna Tartare & Heirloom salad/mozz cheese/watermelon salad. Then, I had the halibut and Erik had the fish & chips. We shared though. For dessert, we had the butterscotch pudding in a waffle cup. This dessert was featured in Bon Appetit magazine! I cannot wait go back and try the rest of the menu!

Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary Day to me & Erik!! Check us out "through the years". hahaha. You know what is funny to me is - when you get married, you get a new anniversary & celebrate that. What about all of the time & energy you put into the relationship BEFORE the wedding. It seems strange to say - we've been married 1 year but together for 4 or whatever. There should be a combo # or something.
