A house around the corner had a bunch of dinosaurs on the brick railing by their front steps. Guarding the house, I guess. This is the t-rex.
The dinner pizza was corn and ground beef/ham (beef and ham mixed together into tiny meatballs.) Instead of making the oven as host as I possibly can (550) and cooking the pizza as quickly as possible, I used the Cheese Board recipe of starting with a cooler oven (450), baking the pie on an inverted sheet pan for 15-20 minutes, then finishing it off on the stone for another three or four minutes. It turned out ok (especially since I lightly oiled the sheet pan to give the crust that extra, erm, fatty goodness), but the crust turned out a little too crisp. In particular, the edge was very hard and cracker-like. Maybe the oven runs a little hot? Or maybe I should just take it out a little earlier.
There's a new street sign on Minna, across the street from the SFMOMA parking garage. "We reached the limits of poetry on the third day of the big sale." I'm not entirely sure what that means, except maybe that Academy of Art students take a lot of drugs.
Toaster Oven for lunch with Nathan. I got the piezetta sandwich, which was messy and just okay. It's not as good as the italian or kitchen sink. The buffalo chicken pizza from California Pizza Kitchen at the team meeting at work. I the fact that they give you a little thing of blue cheese dressing for your pizza. I don't like the fact that the chicken is kinda dry and overcooked. I went for the honey wheat crust which was also a mistake. So overall not a terribly satisfying day for food.
Late dim sum lunch with Marvin at the Tong Palace. It was okay. I don't think I'll go back there for dim sum (although I'll go back for other stuff.) Dinner at home -- a bison buger and a kimchi and chicken pizza. The kimchi part of the pizza was pretty good, but I don't know why I keep on trying chicken on pizza. It just doesn't work for me. Maybe if it was barbequeue chicken or something with a stronger flavor it would be okay.
So-so chinese food from B&M Mei Sing for lunch (shrimp chow mein -- it really was kinda bland; maybe I should just stick with their szechuan noodle soup) with Mimi. Shilpa's mini pecan pie for an unlikely (but very delicious) appetizer, then dinner with a lot of people at Goat Hill Pizza's "neighborhood night".
