Food Focus
Oh how I wish I had visitors coming in January! I just found out that this month is San Francisco’s Dine About Town 2005. Many very nice restaurants are offering three-course prix fixe dinners and lunches at affordable prices. I’m a food fanatic and I am always looking for that perfect little affordable bistro. I get to try places near my office, but they are mostly sandwich and salad joints in the $5-10 range. I bring my lunch most of the time. I guess Danny will just have to “suffer through” eating some new cuisine with me. So sad….
Although I’m trying to save money, there are too many sales going on for me not to buy something. I thought about what I wanted and what I really needed and I decided that Danny and I desperately need a new sofa. We have an old old loveseat that I inherited from my mom. How old is it you ask? I remember sitting on it watching cartoons when I was very young. We also have a futon. Now, the futon mattress is comfortable for sleeping, but it sucks as a couch. The mattress shifts with you when you move and you constantly feel like you’re going to ooze off onto the floor. I don’t want to give up the futon though since it is where guests sleep when they come to visit. Hence, I decided to ditch the old loveseat.
With this in mind, Danny and I set out to find a nice new sofa. I had a price limit set in my head, but, after shopping for a while, I decided that finding anything I liked that was close to my budget was going to be tough. Fortunately though, we found the discount furniture outlet by our home and bought a nice, cushy, new sofa for just a little over our budget. Score. It will be delivered next weekend. As Danny says, now we have a new scratching post for our cats. I hope not.
How have I been? I’m doing well and as you can see, a new couch is the highlight of my weekend. After the holiday madness, it is a pleasant respite.

What wonderful new restaurants did you try?
I’ve tried a caviar shop and an Indonesian restaurant. The caviar shop was very good and I actually got plenty of food to try. The Indonesian food was fair. The service was really slow too. I would go back to the caviar shop but not the other one.
For my next big meal, I think I’ll try a steakhouse not too far from the train station.
