bostock for breakfast
Ordered the bostock at Four Barrel with a latte. It’s an almond syrup soaked brioche, but this one is a citrus version with hazelnuts on top. The Kitchn says it’s better than French toast, but I don’t think they’re similar enough to compare. One is drenched in egg and this is an almond pastry. Still, if you cross paths with a bostock (what an odd name…) and are obsessed with almond anything like I am, I recommend you get it.
Four Barrel, 375 Valencia Street, San Francisco (415) 252-0800
Homemade parfait with maple syrup whipped cream, Liberte yogurt, strawberries & crushed chocolate donut from Peter Pan Donut in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. I moved to the neighborhood about a month ago and soon realized I live only a five minute walk away from Peter Pan. It’s not a problem… yet.
Staying in on 11/11/11 to watch the last Harry Potter movie with Soraya and thinking about the fresh beignets I had just a week ago at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans…

last day in san francisco
Made a second pilgrimage to Tartine earlier today for ham and cheese croque monsieur, shortbread and ice coffee. I was eyeing these rocher with cocoa nibs while waiting in line for twenty minutes. Didn’t get them though! One more thing to look forward to on my next trip to San Francisco…

Dreamy fig and mascarpone crostata at tonight’s SWFF dinner. On my third glass of Lambrusco and reviving my personal mission to try everything/make sure no food goes to waste tonight.
Lambrusco by Dolce Rosato from Cantina Puianello, which I believe is a region in Italy. Tastes like bubbly black cherry and raspberry juice - delicious.

Homemade monkey bread aka squished biscuits in a bundt pan! The Paladino recipe calls for milk chocolate in addition to gooey cinnamon sugar. Serves one.
Chocolate chip cookies just happened.
Happy Autumn! Allow me to introduce Pumpkin Whoopie Pie from BAKED. We met last Sunday during my eating adventures through Red Hook for my next piece in offManhattan.com. I’m never inclined to order whoopie pie when there are cupcakes to be had. However, the pumpkin flavor takes the cake. It’s moist but dense and not too sweet. Best cream-filled sandwich I’ve had in a while! And perfect pick-me-up with a cup of coffee to counter the foul-weather blahs.
