This year I wanted to try a little homemade gift...hopefully next year there will be more. I make little plates for my team with their monograms. I thought they turned out adorable and I will definitely make them again, even if it's just for me!
My great grandmother had this awesome table that swizzles and turns to full size and half size. I've had it for years and while it's super cool, it's not very pretty anymore. I've been wanting to paint it forever but didn't know where to start. I finally took the project on when my mom was in town to help with Rory while I worked. I love how it turned out but I might reprint the top 'cause I'm not sure I like the antiqued top. I would also like to give it a shinier finish when I find the time.
The amazing thing about Slanted Door is how popular it is on a random Tuesday night. We couldn't get over how many people were there. Trish, Molly, and Jeannie and I decided a few months ago when we had dinner in the city that we would not make the trip again without a reservation at a restaurant that makes it worth it. We started brainstorming the San Francisco restaurants that we wanted to try or revisit and the first on our list was Slanted Door in the Ferry Building. SUPER good eats but even better company. I absolutely love these "girls" nights filled with yummy food, all of life's details, and Trish's inappropriate humor that has us all rolling!! I didn't think I liked spare ribs but Trish convinced me to try them and they were awesome! Trish had these last time and insisted on ordering them. The crispy shallots made the dish. The waitress spilled water on my phone so I got complementary Cotton Candy. So fun!!
