S.F. Food & Thrifting

I was in the San Francisco area a few days ago for work. I had a few hours to go off exploring. Here are my pictures from that expedition.

This is right off Millbrae Ave and the Bayshore Freeway, near the In N Out Burger. I could kill myself for not making it there.


I walked into downtown Burlingame and found the Juban Yakiniku House Japanese Restaurant. It's a grill it yourself style place--something I had never done, so I gave it a try. The egg drop soup was a nice start.


Here is the beef slices and vegetables they brought me for grilling. It was good, but I should have went with the seafood special.


The art of grilling:


Both of these thrift stores are right around the corner from the Japanese place. Pick of the Litter had a poor selection of men's clothing.


The Goodwill had tons of men's stuff, but was terribly overpriced. You can take your goodwill and shove it.


I had a great run the next morning along a section of the Bay Trail. I didn't take any photographs, but that link has some. It's not the prettiest stretch of ocean, but when you live in a landlocked state, you take what you can get.

Bowling Champ!


We went bowling for our team building activity yesterday. It was much more fun than I thought it would be, despite my lack of pin-knocking-over ability. I was certainly the weak link on my team, but we still came out on top and scored $25 gift cards to Target.

I think I'll get some pots and pans with it.

Wynning In Vegas

I was in Vegas this last weekend for the guys annual March Madness trip. Last year we were at the Bellagio and Venetian, this was the year of the Wynn. The Wynn buffet is very good. I loaded up on all the things I love, but don't get to eat very often.

I started out with a nice seafood platter, with an emphasis on crab legs.



I visited the Indian station next. Indian food is my favorite, and theirs was pretty good.



Then it was back to seafood, with some sushi and other delights.



We were running late for V For Vendetta, so I didn't get a chance to photograph my desserts.
