Whats for Lunch?

Hi everyone! As you can tell, we have been busy. Both of us have been working full time, but we look to get back in the habit of up dating our blog. Speaking of work, I work in the building on the left and Adrianne in the building on the right. We work across the street from each other (how cute huh?) anyways, these are a couple of places we like to eat at when we are not packing awesome lunches from home. Enjoy and be on the look out for new post coming soon!
  

Working Girls Cafe is a place we drive by every week on our way to work. One time there was a bunch of construction men wearing hard hats eating underneath the working girls logo, too bad we didn't have a camera. We both had the salmon sandwiches and it was one of the few sandwiches I didn't mind having extra mayo on. Super yummy.

Bread and Cocoa is another local cafe that has great sandwiches. About two weeks ago we came in here when it was pouring rain during lunch time. I had the portabella sandwich. The bread was a little tough but the mushroom was super savory and juicy. Adrianne had the tomato basil soup and it was one of those times (like always) that I wish I had ordered what she was having.

San Francisco Boxed Food Co. is another place that always has a line out the door. This place serves all their food in boxes. hence the name. We ordered the brie and pare sandwiches (so many sandwiches huh) and this was one of the most interesting taste fusions I have had.

Last, we have the farmers market every Thursday in the galleria on Sutter and Montgomery. We get strawberries when in season which has been for the past month. Not only do they have fresh fruits and veggies, but there is this man named Bryd who makes pretzels. Not just any pretzels, but pretzel knots. He ties the pretzels in knots before they are baked. One of the best things in The City in my opinion.

Home Cooked Mexican

Since moving to the Bay Area I have had one void in my diet . . . a home cooked Mexican meal. There has been times when my mother has sent frozen tamales and chile rellenos for us, but it isn't the same as having a freshly prepared meal from home. It doesn't help that we couldn't find quality hand made tortillas, until now. The other day we Yelped tortillas in the Mission and came across La Palma. Finally fresh tortillas! We made some beans, rice and threw in a few tall Modelo Especials and we constructed one of the best meals to date. I really can't emphasize how difficult it is to find Southern California style Mexican food. Everybody up here puts rice in their burritos and wraps them in tin foil. Also, don't even think about ordering a bean and cheese burrito because they don't have refried beans as an option. Lolita's would rule up here.

"Meat Free Chili"

Welcome,

First, allow us to introduce ourselves, our names are Adrianne and Manny (Manuel, Doggie, etc.) and we live in the beautiful city of San Francisco!

This is the beginning of what we hope to be a very pleasant and mouth watering experience for everyone. Our purpose, to share our cooking and eating experiences with the world.

To the left, we have a bowl of our vegetarian chili. This REALLY easy dish saved us from the bitter cold of our previous home in the Inner Richmond. It consists of kidney beans, black beans, carrots, onions, red and green bell pepper, tomatoes, and a wide variety of chili powders and spices. I can still vaguely remember how I could see my breath inside the house and climbing out of the shower in the morning was like a swift slap in the face.
