Typical evening in SF
Well, had a nice drive to SF. Traffic didn't make me scratch my own eyes out. There was congestion in the usual places: Roseville, Fairfield, outside Vallejo, etc. For the first time, I took the "SF Only" lane on the left just before entering the city; I think it helped some, but not as much as a Search & Destroy front-mounted missile launcher would.
Des & I went to Shakespeare in the park... successfully rode the bus both ways... got honked at, along with the other pedestrians, in the crosswalk for no reason other than the drivers' impatience. Stopped in the middle of the road, turned, looked at then, then turned back and continued walking. Arrived at the park, spread our blankets, ate our food, gave up, went home. (Wet ground + cold wind + insufficient sound system = miserable confusion.)
We bought a bar of Dagoba (which doesn't seem to have a website) on my suggestion, and of course it was the worst ever. Who knew not to try that flavor? I assumed all their chocolates were at least fantastic, even if not necessarily all equally good.
Came home, kidnapped Steve, went for dessert. I quite enjoy Sweet Inspirations. I had a strawberry tart and COFFEE. After five weeks at Heartwood, it's a guilty pleasure
You know, tarts, with their pretty fruit toppings, are something I almost never order. I'm always afraid that I'm judging a book too positively by its cover, and that what's underneath that beautiful exterior will prove dry or tasteless or both. But not at Sweet Inspirations. Their tart filling was nummiful and happy making.

Try Citizen Cake, it's about 200 times better than sweet inspirations.
