Homemade Mexican Food!!!

This past Saturday, my friend Sylvia threw a housewarming get-together and promised to make Mexican food. I was excited. Not just because I love Mexican, but because I had heard so much about her guacamole that it was about time I would get to try it for myself.

Her guac most definitely did not disappoint! Since I was the first guest to arrive, and being the awesome host that she is, she served me up an individual "kiddie" plate of chips and guac. Maybe it's just been ages since I last had homemade guac, but this was fantastic! It was so fresh, simple, clean, and absolutely yummy. I really have to buy my own avocados and make my own sometime. It's too bad avocados in Korea are so expensive.

Not only did Sylvia whip up that awesome guacamole, she also made a special vegan burrito filling just for me! It had tofu, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and taco spices, and it was alllll good. She definitely knows how to make a vegan feel special!

Sooo mouth-wateringly delicious.

For dessert, while the others ate non-vegan cake, I got to feast on a plate of juicy peaches. These peaches were so good, I was not jealous of their cake one bit!

I left Sylvia's place feeling stuffed to the brim. I honestly haven't had such delicious homemade Mexican food, ever. Thanks Sylvia!!!

{Travel Tuesday} Marlowe in San Francisco, CA

por Admin | Labels: , , , , | 0 comments

One of the reasons we like to dine out is to discover new dishes we could make at home.  Last month, we discovered the airiest Brussels Sprouts chips while we were in San Francisco.  We had trekked all the way over to the SoMa district from our hotel (30 mins walk) to grab a late lunch at this relatively new bistro, Marlowe.  Though located near the AT&T Ballpark, this bistro serves anything but your average ballpark fare.

Walking inside Marlowe, we found a small, but comfortable space with an industrial decor.  My husband ordered the locally brewed Trumer Pils (Berkeley), a German-style Pilsner that made for a refreshing afternoon drink.
Marlowe Burger with Brussels Sprouts chips ($12): My husband ordered this juicy, rare burger and quickly devoured it.  With caramelized onions, bacon, melted cheddar cheese, and horseradish aioli, this burger had a nice balance between spicy and salt.  The burger itself has 80/20 ground beef with some mild lamb mixed into it and it's held together by an Acme bun.

But what I loved about the dish was that the kitchen let us substitute the side of fries with Brussels Sprouts chips  These chips were wafer-thin and crispy.  To make them, the chef takes the outer layers of Brussels sprouts and fries them in rice oil.  The chips are finished off with sea salt and freshly-squeezed Meyer lemon juice.
Little Gem Salad ($8):  I ordered this colorful plate of various shaved radishes, pickled onion, and avocado laid on top of bibb lettuce and dressed with a light citrus vinaigrette.  Though too small for a complete entree, the salad was bright and light.
After the salad, I definitely had room for dessert.  Believe it or not, this dessert was their version of Pumpkin Whoopie Pie. The Pumpkin Whoopie in a Jar ($6) had a very strong bourbon ice cream, bourbon caramel, vanilla bean, pumpkin spice, and pecans.  As excited as I was for this dessert, the bourbon flavor was too overwhelming for me (I was hoping for more pumpkin and vanilla).  My husband, however, enjoyed it and emptied out the jar.


Marlowe is located at 330 Townsend St in San Francisco, CA.
