I don’t understand San Francisco haters. I moved I don’t understand San Francisco haters.

I moved here 13 years ago, and somehow I’m still having fun being a tourist in my own city.

Today I got to explore Japantown with Google Translate.

We made origami hearts with Live Translate instructions in listening mode.

Okay, but look how tiny this crane is! Such a cool little museum too.

Then we went to a Japanese grocery store and asked Google Lens  to figure out which ramen brand is best for going viral.

Obviously, we also had to menu translate some very important matcha and ramen decisions.

Japantown is one of the many reasons people visit SF. I’m just lucky enough to live here.

September kicked my ass but at least I looked cute September kicked my ass but at least I looked cute getting beat 👍🏼

Hello I want to shrink down to this origami crane size.

(afternoon touring SF Japantown with Google Translate)

Life is falling apart, so time to ball out on a Tuesday lunch delivery kind of day

New veggie discovery: garleek. An actually welcomed grocery delivery mixup 👍🏼

Bananas foster cannelé post bang trim then casual crash out Friday

No diet allowed Wednesday. Best meal this month. Chef Ron McKinlay at Dingles. 

(Didn’t get photo, but Mattina whole roast chicken,  seasonal caramelle corn pasta, and snap peas on delivery was runner up)

Scallion pancake blinis, salted egg cream, and caviar at midnight kind of situation

Money gods came so I got a dream leather jacket because I ain’t retiring ever at this rate

Even at a music festival we eat good

Hello my only success is at looking hot. And that’s thanks to genetics. So my only success is…

We need this on the perm rotation. Beef pho banh mi dip.

Meeting the coffee queen nbd

Run away to a Sonoma wine bar with a killer food menu kind of month

Fine, guess I’ll get plastic surgery to look like this 👍🏼
My eyes might have been swollen from crying a few My eyes might have been swollen from crying a few hours earlier, but I put on my happy face because there was no way I was missing my favorite festival.

And the universe knew I needed a win, because my dream leather jacket got delivered at noon. Just in time to complete the outfit.

We got this, girl.

I headed straight to Farmhouse World, my favorite festival restaurant, and ordered the whole spread.

The loco moco was my favorite. A warm bowl of ramen noodles hit the spot. And the mango sticky rice? Elite.

Plus you get a direct view of the main stage while you eat.

After some serious comfort food, my heart healed a little more watching Zara Larsson sing about just being a girl.

I loved how many women artists were on the lineup this year.

I’m so glad I got out of bed. Sometimes you just need to dance it out.
