Breakfast in Berkeley

Check out my sweet perk following a late night in Palo Alto.

Breakfast in Berkeley
I helped out Decant Events with its wine tasting event at the Modernbook Gallery.

The next morning, the founder of Decant Events, Amrita, made french toast for breakfast. Yum!

Canadian Maple Syrup

She also introduced me to the sugary joys of REAL Canadian Maple Syrup. In comparison to its American counterpart, this syrup has a lighter color. It also doesn’t smack me in the face with sweetness. This is totally ideal for me since I don’t have much of a sweet tooth.

Overall, the syrup paired nicely with the toast and fruit.

The Most Wonderful Thing On Earth

Behold – my last piece of bacon before Lent.
I made a fried egg sandwich with bacon and blue cheese over sourdough. It tasted like heaven.

Bacon. Fried-up, meaty, fatty and makes me hungry for more….Bacon.
Fried egg  bacon & bleu cheese on sourdough. Last piece of pork before Lent

My bacon buddy Susan introduced me to this funny clip that touches on bed, breakfast in bed and bacon. In fact, I think this is the most time any comedian spends on the fatty gift from pigs.

Bacon.

Bacon – I will miss you.

Fast Food

On the tube, one of my guilty pleasures is Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares. (The BBC version) He has a terrible temper and he crosses the line of decency in every episode. However, the chef knows food and the restaurant business. The food spots who invite Ramsay into their establishments should totally know that in spite of his bad attitude, he knows what it takes to make their kitchens serve great meals and have their restaurants making money.


Now this segment from Ramsay’s “F-Word” is bloody inspiring. These quick meals look so tasty. Another bonus, I won’t have to spend a fortune on ingredients. I think I’m tackling the goat cheese omelet and the linguini puttanesca.
