I had the distinct pleasure of sharing another Valentines with Fil on a Valentines that comes once every 7 years - Saturday. The day was altogether a light day of smiles. I was awoken by the Snapple...
The morning was full of preparation as we ascended to Berkeley's Tokyo Fish Market for our sashimi main course namely: Tobo Tuna, Kampachi, Han Hamachi and Uni. We also bought soba sauce and noodles as a side.
Earlier that morning Fil and demanded that we go to a florist so that I could construct my own bouquet - so following lunch at Gregoire (mmm... Creamy organic egg salad with truffles on toasted white bread and Hothouse smoked cod with potato chips & garlic sautéed spinach on pantofolina) - we dropped by a florist down the street where I created a white ranunculus, hyacinth, and a little purple vignette. We dropped by the Crixa Cakes bakery across from the Berkeley Bowl and picked up a 'Tunnel of Love". While at Crixa, we ran into a friend from San Francisco who was in the vicinity on a East Bay Eating Tour.
Dinner ensued like so...
We watched the beloved "Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind" which I believe should be recognized as a Valentine's classic. "Meet me in Montak..." Love that movie.
Admittedly, I wouldn't mind re-living yesterday a couple of times.
