Wined and Dined

Busy Busy bee buzzing around from one flower to the next, spring in San Francisco rocks the sock off any monkey!!

Along with the crazy but amazing Pilates schedule I keep, I have started a new job opening a restaurant with celebrity Chef Michael Chiarello owner of Napa Style home designs and Bottega restaurant in Yountville. It is an AUTHENTIC Spanish style restaurant down on the embarcadero over looking the bay bridge, Pier 5 magnificent location!! For the last few nights I have seriously been wined and dined, tasting very expensive Spanish and Napa Valley wines and eating very yummy, foodie, Spanish cuisine dishes.  I was quite surprised at the menu place being so used to Americanized foods from different cultures around the world, i was surprised by how genuine and authentic this menu actually is, and were not just talking food menu here.  The menu although for everyone, is not for the weaker pallated people of the world, allot of crudo, a whole dungeness crab, crispy shrimp with the heads still on them, octopus,baby squid, homemade sangria sauces, raw egg pea puree', etc...Everything is to die for but again quite adventurous as well, even the drinks are bold and brazen.

    Photo is from an actual restaurant in Madrid, but you now could find the experience down at Pier 5.


Life is a buzzing from teaching and practicing Pilates, to understanding the culture and cuisine of Barcelona, Madrid, and San Sebastian, its all go in the pulsing city of San Francisco. In a very fine lined way, I do believe I have managed to find the heart beat, the rhythm of my new home. Now, if i could only find a way to fit a surf in there somewhere, I would have it all.
