T is for Too Many meals

 

Tuesday again, how the week flies, yesterday our car had to have its first ITV as the car is four years old, can’t believe we’ve had it so long already, its a test for smog and road worthiness, i know it’s not something that is done in the States, well definitely not done in CA, it is in England, it’s called the  MOT, 

I thought I’d show some of the meals we had in San Francisco, we flew out on January 8th until February 24th, we actually got to celebrate our sons Birthday just before we came home!


My husband is a big basketball fan and our son works just around the corner from the Chase Centre quite handy for parking when we go into the city.  That's his Office building in the background.

Steve was really pleased to see it in person and have his photo taken although sadly he didn’t get to see a game this time.





Our son took us to S F Kebabs, not being a huge fan of Kebabs, i haven’t eaten one for over thirty years, I was a bit wary. 


                                



I hope the bottles on the counter can be my ticket to the T Party for this week, I forgot to take a photo of our sodas.


As you can see an extensive menu so we let our son choose the food.


we had the platter of dips, stuffed vine leaves, (not to my taste), the vine leaves I mean, falafel and pitta bread which was lovely but far too much even for three of us, in fact if we go again I would just have that.



I had already eaten some of my wrap with Lamb meat before I remembered to take a photo, I didn't managed much more than that so I took the rest home.



Now we know why our son is always telling us he’s put on weight as he sometimes comes here for lunch!!!


Our walk last Sunday along the seafront at Bolnuevo, we like it here when it's busy in the puerto, it's always much quieter although sadly they've demolished our favourite breakfast place, apparently all these years it's been illegal, it's a tiny bar area so they added a huge conservatory on the side without planning permission so now it's gone.They have opened up around the corner with new owners and the Tostada con Tomate is lovely!


Weather is hot here but seeing as we usually leave home at 8.30am and do our circular walk, breakfast, shopping and collect the post we are home before it gets too hot, hope you are seeing some sun wherever you are.

Happy T day

  2. Good morning, here in Missouri we still need to have our cars and trucks tested every two years before we can buy our new license plates. Looks a lovely area and good food too. Happy T hugs Kathy

  3. Too bad you were taken to a restaurant that serves foods that you generally don’t like! That style of food can be done well or badly, depending on the quality of materials especially.

  5. So many great photos for T this week Jan. I bet you enjoyed visiting your son for that long too. But too bad about him taking you out for kabobs. Oh well, at least it's been a long time since she had any. I hope you're having a wonderful T day. hugs-Erika

  6. Lots of wonderfufl food. Here the cars need to be tested regularly, too. Happy T Day, hugs, Valerie

  7. When I lived in Missouri, like Kathy said, we had to have the inspection done and show it AND our insurance in order to get our tags or tag stickers. Here in Kansas, the only time you get inspected is when you buy a car from an individual or move to this state.

    You visited and ate some great places. We also have a restaurant called Kebobs. Ours is a buffet, though. I love anything Mediterranean. Yes, those bottles count, dear.

    Thanks for taking us to San Francisco and showing us around, including your meal at Kebob, where the bottles were for T this Tuesday.

  8. I love kebabs, so we will look for this place next time we are in the city. This is a street food in my home country and I miss it. Actually you do have to do a smog test in CA when you need to renew your registration. For new cars it's usually done after five years for the first time and then every two years.

  9. Here in Massachusetts, our cars are inspected every year. How nice to visit with your son and going out to eat and no cooking is a big plus for me. Happy T Day
