It turns out that when you are making risotto and discover that you have only a third as much arborio rice as you need, you can't just substitute jasmine. As my boss put it, "you didn't make risotto, you made rice with butternut squash." Oh, well. The bread turned out well and the plum tart was unexpectedly good!
The weekend was gorgeous. Steve was on call, but Grace and I finally made it to the Arizmendi in the Sunset and we wandered the botanical gardens with a new transplant to San Francisco, another member of the medical training cross country tour set. We also went to Crissy Field with an old friend. We worked together in San Diego when I was first out of college, and we used to hang out at her beach cottage when Ashley dog sat for her. She also now lives in SF and brought her now 13 year old dog (91 in dog years!) and Grace was quite delighted to have a dog along for our walk and picnic.
A few quick phone pictures...
