Teflon-flavored Bananas

Friends came over for a little BBQ today. Jes made his yummy chili-lime wings. I made my guac. Susie brought over the drinks. We made some margaritas. And Ryan almost burned my house down. No, just kidding. He did, however, manage to set my non-stick pan on fire so we got some Teflon-flavored Bananas Foster. Yum. We all still managed to eat every last bit of it and I once again survived another banana-based dish. No gagging this time around but I think it was the ice cream that helped it go down easier.

Once again, little Jack stole the show and he also got to hang out with Koa, Smush, and Señor Fatty DuckDuck.

Here are the photos.

A Little Dose of Culture

Jes and I went to Outer Mission yesterday for a little SF Carnaval experience. We rode BART (free with our Muni passes) and walked down to Harrison and 16th where there was a sea of people trying to cram themselves into the festival. There were performers, food booths, and a bunch of corporate booths ranging from Best Buy to Disneyland. There were also vendors selling all kinds of t-shirts, banners, and anything else you could think of that celebrated Brazilians, Mexicans, Peruvians, Nicaraguans, etc etc.

We watched a group of people singing and chanting while two guys performed capoeira. That was pretty cool. We also watched three DJ’s having a scratch-off underneath a different tent and that was pretty fun to watch as well. Overall, it was quite a cultural experience in the area that Vyl calls “Mexico”. It was interesting but I don’t think we’ll be returning next year.
