First Annual Good Food Awards Marketplace in San Francisco
0 comments Posted by nanabuuui at 11:00 PMInstead of studying, I was aimlessly browsing the web and stumbled across this: Good Food Awards :D
Something about street food with free samples called out to me. I asked the bf if we could go. He was super excited, too! :D
The criteria is that the food must be responsibly produced, supporting sustainability and social good. There were seven categories:
- beer
- charcuterie
- cheese
- chocolate
- coffee
- pickles and preserves
We got to try everythinggg!! There was no beer, though. Boo :[
The event started at 8 AM and ended at 2 PM. We got there around 9:30 AM because I couldn't wake up early enough.. (sorry bf!!)

| "whyy sooo serious?!" |
After a few hours of browsing around, trying out the samples, and purchasing our favorites to bring home, we walked to Chinatown and Little Italy to explore. The walk was nice :] we found some interesting buildings and passed a variety of shops. I definitely prefer the feel of SF's Chinatown to New York's. It's less dirty. There were a good amount of people at the markets. I know it's Chinatown, but it made me think of the markets in Vietnam. And I miss the scents, noise, and feel of the early morning markets :[
We got some keychains and toys, like the Scarecrow and Joker one there :D
Somewhere around Little Italy, we spotted four hookers o__O IN DAYLIGHT!!! They were just hanging out in an alley by a bunch of strip clubs. HRM.

| I liked the turtle bread and crab bread from this display. TOO CUUUTE!! There was also a pet shop WITH THE CUTEST PUPPIES, EVERR! Makes a girl want a dog even more :[ Must wait for my future corgi. SIGH. |

| We spotted a huge line in front of Golden Gate Bakery. We had no idea why, so I convinced the bf that we should get in line to find out :] The line moved relatively fast, and we got some scrumptious egg tarts, pork pastries, and sesame balls. |

Tumblr server down all day: the removal of a distraction during finals.
Let's toss in the fact that K decided to cut me off from Puzzle Fighter, too.
Alas, hello new friend.
I don't want to sleep yet and I need to feel productive.
This all-nighter is my solution.
This photo was taken earlier today.
Bf pulling me around the ice rink on his snow skateboard thing. As we were making our first trip around the rink, a young boy approached us and asked if he could try. He was so enthusiastic about the prospect of being pulled around. Bf and I looked at each other. He ended up pulling the boy around a few times as I watched from the side with T. Too cute.
T: He's such a nice guy. I'd be so annoyed.
:D
