Last week Chow.com sent me a recipe for a beverage called “Lucky Tiger.” I found the recipe rather timely considering I’d just returned from a trip to Southeast Asia, visiting Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. While in Thailand my travel buddy and I came across something called a “Lucky Buddha,” only this was no cocktail. No, [...]

Rarely do I write about stories outside the normal SF Tao of Pao realm (eating, drinking, being active, restaurants, recipes, etc). However, on occasion a story is so over-the-top and entertaining to me that I break the rules and decide to include it here for your reading pleasure. A past example includes my entries [...]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the work refrigerator to store your “Eating Right” entrees for future enjoyment, the Phantom Food Stealer strikes again. Too bad his (or her) gig is up. Given the rainy conditions outside today, I opted to skip the cafeteria’s offering of Saffron Cauliflower soup and [...]

So I am sitting at my desk today and my coworker Joe drops by saying he has to ask me a “serious question.” I prepare, thinking this is related to work and then he asks, “Was your raisin bran a healthy version? Because I think I just found it.” We walked over to the group [...]

If you remember from last week, I posted the following entry on Phantom Food Stealers in my office: http://sftaoofpao.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&post=183 Lo and behold the food bandit has struck again, this time closer to home (or in this case, closer to my desk). I came in this morning, ready to grab my regular morning coffee with coworker, [...]

So about a week ago, I went out to get my tires replaced on my car and picked up a tasty sandwich from local San Mateo deli, The Ravioli House. http://www.townme.com/the-ravioli-house-delctsn-san-mateo-ca-94401 I opted for an Italian combo sandwich which will fill any healthy appetite with it’s homemade salami cotto, proscuitto, mortadella, provolone and garlic jalapeno [...]
Go Car? More Like No Car!

Go Car? More Like No Car! We’ve all seen them. Those two-person yellow motor GoCars zipping around the city (actually not zipping, more like causing minor traffic jams along the frequented routes like Lombard St.). Some people honk at them. Others laugh and point. I’ve definitely done both. Yet I have to now admit [...]
