Potatoes in the Mist

 I tried this avocado salad from Smitten Kitchen. Amazing. The red onion isn’t necessary; the dressing, lettuce and avocado are enough. 

 I just finished watching the Gilmore Girls revival. I heard it was “controversial,” but I liked it. I hope they do another one.

 I tried a sandwich today that was blog-worthy. No photo, unfortunately—it was gone too fast. I got it at The Love Loaf in North Beach. Ham, melted Brie and fig jam on a croissant. 

 I made peach crumb muffins from Smitten Kitchen Keepers. Delectable 😊

 I hadn’t made one of these in ages…since New York, maybe. But it was as good as I remembered. I had mine with Nutella, but Eric likes Bonne Maman jam.

 Kyoto is beautiful.

 The kids and I are in Kyoto. It feels like the real Japan, less citified than Tokyo. Coming back from dinner, we saw a river with stepping stones, and waded across.
