A tasty trip to the Ferry Building San Francisco.
Yesterday I arrived in San Francisco for a the Blogher Food conference. I don’t really consider myself a food blogger. I eat food and I blog about some of it but I feel pretty much of a dork compared to the real food bloggers here. Hopefully I’ll learn much in little time about blogging in general and maybe pick up some cooking tips along the way.
Anyway, soon after arriving yesterday afternoon I met up with some great gals of the food blogging world that I’d never met “in real life” or IRL in the blogging world. We perused the Ferry Building which is chock full of tasty temptations, flowers and cooking ware. A real dangerous place for me considering I had only had some egg drop soup, trail mix and a Pepsi up until that point.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, (yeah, I know tomatoes are a fruit too)
breads,
chocolate…
oh, the chocolate,
There are no words to describe… Recchiuti Confections stole my heart while in San Francisco. I’m taking some of these sweets to my sweet (unless they get lost along the way, sometimes that happens you know – things get lost while traveling all the time.)
This was a cute stop, Miette. A delightful selection of goodies for sure.
They also had macarons.
I’ve never had a macaron. I’ve been seeing them pop up here and there on other food sites but was too embarrassed to admit that I’d never had one. I thought they were some kinda little round cake with coconut or something – we don’t do macarons where I’m from – at least not up until yesterday. A macaron is a french pastry. They’re good. Just had a pistachio one for breakfast as I’m typing this. Oh my…
So far my trip to San Franciso, albeit short, has been filled with sweet treats and some sweet new friends. Can’t wait to see what today brings.
Go find yourself a macaron.
Hope you continue to have a blessed time, meeting new people:) and learning new things. The food looks so yummy!
Sweet treats and sweet new friends all at the same time! How fun for you… can’t wait to hear all about your trip. Keep taking lots of pictures (these are awesome) and lots of notes so you can remember ever little thing. Hope you bring home some of those yummy tasting macaroons… love those things!
Ok maybe you can help me then. Blogher. I just don’t get how it all works. I’m part of the community…still don’t get how to use it and how everyone knows so much about it!
Thank you for writing such a fantastic post about San Francisco. I love your photos as well, the pears are amazing. But, where is the $60 a pound chocolate??
The chocolate photos in the case. All were $60/lb.
And how many pounds did you get?$$$ Welcome home. It’s good to know you are back home safe and sound. It looks like your trip to San Fran was a good one. It a beautiful place to visit. I meant to ask if got a chance to go across the Golden Gate and see the lighthouse nearby?
Love ya,
Mom
Good thing I didn’t go. I would still be in the Ferry Building and would have never even made it to the conference 🙂
EEEEKKKKK!!! Did you you meet The Pioneer Woman?? Love her!!! How fun that you got to go out there!! Thanks for sharing the awesome pics!
Yep I did meet her. And yep, in Classic Amy form I was a total dork. She’s cool. – Amy
How amazing! Such beautiful photos too.
We didn’t get to the ferry building but I’ll go next time for sure!
Can’t wait to hear more about the conference!
I knew I’d miss so much more than just the people & the conference itself! Who wouldn’t like tour San Francisco? Wish I could have gone to this conference in addition to BlogHer ’09—while it was definitely fun, I would have loved to attend a specialized food conference hosted in such a food-oriented city.
Your pictures are beautiful. My mouth is watering for a piece of that chocolate.
These pictures are wonderful. I am sorry I did not make it over to the Ferry Building after reading this post. It was nice to meet you at the conference. I love your site and will be back to read more!
It was so enjoyable stuffing my face with you! Loved those safflowers and love your picture of them. Just a tip for you – someone told me that Fran’s salt caramels are even better than the $60 ones I bought. Want to place an order now!
