The weekend



This weekend brought us another trip to the Farmer's Market for fresh flower love, but this time, we also showed some New York friends around before heading up to Napa.  (Ehh hem, confession: we maybe had more chilaquiles.  Why are you so good, chilaquiles verdes?) 

I have to admit, it's awfully nice living close enough for day trips to the wine country.  And not just any wine country, one of the world's finest wine regions!  We hit up two of our favorite spots: Sequoia Grove, which has deliciously spicy Syrah (I highly recommend the 2006 Syrah).  We also ended our day with a little bubbly at the gorgeous and sprawling estate of Domain Chandon.  I love their etoile brut rose (and the blushy pink color) - not too sweet, but just enough.

This weekend also brought...

Walks with more pretty flowers.









Delicious and perfectly creamy Blue Bottle Coffee.









Miles and miles of grapes!



You won't believe it.

Chocolate mousse in an edible chocolate cup. 
No really, you can eat the little tea cup!



More treats from the darling Miette Bakery...





I maybe had some for breakfast on Sunday.



Some green space.

Wish list.

I've maybe been crushing on this cute gunmetal grey Market Bag from moop.  I love the adjustable strap.  It's perfect for trips to the Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, where inevitably, I bring home some fresh seasonal flowers:

(If only peonies were available year round.  Le sigh.)

...and without fail, end up enjoying the most delicious chilaquiles verdes you can dream up.  Ever.  In your entire life.  Seriously, if you ever find yourself at the San Francisco Ferry Building Farmers Market you really have to try some.
