I tried. I gave it my best shot to
try and make it through the list of the new places that were on my radar for my
visit to San Francisco, the one that I’d been scribbling down for the last few
month. But getting felled by a bout of whatever it was that I picked up on my
flight sapped me of a bit of my energy.
Fortunately, midway through my trip, I
was able to rally back and proved myself to be the trooper that I knew I could
be. But apologies to the folks who came by to meet me at my event, for the
laryngitis that prevented me from expressing my enthusiasm for meeting you! And
thanks for braving the cold temperatures to come out and say hi.
Even since my last visit just a few
years ago, a bunch of bakeries,
chocolate
purveyors, bread
places, and restaurants
have opened in San Francisco that pretty much knocked my socks off. I was also
thrilled to see that the city has implemented a city-wide composting program,
to deal with all the kitchen and food scraps that normally get tossed. Seeing
that has prompted me to take another look at options in my own kitchen in
Paris, since it pains me to throw things that can be reused away. (The
worm-based composters, which seem to be the best option for apartment-dwellers,
make me a little uneasy. I have nothing against worms, but am not sure I could
sleep soundly at night with a big container of them wriggling around nearby.)
