sf farmers market

although the morning didn't feel like it was going to be a nice day in sf it turned out to be gorgeous!!

here is a picture of my porchetta sandwich from roli roti (#12 off the 100 must try before you die sf)and my breakfast plate from rose pistola.  i have actually had the porchetta before and was not a fan but i thought i'd give it another shot at wowing me but i'm here to report that i do not like this sandwich!!  while i like to eat fatty foods i do not enjoy eating pieces of fat and this sandwich was half full of fat.  even after pulling out chunks of fat before i began to eat i still managed to find fat in each bite.  i understand that cooking it in/with fat helps enhance the flavors but this was an overkill.  i think the flavor would have been just as good if they'd cooked it in the pork belly then removed the belly before serving the pork loin.  anyhow i realize i may stand alone on this issue but i am not a fan nor would i recommend this to a friend.  if i decide to try roli roti for a third time i will order the chicken.  thankfully i did enjoy my arugula egg scramble with bacon and potatoes so all was not lost.

pistachios cream filled donuts.. yes i did!

this is a slice of coconut cake from miette, i know it's not the ginger snaps that are mentioned as #49 of the must try list but i can't seem to deviate from my routine at the ferry building.
