For Saturday dinner, we went to this steakhouse in Daly City to celebrate a friend's birthday.

 

I should've gotten the steaks or lamb chops but I wasn't really feeling it w/r/t red meat. I had the baby back ribs and was sorry I had ordered them. Meat was dry at times and the sauce a touch too sweet. Coleslaw might as well have been shredded cabbage with mayonnaise - no acidity, barely any seasoning, completely devoid of interest. French fries were the best thing on the plate.

PS. I needed to clean my lens on my camera, hence the blurriness at middle left and bottom right.

Then we went back home and had dessert.

 

Tres leches cake from a (new to us) bakery in the Mission. Served with homemade vanilla ice cream (pic not shown), brandy, coffee (for B and our guests) and Laotian ginger tea (for me).

 

The ice cream consisted of 1 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, 3 cups cream, 1 cup milk and 1/2 vanilla bean. It was awesome! There was a "clean" flavor that just isn't present in commercial product.

 

I gotta tell you, the days of shelling out $5 for a pint of Häagen-Dazs are over.

Oh well, at least dessert saved the evening.
