Sorry for my lack of posting, but I feel awful. Because of this, I haven’t been the best at taking pictures of my food in the past 24 hours but hopefully I’ll feel more like myself tomorrow.
Yesterday I finally made it to San Francisco around 5:00 and the boy picked me up from the airport and took me to eat some spicy Vietnamese food to try to clear up my congestion. We went to The Slanted Door over at the Ferry Building and I only wish I was feeling better because I think I really would have loved this place!
Unfortunately I couldn’t really taste or smell anything but it appeared to be delicious. I nibbled on some seared scallops—
And then ordered the rice noodles with dungeness crab for my entree.
After I took this photo I pretty much covered what you see here with sriracha sauce. I think it was really good. I need to go back when I can breathe!
Mehhhh I’ll be back!

May 10, 2010 at 10:52 ami think that’s the worst kind of sick…i can handle throwing up (don’t like it though!) but when you can’t breathe it affects EVERY aspect of your life! hope it gets better soon!

May 10, 2010 at 11:17 amI hope you feel better soon. I so know that feeling of denial, when you know it’s a cold but just say “Oh, it’s allergies.” It gets me everytime 😉

Feel better soon!

May 10, 2010 at 11:52 amThere’s nothing worse than eating a delicious meal and not being able to taste it. I’m sick in bed today, too, so I feel your pain. Off to heat up soup. =(
Cara
May 10, 2010 at 11:56 amI can’t breathe today either because of allergies. no fun. i am thinking good thoughts, so you feel better soon!

May 10, 2010 at 12:18 pmHope you’re feeling better! Being sick is no fun – sending you virtual chicken soup and a good book. 😉
Kim
May 10, 2010 at 12:24 pmHope you feel better…and um, that Asian lady in your first photo looks like Sandra Oh (Grey’s Anatomy)!! I think it is her because she has a very distinct look. 🙂
Abby
May 10, 2010 at 12:27 pmI was in the same (bacterial) boat this weekend, except I didn’t have that meal waiting for me at the end of the day 😉 Nothing ticks me off more than not being able to taste/enjoy a meal like normal. It’s cruel and unusual punishment to have to eat with your eyes…
So, all I did was rest, rest, rest and eat, eat, eat and drink tea this weekend and today? Viola! Back to semi-normal. Get rest and get well soon! (Planes stink when you’re sick–a petri dish of germs in their own right.)

May 10, 2010 at 4:56 pmI loved The Slanted Door when we were in SF!
Emily
May 10, 2010 at 5:09 pmHighly recommend chicken or tofu pho soup when you are sick and can’t breathe. It helps me every time. Hooray for Vietnamese food!
Krystina
May 10, 2010 at 5:33 pmAw, feel better!
Kim
May 10, 2010 at 5:41 pmHave you tried Il Cane Rosso right across from the Slanted Door in the Ferry Building? They have a warm egg salad sandwich that is AMAZING! Feel Better!

May 10, 2010 at 5:56 pmI totally miss summer reading months — I tend to have my own every summer as well. Love the books on the list — you should check out the latest book by Jeanette Walls, Half Broke Horses.

May 10, 2010 at 6:35 pmI just went to the Slanted Door last Monday for a work dinner. I loved it, too! Did you check out the bathrooms? Coed, which weirds many people out. You + BF could have wandered in holding hands 😉
Jess
May 11, 2010 at 5:25 amYeah, I see Sandra Oh too! She is from my hometown! 🙂
