friday started with my first trip to kamameshi house! me and piggy had won our first battle of pictionary against rad and erwin, and since they lost they owed us din din.
place is pretty bomb. they cook your rice with what ever type of meat in a pot and cook it all together until the bottom gets crispy...soooo bomb. i got the griddled chicken- which was a fancy way of saying stir-fry chicken. pretty good though. it was almost like an adobo based sauce. the chicken karage wings were hellllaaa good. and erwin's fresh sushi platter was bomb as well. mos def making a trip back out here.
chicken wings and stir-fry (sorry blurry)
after din...folks met up at my house to surprise jason on his bday at the cellar. safe to say we all had a great time...and i think we all needed it. i think we were all pleasantly surprised by how good the music was. and crass found out that derrick d from triple threat was spinning. no wonder! the first hour they played some sick ass reggae, and later on it go sooo packed in there i didnt kno what to do. happy bday jason! hope you had a good time!
pre-fading at the spot
the next day. saturday we celebrated mark's bday! trekked out to hot asssss vacaville to his sister's phat asss house and played a little flip cup with the folks. i had to sit out, still feeling a little tired from the nite before. Alan being the prankster that he is, filled mark's cup with maker's mark one round. was funny, but the look on mark's face told me that im not going anywhere near maker's mark for awhile! happy bday mark!
folks were pretty tight at flipcup!
day after, woke up starving and i have been craving italian for a minute. hit up my east bay sista lea, and coincidentally pep hit up her up at the same time! we were going back and forth for awhile trying to figure out where to go, when finally pep suggested gypsy house in berk! across the street from top dog - can i just say that it was hellla good! and cheap! you figure that a lot of students are coming here, so they have to be pretty reasonable. me and lea split a pasta dish and pizza. hella good. highly recommend it if your in the area.
we got to play with elyssa too! crass and ramil met us up...and i think the best time to play with her is during the day. she's a ball of energy!
pasta dish! godfather's favorite! (penne, panchetta, chicken in a cream sauce)
the following week, i wanna say Tuesday, it was hellllaaaa hot in sf. i hit up nell to see if she wanted to hit up the beach. score! she did, so we made our way to coast. it just nice to see the beach every once in awhile. gain some perspective.
my camera has a bunch of cool settings this time i was trying out the sunset setting...pretty tight if i do say so myself.
after the beach, we were trying to figure out dinner. after much debate, nell finds out that chef nickalaus is prepping some yummy goodness in the kitchen. they so graciously invited me, and i was once again humbled at his skills. That boy can cook!
it was his first time making focaccia and if you ask me, he nailed it on his first try! keep in mind its all from scratch, dough, sauce errrrrythang! i have to say anytime you cook, im there! he also whipped up some pork stuffed cabbage...sooo bomb. thanks for having me over nick and nell!

i must say truly blessed to eat good food with good friends. till next time. just some parting shots...fun with the camera!
