It was a rare glorious day of sunshine in San Francisco today. I was hell-bent on picnicking in the park. There was no way I was going to stay indoors on such a gorgeous day. So I packed up some tuna salad, a TON of snacks, and M and I hit up Cala Foods to get some tomatoes and Goldfish en route to the park up by Sacramento and Franklin.I did buy the whole wheat ones. I’m not convinced that they taste different from the regular Goldfish and why not get some extra good grains into my diet whenever possible (even if it is through snacking on the little crackers). M was not happy. He says he is a Goldfish connoisseur from many years spent eating “the real thing.” Whatever, I’ll blind taste-test him and see if his expertise pans out. 

I set out the food and we had ourselves a grand meal. We used to eat tuna packed in oil on crackers with a tomato slice on top in Costa Rica all the time when we vacationed there over Christmas and New Year’s of 2009/2010. I basically just tried to recreate that snack. A little Kerrygold Blarney cheese rounded out the yumminess. The CUTEST little dog came trotting over as soon as I popped the lid on the Tupperware holding the tuna. I think she wanted a bite too. So adorable. We didn’t give her any, but we did coo and pet her.

M and I ended up spending a few hours laying out there, snacking and reading. It was wonderful. What was not so wonderful was M’s giant sunburn that showed up a couple hours later.

Oh wow. These pictures don’t even do it justice. He is glowing. The hubris of the white American male. Never fails.

Hope you’re enjoying your weekend.
