Everything Happens for a Reason
Look who I bumped into in San Francisco this afternoon!!!
Beth T, Anne P, and Jenna! It’s funny how life works out, huh? 
In typical food blogger fashion, we met at Tartine to enjoy some delicious goodies.
Bloggers scoping out the options.
Everything at Tartine looked heavenly! I would have gladly eaten anything there.
From Tartine, Mal ordered the biggest croissant ever!
And I ordered the biggest chocolate-walnut cookie ever! 
Of course, we finished every last bite.
Blogger photo shoot (by Mal)…
I ended up exploring San Francisco all afternoon, so I have a massive recap coming soon.
Red eye flight to Boston up next.

Erin @ Big Girl Eats — December 30, 2009 @ 11:33 am
I missed Tartine while I was in San Fran this summer! Sad! It looks so great!
my year without — December 30, 2009 @ 11:35 am
I just happened upon your blog….and am inspired by the great photos you have taken! Also, they make me miss the west coast (having moved recently to the east coast) and especially the gorgeousness of SF.
lynn @ the actors diet — December 30, 2009 @ 11:40 am
that size cookie is my kinda treat!
Katie O @ Fit to Wed — December 30, 2009 @ 11:41 am
It looks like you guys had a blast! I am glad you were able to make the most of your traveling hiccups!
Sarah — December 30, 2009 @ 11:55 am
Hooray for huge cookies! Hope you have a safe trip back, love the pics of you and the other bloggers
Caitlin — December 30, 2009 @ 11:57 am
I always love that scarf when you wear it–may I ask where it is from?
Lauren @ Eater not a runner — December 30, 2009 @ 12:11 pm
Looks amazing! So jealous of that cookie!
zestycook — December 30, 2009 @ 12:13 pm
That is one huge cookie!! The Tartine looks awesome.
Hallie — December 30, 2009 @ 12:39 pm
I’ve been stranded in SF too (stupid fog!) and I took a cab into the city to explore. I guess if you have to be stuck somewhere, San Fran is a nice place to do it
but I’m glad you made it home safe and sound!

Heather @ The Joyful Kitchen — December 30, 2009 @ 12:44 pm
So awesome you got to see those gals while y’all were there. I showed my husband the picture of the cookie…he might be extremely jealous now
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run — December 30, 2009 @ 12:52 pm
Can’t wait for your recap. SF is the best. Someday I will make it to Tartine, someday…
Cynthia (It All Changes) — December 30, 2009 @ 1:29 pm
After I saw Jenna’s Tweet to you I hoped you got to get together. Looks great and I can’t wait to see the full recap.

Way to make lemonade out of lemons!
Caitlin — December 30, 2009 @ 3:30 pm
thanks Tina! I’ll have to look next time I am there. I actually picked up 2 of them the other weekend when I was there..cannot beat the $10 “cashmere” scarves!!
