Ferry Building Farmer's Market - Three Babes Bakeshop

Three Babes Bakeshop on Urbanspoon One day per week only (Saturday 8am-2pm) at the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market, which I visited during my 2015-April trip to San Francisco. Of course I asked what their most unusual pie was and was suggested their signature Salty Honey Walnut. $6 for what looked like 1/6 of a deep dish pie.

Salty Honey Walnut ($6 slice)
  • There is a slight eggy (?) flavour amid the caramel flavour.
  • Salted candied walnuts on top, giving an interesting taste combination of sweet and salty masking any bitterness from the walnuts.
  • Not overly sweet, but enough to give you a slight sugar burn at the back of the throat.
  • Amid the caramel flavour there is a slight eggy (?) flavour that sort of ruined this pie for me. Otherwise this is a tasty and interesting pie!
They really need to be positioned right next to some kind of juice stand for sheer convenience because after that much pie, you'll probably want a drink.

$6 is pretty daunting to pay for a slab of pie, but all their pies are made from scratch. And the quantity you get makes a good breakfast or light lunch, considering you can easily end up at a cafe paying $10+ for a boring omelette, and that's before tax, tip, and San Francisco Employee Mandate.

Tasty pies and a great deal. Look out for Three Babes Bakeshop on Saturdays at Fisherman's Wharf. Only one or two might be at the stand, though, so look for the sign instead of counting babes.

Get their business card to track your purchases -- slice #11 is on the house.

Meet Melissa Gaines and her blurry sexy pics

Oh boy! I had no sooner finished posting about the lovely Taylor Burch responding to my personals ad on Craigslist when Melissa Gaines (e-mailing from erikmcclure858@yahoo.com) mailed me a couple more pictures of her lithe body and selling her profile on the same looks-like-a-phishing-scam site (http://craigslistsafe.net/profiles/melx3/). One of them was an NSFW naked-breasts pic which I haven't posted here (sorry -- but honestly, nothing to write home about, especially with the serious bikini tan lines).

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.
