This memorial day, my friends and I got together for a rooftop barbeque in SF. Except for the wind and a couple of missing buddies, it was perfect. Yummy steak, chicken, beer, wine, grandma's secret recipe coffee cake (the best ever, Susan!) and lots of other great eats.
I decided to make a new coleslaw recipe I found and it was delish. The recipe made two big containers full and we ate almost all of it! It's a little bit sweet and a little spicy, which in my opinion, is the perfect combo. The Food Network has lots of great recipes...I'm always finding something that's unique, yet still pretty simple to make.
Let me know if you give this one a try for yourself!

Saturday, Boyfriend and I went to Jack London Square for the Eat Real Festival and it was SO MUCH FUN!
There was amazing street food of all kinds, over 30 different of beers on tap, lots of performances, an amazing farmers market, a butchery contest, cooking demonstrations -- all scattered through Jack London Square. We were only planning on checking it out and grabbing lunch, but we ended up staying there til past 8:00 at night, then going out for more drinks.
We were exhausted from the unbelievable heat, but it was SO worth it. I can't even tell you how well prepared this event it was. There were tons of people yet there weren't long lines because there was enough stuff for everyone to eat and drink and watch. All of the 70,000+ people were super happy and friendly (okay, maybe not ALL of them, but I didn't get elbowed in the face or the ribs the entire time).
It was the best festival ever!
My highlights:
- Bean and cheese pupusas
- Goat's milk ice cream
- Figs with balsamic vinegar, toasted almonds and goat cheese
- Grilled Chilies
- Mexican mariachi band
- Friendly people
- Free beer poured by the brewers themselves
- Butchery contest with flying meat
- Kara's Cupcakes
- Drinking raw milk for the first time
- Courteous, east-bay crowd
I can't wait until next year. I think this was their first one, so hopefully the amazingness will continue.
