A Photoblog on what goes into Queenkv's Tummy
Original post on my Eurotrip Photoblog
In St. Petersburg, I had issues ordering vodka.
At a cafe near my hotel, I told the server I wanted to sample their vodka. She looked horrified and said she didn’t understand English. I thought this was odd since we managed to go through my orders for an appetizer, dinner entree and a cocktail.
“So sorry,” she said, refusing to offer any selections on what some people call Russia’s national drink. I gave up and asked for the bill.
A few weekends ago – we had a preview of Summertime in the Bay Area. As we waited for the meat on the grill, I sipped on vodka cocktails under sunny skies in Oakland – meeting new friends at a birthday BBQ at Scott’s house.
We got the pickled string beans for our New Year’s Day Bloody Mary’s from Scott’s garden. On this weekend, he introduced us to his new garden project – growing hops.
He ordered the seedlings online. He prepped the area near what looked like a flag pole, giving them plenty of space for the vines to climb when they start rocking.
I’m looking forward to the hoppy harvest. I can’t wait to see/smell/taste the beer from this urban garden.
We spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying yummy tacos, BBQ chicken and good conversation.
Our home away from home: Davis. When we want good food, tasty drinks and a refreshing atmosphere, we got to this college town.
A few weekends ago, we enjoyed happy hour beer and hummus at the Delta of Venus.
I also enjoyed all the fresh fish at Mikuni’s in Davis. This is part of a big chain with other locations in Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.
The lunch specials on sushi rolls are huge!
