HANGING WITH THE BOYS FROM BOSTON

We were pretty busy a few weeks ago. Not only were Cathy and Ben visiting, but Big Ed and Harin were also in from Boston to attend a wedding in the Bay Area. Even though they stayed at our place, we didn't get to spend much time with them since they were otherwise occupied with all different wedding related activities. However, on the Monday before they left, we were able to hang out together and visit the Ferry Building. We also met up with Sue Min and Nate there.

The Ferry Building is packed with all types of places to eat, so we decided to take on a grazing tactic and visit a number of different vendors. They first one that we stopped off at was the famed Hog Island Oyster. It was beautiful day, so we sat outside:

Harin and Ed ordered a number of items from the menu which we all ended up sharing. We were given some rolls and butter...

And then we were left to wait. It was kinda surprising that the food ended up taking so long, since half of it was raw. But it showed up after a while. They boys ordered a dozen different oysters:

And though I didn't partake, they thoroughly enjoyed it. They also ordered some oysters casino and some clams. Meanwhile, I ordered some fresh sardines:

And they were really excellent. I love really fresh sardines, because they end up with only a slight fishiness.

After Hog Island, the boys got some charcuterie, bread and cheese. While they sat aside Taylor's Automatic Refresher enjoying their snacks, I got an order of chicken fingers and sweet potato fries. Overall, we had a fun time just hanging out and eat. Harin said that I really do know how to eat, and I responded, it's one of the fews things I'm truly good at.
