Chinatown

Pingu's hotel in SF was just next to Chinatown. Pingu had dinner there twice. One time it was not so tasty and the other time it was very good. Pingu wished he knew about the good place earlier!

Origami

In Japantown there was this Origami shop which has a small exhibition. Pingu was quite impresed with this dragon. Note that it is only one piece of paper and no cutting allowed!

Lunch in Japantown

Pingu and a colleague went over to Japantown to have some lunch. It was tasty since Pinga gave Pingu a good recommendation. Afterwards they walked around a bit.

S:t Patrick's day

Pingu arrived in SF just in time to see S:t Patrick's day celebrations. Plenty of green everywhere. There was a block party next to the hotel so quite noisy though.

Palm trees and cable cars

Pingu was lucky with the weather. Sunny and nice. This is the obligatory cable car photo taken by Union square.

World famous Swedish pancakes

Pingu went to have breakfast at Sears Fine Food close to Union square. They had Swedish pancaked on the menu so Pingu could not resist. They even wrote that they were world famous. They were served with lingonberries. Looks tasty!

The Streets of San Francisco

Pingu just came home from a week long business trip to San Francisco. Unfortunately he did not have a SD card reader so he could not blog from over there. Instead today there will be many blogs from the past week. Enjoy!

Anpan & ringopan あんパンとりんごパン

"An" in Japanese is sweet red bean paste. "Ringo" is apple. Pinga has baked two kinds of buns. Pinga was happy as they turned out to be more fluffy than last time.

Pinga's dinner

Pinga made two kinds of asparagus rolls. As they are Pingu's favourite, Pinga was wondering how Pingu's doing in California. Pinga made too much and couldn't finish all of them.

Ikea

Pinga is at Ikea with her friend. She's checking rocking chairs but they just had two of them.

Kiwi cake

Pinga made a kiwi cake for the first time and it turned out to be tasty.

Pingu goes to San Francisco

Pingu is at Copenhagen airport soon to go to San Francisco via Frankfurt. He is missing Pinga already.

Craftsman visiting

I'm hiding underneath the kitchen table as the craftsman is here drilling a lot!

Baby things

Pingu and Pinga received a lot of baby stuff from their friends yesterday. Pinga sorted them while Pingu was helping the craftsman. Pinga thought baby clothes are cute and small!

Raspberry creamcheese buns

Pinga was very happy to see how these buns turned out. It tasted good too (according to Pinga)!

Sunshine!

Although the outside temperature is still low, 2C degrees, it's very nice and sunny today and I am sun bathing.

Totoro baby goods

Pingu found these when he was in Tokyo. Pinga thinks I look like Totoro. That is fine as long as that means I am cute.

The other new carpet

Here I am enjoying the other new carpet which is in the hall way. Pingu picked it while the other one was Pinga's choice.

The Furminator

Pingu and Pinga got a nice gift from their friend. It is a cat comb called the furminator. As you can see it is quite efficient. Maybe time to make a carpet from my hair?

Snow plow

Pingu and Pinga had a lunch in town. This snow plow was parked at a normal parking lot and Pinga thought it's interesting. You can't find snow plow in a parking lot in Tokyo.
