some long winded range review....



or not. 
i will tell you this about Range on valencia st. in san francisco - it's amazing. great food (we had a small salad - that they gave to us, we think, because of our insane cab ride over - that had a light dressing on it that was amazing. i had some mushroom and goat cheese filled ravioli that had a citrus taste in the buttery sauce that was maybe the best ravioli i have ever had. ailsa had leeks with a poached egg and aged cheddar. for the main ailsa had california swordfish with sweet potato, escarole, portobella mushrooms and a grain mustard sauce (menu listing...) that was great and i had a oven roasted chicken with spaetzel, pancetta, baby broccoli rabe, fromage blanc and arugula-pistachio pistou (from the menu)... 
anyhow...it was awesome. my pal laurie and her girlfriend gizelle showed up - she is the manager of range - bought us a couple of drinks and had a short chit chat...so great to see them. 
yesterday was roaming around, drinking some coffee, getting the garbs his giants t-shirt, me a new hat, some odds and ends...then dinner at pancho villa. so great. ailsa was loving her prawn quesadilla...then home to relax and watch some bad tv. 
there's a ongoing protest across the street at another hotel that wakes us around seven every morning. no wake up call needed...


ok we're off to get a snack. (blue bottle coffee already in us..)
