I promised you a picture of my decorated Hoosier cabinet that is on display in my dining area. When company comes, it will double as a buffet table. But for now, it is the focal point of my dining area and quite the conversation starter.

Knead: A Bakery in the Mission District of San Francisco
While watching the Cooking Channel, I saw Knead bakery, found in the Mission District, being featured as the place to go when you are in San Francisco. While Karla and I were there, I made sure that we went there for a fabulous brunch. It was just a short bus ride away from Fisherman’s Wharf. The Mission District is full of culture and plenty of interesting sights to see. Check out this mural. Just one of many found on building walls.
Knead was tucked away on a side street surrounded by a world of culture.
This eatery is a place your order at the counter and they will bring it to your table sort of place, which creates a perfectly relaxed atmosphere for diners. Karla and I both had the spinach and eggs on brioche, which was out of this world.
Then of course, I had to have the Pomme d’amore which was the main feature on the Cooking Channel episode that I watched. I was not a disappointment at all! The crispy pastry crust created a pillow in which the egg custard filling could nest. The top of the custard was protected by a thin layer of crispy sugar which was texturally delightful with each bite. This place is a must when you are in San Francisco!
Retro Find at the Paisley Parasol
Today, I went shopping at Macy’s and found so many bargains. I can’t tell you how much I love their One Day Sale. I found the perfect dress to wear to my beau’s 30th birthday bash next weekend. I would like to give a shout-out to my personal shopper, my mom, for helping me find the perfect ensemble for me to wear.
On our way home from the mall, we stopped at this store called the Paisley Parasol. The owner was incredibly warm and welcoming. She personally invites all of her customers to come in and browse around. Little did I know when I walked in there that I would be walking away with this new Retro kitchen cabinet. It was a steal at $299 and free delivery. She has amazing prices that you just can’t pass up!
It fits perfectly in my dining area and I plan on using it as a small buffet table when I have a crowd of guests over for a party. Who knows what parties I will be holding in the future but I sure look forward to using this new piece. In the meantime, I am going to fill it up with some of my favorite things to put on display for everyone to see. I’ll show you the finished display when it is completed!
