We moved, temporarily, for the week! We rented our place downtown and moved into an in-law unit in Potrero Hill. I know that’s unconventional, but Dean and I live pretty lean in that we’re not tied to our belongings and…
Never Trust a Skinny Ice-Cream Reviewer
But trust you must because I am the queen bee of San Francisco ice-cream, although I cannot say I’ve tried them all (i.e., Swensen’s on Polk). If all the ice-cream shops were lined up in one place and I had…
