The Men Of China Hill
Tumblr media
One doesn’t usually see hills within prison walls.  Prisons are customarily built upon flat ground. This allows the surrounding gun towers to have a clear, steady line of sight upon the perimeter, ensuring a clear shot towards any desperate convicts who might choose to make a break for the wall.  Folsom Prison, unique in so many ways, is perhaps the only prison in America to have a hill within its walls.  Called China Hill, it sits nestled within the Western bend of Folsom’s granite walls, peering down upon the compound below.
Rumor has it that China Hill was named after the migrant workers who helped build Folsom Prison.  They quarried the granite stones into the one-ton blocks that eventually became the formidable, 30-foot wall that would envelop the notorious prison for the criminally insane.  In the late 1920‘s, once the work of quarrying was completed and the wall erected, China Hill became the only open land within the walls of Folsom.
Historically, food grown for an inmate population was either tilled on land outside the prison, where low-security inmates could be used for labor, or purchased from local growers.  China Hill presented a unique opportunity to the prisoners of Folsom.  Because it was located within the perimeter, the high security prisoners, accustomed to labor in confined areas, could be used to grow fruits and vegetables in order to supplement the meals in the chow hall.
The hill was terraced and fruit trees were planted.  Depending upon how one chooses to define employment, inmates were hired or forced to till the soil and grow squash, peppers, tomatoes, peas, corn, lettuce, pumpkins, and beans.   It was a win-win situation for the prison authorities: cheap labor with subsequently cheap food, and happy inmates who had the opportunity to perform fruitful labor outside their 40 square foot cells.  This mutually beneficial arrangement remained in place for many decades.
By the time I got to Folsom Prison in 2007, there were no longer any fruit trees on China Hill, and it was covered with the knee-high grass typical of the Sierra Nevada foothills.  The stories as to why inmate agriculture on China Hill was shut down vary and they depend upon the people telling the story.
According to inmates, there was an incident that happened on China Hill in the late 1990’s.  A dispute between two drunk convicts eventually led one to kill the other with a shovel, and the man who perished bled beneath the shade of one of the hill’s many fruit trees.  The guard in the gun tower adjacent to China Hill said that he may have been able to stop the incident, or, at the very least, get medical attention to the victim, were he able to see what was going on.  Instead, the incident went unnoticed by the gunner, thanks, in part, to the restricted view through the trees.  As a result, the trees were cut down.  Some inmates think the trees were cut down simply because prison officials were tired of the convicts making pruno, prison wine, and the best way to stop that was to remove their unregulated access to fruit.
Undoubtedly, these stories have an element of truth in them, though they do not explain why inmates weren’t allowed to continue growing low-lying vegetables like squash and beans.  My guess, if I were to make one, is that China Hill could no longer support the increasing prison population, and, simultaneously, it became cheaper to purchase food from the industrial food market.  All of these circumstances combined and resulted in the closure of China Hill to prison agriculture.  This doesn’t mean, however, that China Hill ceased to produce food.
My first job at Folsom Prison was as a landscaper, and I was assigned to the unit atop China Hill.  There were about twenty of us up there and our job pretty much entailed weed-whacking.  China Hill was covered with grass and weeds and it was our assignment to make sure that it didn’t get out of control, i.e. tall.  Our work day was a bit longer than 6 hours, yet we were only expected to work for two or three of them.  For the remainder of the day, the guard, who was our supervisor, would let us do whatever we wanted.  And that included gardening.
Technically, we weren’t allowed to garden, but that didn’t stop us from doing it.  The unspoken agreement between the guard and the inmates was that we would keep China Hill from becoming a jungle and he would pretend that he didn’t see any of our vegetables growing there.  It was fine enough motivation to keep the guys working.
The vegetables we grew were few, and none of them made their way into the chow hall’s meals.  We had squash, chile peppers, bell peppers, watermelon, green onions, and tomatoes.  China Hill was divided up into sectors, just like the prison yard.  Black guys had the land in one spot, the Southsiders in another, the white boys near the Southsiders, and the Others near the Blacks.  It sounds very divisive and, in a way, it was, but at the same time it was peaceful.
If the Blacks didn’t have squash seeds, they could trade with the whites for them.  If the Southsiders wanted to eat some peppers with their burritos, they could trade a watermelon to the others.  Food on China Hill, just as throughout the entire prison system, was the currency of trade.  It just so happened that our food was good, it was fresh, and we grew it.  Top Ramen may have purchased myself a cigarette in the cellblock, but it wouldn’t get me a pepper on China Hill.
The guys on the yard would get jealous when we’d tell them how we’d eaten watermelon that day.  Many of the men we lived with hadn’t tasted a watermelon, a bell pepper, or a squash in decades.  We, the men of China Hill, knew that we had something special, but there was no way it could be shared with the rest of Folsom’s population.  Any food we grew was strictly prohibited from leaving China Hill and we were stripped naked on the way back to the cellblock in order to ensure that it remained that way.  Bend, squat, cough.
There was another aspect of working on China Hill that wasn’t usually shared with the fellas on the yard, which nonetheless made it one of the best jobs in Folsom Prison.  It was the peace.  It was the potential for solitude.  It was the lack of noise.  It was the feeling of belonging to the Earth, and having a small part of it belong to me, to us.
My plot was about a 30 foot by 30 foot square and I had dug small irrigation trenches all about it to make watering easy.  When I would get to the hill in the morning,  I would turn the water on at the spigot and let it fill the trenches slowly while I went off to work.  When I was finished a few hours later, I would bring my lunch down to my plot, sit on the bare earth, and watch the plants grow.  I’d watch the bees go from one orange, squash blossom to another, and I’d watch hornets pick up little balls of mud from the edges of the trenches and carry them off to their homes.  I’d pinch any dead leaves off my plants and place my watermelons and squash on beds of rocks to keep them from getting rotten on their undersides.
And I would just sit.  From the bare patch of dirt in my garden, I could look over the wall to the south and see the free world outside.  I could look over the electrified fence on the northern perimeter and see the river and the granite cliffs it had carved out over many millennia.  I could feel the wind and place my hands in the mud.  From China Hill I could see the horizon, something very few prisoner ever get to see.  These were moments of peace.  My time with the vegetables was also the only time I had to myself because once I left China Hill for the day I had to reenter the world below me.  I had to return to the cacophony that was the cellblock, the yard, and the restrictive space that was my cell.
One day, an announcement was made to the men of China Hill.  The gate that we normally passed through in order to get to and from work was going to be undergoing construction and we’d be forced to use a different one.  Initially, this didn’t seem like a big deal, but it became a big deal once we started to use the detour gate.
They stopped strip searching us at the new gate.  We just received a pat down.   That’s it.  Because of the wide-open nature of the temporary gate, the guards were unable to strip us out of our clothes before letting us back into the cellblocks.  Imagine our excitement.
Suddenly, bell peppers started making their way into the cuisines being cooked in Folsom’s cells.  Fresh jalapenos were included in homemade burritos.  Lifers had a watermelon for the first time in decades and, for many of them, the last time in their lives.  My cellee and I watched “Prison Break” on t.v. and munched on fresh peas.  One cell even had a small pumpkin in it, sitting atop the bookshelf, perhaps reminiscent of the occupant’s fall decorations back home.
We were never able to smuggle enough vegetables for entire meals.  We smuggled in morsels. We smuggled in happiness.  We smuggled in the momentary taste of freshness.  We smuggled in the rekindling of long-lost memories...taste-memories, memories of freedom, memories of the last time somebody had eaten this vegetable or that.  We smuggled in something worth sharing.
The vegetable smuggling lasted for maybe one or two months.  I was transferred to a different job in the welding shop shortly before the newly constructed gate was completed, at which point the strip searching resumed.  But for those four months, the men of China Hill brought the farmer’s market down to the cellblock. I bet there’s still a few men in Folsom Prison today who joyfully recall the last time they ate a watermelon.  They ate it in their cell and, for that moment, they were free again.

Traveling and exploring the outdoors are definite favorites of mine (tied with music, of course); but there are so many places to go and things to see with limited time that planning can be time consuming.  It’s hard making decisions on what to see when we want to do it all.
This trip, we were lucky enough to have family living in California, who provided local insight and created this perfect “Taste of California” itinerary: visiting Sacramento, Folsom Lake, Lake Tahoe, Napa Valley and San Francisco.  Brief highlights and pictures of the places and restaurants we visited are included next, all highly recommended. Hope you find something you will enjoy when traveling!
SACRAMENTO
First Stop:  A visit to the  historic town of Old Sacramento shortly after our plan landed, we had lunch on the stationary historic riverboat located on the Sacramento River, the Delta King and drove around Old Sacramento to sightsee.
Capital Park    Capital Park is home to the California Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial and landscaped with numerous varieties of trees, plants and flowers native to California. Of course after the park we had to get Gelato.
We also visited the Sacramento Choral Society to hear the music of Downton Abbey, after having dinner at the nearby Esquire Grill.
Folsom Lake
The sun rises over the lake, but unfortunately I took some wrong turns and didn’t make it there early enough. The lake level was down in March to accommodate the future snow melt, but it was gorgeous even with low lake levels.  There are bike and walking trails leading to the State Park and lake, as well as a nearby bike rental place, perfect for morning exercise and exploring!
Lake Tahoe
Definitely a highlight of the trip!  The weather turned beautiful when we visited.
Before arriving at Lake Tahoe, we stopped at this cute place with Chalets banked along the rushing water of the South Yuba River:  Rainbow Lodge; so picturesque!

Arriving at Lake Tahoe…ready for lunch…must stop at Garwoods!
Look at this lunch view!
Garwoods at Lake Tahoe
Garwoods at Lake Tahoe- that view!
Squaw Valley Ski Resort…next stop
Resort at Squaw Creek– the perfect place to relax and enjoy the views!  Very quiet in March if you are looking for privacy!
Empire Mine:  (Grass Valley, CA)
Learn about the Gold Rush, see the estate and visit the mine.
Napa Valley – off to the wineries
Lunch first at Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch
Sterling Vineyards : the tram ride is unique from other area wineries. Sterling Vineyards is elevated and tucked into the mountainside whereas other vineyards we passed were in the flatter valley areas.
Beringer Estates: Tour the cave and the oldest continuous running winery in Napa Valley; they didn’t even close during prohibition because they provided wine to the Catholic church for communion!
The Harvest Inn – a relaxing place to stay after visiting the wineries and excellent dinner!
From Napa to San Francisco stopping for lunch in Larkspur, CA at  “Left Bank Larkspur Braserie”
San Francisco Arrival….it was a wet one!
but cleared for us to enjoy a beautiful setting and dinner at Sutro’s at the Cliff House
The next day cleared and we took the tour by water of the San Francisco Bay area,  the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, and the Oakland Bridge then had lunch at the Crab House at Pier 39, then visited China Beach, Golden Gate Park, and had diner at the Beach Chalet Brewery & Restaurant to watch the Sunset.

  This itinerary worked perfectly and we didn’t feel rushed, still had time to relax and enjoy the places we visited on the “Taste of Cali” trip!
A Taste of Cali: 5 cities! Traveling and exploring the outdoors are definite favorites of mine (tied with music, of course); but there are so many places to go and things to see with limited time that planning can be time consuming.

Welcome to Saturday Snippets were anything goes…whatever catches my eye or my imagination could be on this post…something for everyone…I hope so…so whatever your timezone grab a coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy!
Everyone knows how I love to cook and I am pretty good now at cooking Asian food I have had a few years practise and practise makes perfect…Fried Rice …all the chefs are making fried rice some better than others…my grandson showed me this video and although there are a few foofs in it it is funny…so just a little warning there are a few profanities personally I  am not given to profanities myself but I found this very funny…I give you Uncle Roger reviewing for want of a better word Jamie Olivers Fried Rice…
Personally, I will never eat fried rice for a while without thinking of Uncle Roger…
How many boys ask for a metal detector I know Aston did as did my sons they took them to the beach, the local woods and parks and unearthed a few things but mostly nothing of any worth…This young Irish lad however like my boys started out with a dream and that dream became a reality when he unearthed a Historic Irish Sword as he was prospecting along a local river bank…How often does that happen?
Sadly Johnny Cash passed away on September 12th 2003…he was an American Singer and Songwriter who fired up country and western music…raised in the rural South he grew up listening to songs of work and lament, hymns and folk ballads it wasn’t until he joined the army that he learnt to play the guitar and write songs when he reti=urned from his military service in Germany he settled in Memphis, Tennessee with the aim of pursuing a career in music…He sang at county fairs and local events until he was signed up after auditioning with Sam Phillips of Sun Records, who signed Cash in 1955. Such songs as “Cry, Cry, Cry,” “Hey, Porter,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “I Walk the Line” brought him considerable attention, and by 1957 Cash was the top recording artist in the country and western field. His music was noted for its stripped-down sound and focus on the working poor and social and political issues. Cash, who typically wore black clothes and had a rebellious persona, became known as the “Man in Black.”
Did you know?
Elizabeth Barrett eloped with Robert Browing on September 12, 1846.
Barrett was already a respected poet who had published literary criticism and Greek translations in addition to poetry. Her first volume of poetry, The Seraphim and Other Poems appeared in 1838, followed by Poems by Elizabeth Barrett Barrett (1844). Born in 1806 near Durham, England, at her father’s 20-bedroom mansion, she enjoyed wealth and position, but suffered from weak lungs and tended to be reclusive in her youth. She became even more so after the death of her beloved brother in 1840.
Recycling is high on my agenda and especially circular recycling especially when the artist produces something like these …
I think they are spectacular I just wish I had a talent like that…Awesome use of scraps of wood…
Wellness Corner by Sally Cronin…Liver health and the Milk Thistle.

This week I have been soup making...Carrot Soup normally I stick to chicken, mushroom or tomato but this week it has been carrot soup..which was really nice very orange but a soup I would make again it needs a few tweaks and then the recipe will be in my cookbook …
#gallery-0-11 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-11 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-11 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-11 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Carrot Soup
But I will as I promised to give you the recipe for foraged wild mushroom soup…
Here in the northeast of Thailand, there are various kinds of tasty mushrooms (hed), all filled with nutrition. Three favourites are hed kay, hed tub-tao and hed ra-ngok. In the villages, these mushrooms are often prepared in a soup along with bai yangang juice (Tiliacora Triandra), sweet basil and pla-ra ( fermented) fish which is often added to the soup…
I have adapted the recipe as you would most probably not be able to get some of the ingredients or want to use them like the Pla-ra…
Ingredients:
2 cups various kinds of mushrooms
2 stalks lemongrass, lower tender portions, cut into 2-inch pieces and slightly crushed
5 – 7 each chillies, slightly crushed
3 – 5 each red shallots, slightly crushed
2 stalks spring onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tbsp pla-ra juice (liquid of pickled fish) (optional)
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 cups of water
4 – 5 sprigs Thai basil leaves
Let’s Cook!
Pour the water into a pot over the high heat. When it begins a boil, add lemongrass, chilies and shallots. Then follow by adding the mushrooms. Let simmer briefly until cooked. Season with the fish sauce and pla-ra liquid. Add  basil and spring onion. Remove from the heat.

Serve in a bowl.
Thais would also add some local vegetable called Cha-om which is a vegetable native to here… It has a particular fragrance that may seem unpleasant at first to the unaccustomed, but when it’s cooked up, it’s so tasty that most people can’t stop eating it and the aroma is just part of the package and soon becomes quite likeable.
Many Northern Thai dishes use quite sour tasting vegetables and of course Phla the fermented fish…it is a taste our western palates are not used to but if you eat it enough your taste changes and it becomes quite palatable.
Now for some music…I have selected “Million Dollar Quartet” which is a recording of an impromptu jam session with Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash …recorded on December 4th 1956 in the Sun Record Studios in Memphis Tennessee…
Impromptu jam sessions are one of my favourite kinds of music…
How young is Elvis there he must have been star struck…
That’s all for today’s Saturday Snippets I hope you have enjoyed it…xx
About Carol Taylor: 
Enjoying life in The Land Of Smiles I am having so much fun researching, finding new, authentic recipes both Thai and International to share with you. New recipes gleaned from those who I have met on my travels or are just passing through and stopped for a while. I hope you enjoy them.
I love shopping at the local markets, finding fresh, natural ingredients, new strange fruits and vegetable ones I have never seen or cooked with. I am generally the only European person and attract much attention and I love to try what I am offered and when I smile and say Aroy or Saab as it is here in the north I am met with much smiling.
Some of my recipes may not be in line with traditional ingredients and methods of cooking but are recipes I know and have become to love and maybe if you dare to try you will too. You will always get more than just a recipe from me as I love to research and find out what other properties the ingredients I use contain to improve our health and wellbeing.
Exciting for me hence the title of my blog, Retired No One Told Me! I am having a wonderful ride and don’t want to get off, so if you wish to follow me on my adventures, then welcome! I hope you enjoy the ride also and if it encourages you to take a step into the unknown or untried, you know you want to…….Then, I will be happy!
Thank you once again for reading this post I hope you all have a fabulous week and stay safe these are troubling times xx
Saturday Snippets…12th September 2020…
Welcome to Saturday Snippets were anything goes…whatever catches my eye or my imagination could be on this post…something for everyone…I hope so…so whatever your timezone grab a coffee or a glass of wine and enjoy!

There’s only one place you can drink right now: Your home. But if you’re anything like us, the only cocktail ingredients you have in your fridge is a wrinkled lime you found at the bottom of your crisper, and a questionable bottle of your friend’s homemade kombucha.
So here are places where you can order cocktails and cocktail kits with curbside pick-up and delivery via apps. Even though you can’t go drink at these places, you can still support them (and drink something great) by ordering from them. We’ll keep updating this guide with more information - so stay tuned, and stay well.
Got a spot offering cocktails for curbside service or delivery? Email us at [email protected].

Best Places for Tubing, Wakeboarding & Waterskiing After Labor Day
Even though summer vacation is officially over and school days have begun, especially if you or your children are beginners, there are still major benefits to going out on water skis, wakeboards, or towable tubes. One major factor is that the majority of the crowds are gone, which makes it easier to maneuver and to concentrate.
  Where are the best watersport destinations for late summer / early fall?
  Here are just a few suggestions...
  Daytona Beach, Florida
  Although nearing the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, this was picked because of a drier precipitation that was forecast for the Labor Day weekend and hopefully will continue. There may be an occasional shower or thunderstorm, but a total washout is not expected.
  Outer Banks, North Carolina
  With El Niño hopefully suppressing major hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, you can be pretty confident in planning a final summer vacation. The Outer Banks had a drier-than-normal and near-normal temperatures on the weekend of Labor Day.
  Virginia Beach, Virginia
  Virginia Beach gets bonus points for a temperature forecast that was slightly above normal.
  South Padre Island, Texas
  There is expected to be no shortage of hot weather in this southern Texas vacation destination.
  Shasta Lake, California
  There’s still plenty of warm weather well into fall, and a fall trip has the added benefit of discounted rates on houseboat rentals. Get more bang for your buck and more time on the water.
  Lake Havasu, California/Arizona
  Summers at Havasu can be almost too hot. There’s plenty of great weather well into fall (or even early winter) and you can avoid the crowds that gather with the good weather at spring break.
  Lake Nacimiento, California
  Can you say....”Great wine tasting nearby”??? We certainly can.
  Berryessa, Folsom, and Shasta Lakes in California
  In addition to smaller crowds, you’re likely to find some great discounted rates on houseboats on these three beautiful Californa lakes!
  A Few More Suggestions
  - Myrtle Beach - Southhampton - Cape Cod, Massachusetts area including Provincetown - Cape May, New Jersey - Marine Stadium in Long Beach, California - Lake Powell
  All Around the World
  There are many who participate in this sport in a multitude of countries including the Americas, Australia, Europe, Asia, and Africa. In just the United States, there are around 11 million water skiers and more than 900 competitions for them each year. The skiing can take place on any kind of water such as a lake, river, or ocean. Calm waters are perfect for recreational skiing.
  Learning to Water Ski?
  Skiing is a fun pastime that people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy. There is no minimum age to water ski. Young skiers usually start on special children's beginner water skis, which have two skis tied together at the front and back. You should have a qualified instructor teach the children not to stand up too quickly but stay in a crouch at first, slowly come to a standing position, and then give lessons on how to ski correctly, It is important to know that the skiing gets less awkward as one continues to do it.
  The AIRHEAD EZ SKI TRAINER
  This is an inflatable single rider hybrid with water ski trainers and ski binding. It is stable and sturdy when being towed and is easy for kids to get up on. Children board the EZ SKI from the stern or swim step of a boat and can sit on the inflated seat until they are ready to stand and ski. This trainer teaches basic skiing fundamentals such as how to stand properly, manage a rope and handle, balance and transfer weight, and more.

A Quick Guide On Planning Wine Tours Near Lake Tahoe
A trip to El Dorado County is incomplete without visiting vineyards, tasting exquisite wines, and purchasing a few bottles as souvenirs for relatives and friends. Perhaps you have wine tours near Lake Tahoe in mind but are intimidated by the thought of planning them because you have never been to wineries before. If so, it’s time to turn your dream of sipping a wine overlooking a vineyard into a reality. The following guide will help you plan a tour of vineyards and wineries.
Book in advance
Although there are many wineries near Lake Tahoe, you still want to ensure that you don’t face last-minute disappointments. Many wineries have limited availability, so booking in advance is wise, especially if you plan the tour during the busiest months of the year.
Create a list of wineries
Search for a winery near Folsom, and you will get dozens of names flashing on your screen. Since you can’t visit each of them during your trip to El Dorado County, creating a list of wineries you might be interested in is best. We suggest looking for wineries with historical sites where you can learn how a legacy has been preserved generation after generation.
Visit no more than three wineries a day
The last thing you want to do is create an itinerary that leaves little room for enjoyment. If you want to make the most of your vacation days and wine tours, keep your itinerary to two to three wineries. Many wine-makers love having conversations with their guests—telling them about the variety of grapes in their vineyards and the wine-making process—besides organizing wine-tasting events.
Book a ride
Arranging a ride is better than driving on your own when visiting a winery. After tasting multiple varieties of wines, getting drunk is expected. Before your visit, you can also connect with wineries to know if they provide hotel transfers. Even if they don’t, they will likely suggest a private car service for safe pick-ups and drop-offs.
Make the most out of your wine tours
Many wineries near Lake Tahoe offer unique dining experiences. Take advantage of their outdoor dining areas to enjoy gourmet foods and spectacular vineyard views while sipping wine.
Wine tours near Lake Tahoe and Folsom are fun and relaxing. Plan your vacation and make the most of your experiences.

San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings added to Google Docs
San Francisco’s New Restaurant Openings
If you tried to keep track of every brand new restaurant in San Francisco, your head would feel like it was on a tilt-a-whirl. So just read this list instead. These are the new restaurant openings that seem like they have the most potential - although keep in mind, for the ones we haven’t tried, we make no promises. Go forth and be a pioneer.
We’ll be regularly updating this post. Once we’ve checked out a spot, we’ll add a note if it makes it onto our Hit List.
MARCH 2020 Hahdough $$$$ 1221 Fell St
The owner of Hahdough spent years selling cakes at farmer’s markets before opening this bakery in NoPa. The new cafe on Fell St. makes black forest and Bienenstich “bee sting” cakes, plus smaller things like German donuts and pretzels. And, of course, there’s coffee too.
February 2020 Tacos Super Monilla $$$$ 800 W Tower Ave.
The people behind this food truck in Alameda used to own a taqueria in Mexico City, and they also have a catering business they run to this day - so they’re definitely not short on experience. The truck specializes in tacos al pastor and is one of the only spots in the Bay Area roasting pork on a trompo vertical spit. They also have carne asada, tortas, and quesabirrias.
Devil’s Teeth Baking Company $$$$ 3619 Balboa St
There’s now a second place in San Francisco to get the legendary Devil’s Teeth breakfast sandwich. The recently opened spot is in the former Marla Bakery space in the Richmond. In addition to all the original hits, the new location serves wood-fired pizza and has a back patio to enjoy if the weather is nice.
Maison Danel $$$$ 1030 Polk St
Maison Danel is bringing something new to the Tendernob: afternoon tea. Tuesday through Sunday from 2:30-6pm, this new patisserie on Polk St. does full tea service with vintage pots and spreads of pastries and finger sandwiches.
Creola $$$$ 900 Stanyan St
The original Creola in San Carlos has been around for nearly 25 years, and now they’ve brought their Louisiana-style cooking to Cole Valley. The small menu has takes on New Orleans classics like fried boudin balls, wild mushroom jambalaya, and bacon-wrapped oysters.
Insomnia Cookies $$$$ 362 Kearny St.
This New York-based chain serves cookies, brownies, and ice cream until 3am - and, yes, that includes ice cream sandwiches. Insomnia also delivers, so the next time you’re up at 2am and open the door to your empty fridge, you can have cookies and ice cream at your house in minutes.
Glazier $$$$ 414 Sutter St
This Los Gatos-based rolled ice cream shop opened their first San Francisco location on Sutter St. If you find yourself in Union Square, you could go to Glazier and get some dessert.
 Jeremy Chiu Viridian $$$$ 2216 Broadway
The talented folks behind Rich Table, Mister Jiu’s, and Lazy Bear have opened up a gorgeous new cocktail bar in Uptown Oakland. Drinks like the Honey Walnut Ron focus on using local and seasonal ingredients, while their food is a mix of small plates and dim sum-style desserts such as black sesame chocolate cake.
 Shake Shack $ $ $ $ American ,  Burgers  in  Cow Hollow $$$$ 3060 Fillmore St Not
Rated
Yet
San Francisco proper finally has its own Shake Shack, and it’s in a huge location in Cow Hollow. If you’ve never had this New York-based burger chain before, order their classic Shackburger smashburger, the fried chicken sandwich, or a hotdog. This spot also has a special San Francisco-themed menu which includes the Golden State Double (with two grass-fed beef patties and smoked garlic aioli), and frozen custards with mix-ins from B. Patisserie and Dough XX.
We checked out Shake Shack, and put it on our Hit List
January 2020 Rise & Grind $$$$ 2598 Folsom St
Rise & Grind has been serving coffee in the Richmond since 2016, and now they have a second location in the Mission. The new spot has the same breakfast and lunch menu, including specialty coffee drinks like the Whopper Latte with malted milk chocolate. In addition to avocado toast, which you can find everywhere in the city, Rise & Grind has their own versions with ube jam.
Kitchen Story $$$$ 5422 College Ave
People in Rockridge can now get their fix of Millionaire’s Bacon at Kitchen Story on College Ave. The new spot is open for brunch and dinner, but unlike the original Kitchen Story in the Castro - which focuses on Thai dishes - this one emphasizes Korean food.
Bonita Taqueria Y Rotisserie $$$$ 16th Street
This second location of Bonita Taqueria Y Rotisserie in the Castro recently opened in the old Squat & Gobble space. They serve tacos, burritos, and rotisserie chickens, just like their Marina spot, but this new location is open for brunch. Between 9am and 3pm, you can get things like tres leches french toast, chilaquiles, and breakfast tacos.
 Alley Kitchens $$$$ 2309 Telegraph Ave
Cal students now have multiple new dining options with Alley Kitchens. The new spot on Telegraph Ave. looks like a street food alley in Japan, and currently has three vendors in the space: one for ramen, one for rice bowls and chawanmushi, and another that serves matcha drinks. They’ll add more vendors in the future.
BOILEROOM $$$$ 2475 Telegraph Ave
The Berkeley space that was formerly home to the iconic Caffe Mediterraneum is reopening as Boileroom, a Taiwanese hotpot restaurant. Unlike a lot of hotpot places, Boileroom serves individual portions, so you don’t have to text everyone in your contact list when you just want some soup. And if you’re still hungry when your meal is over, they serve rolled ice cream and fresh fruit for dessert.
East Bay Provisions $$$$ 41 Tunnel Rd.
East Bay Provisions recently opened in the historic Claremont Hotel in Berkeley. The new cafe serves mostly small items like quiche, muffaletta sandwiches, and cheese boards. It’s open to the general public, so even if you’re not staying at the hotel, you can still enjoy some breakfast and coffee.
Wild Rabbit $$$$ 3249 Grand Ave
One of Grand Lake’s newest additions is Wild Rabbit, which offers a large selection of baked goods, from scones and canelés to cinnamon rolls and quiche. It was started by a baker from Arizmendi on Lakeshore, so if you feel like doing a taste test between the two, they’re less than a half mile from each other.
The House of Perpetual Refreshment $$$$ 2410 Valdez St
San Diego’s Modern Times Beer has seven taprooms all throughout the West Coast, each one with a different design aesthetic. Their newer one near Lake Merritt in Oakland looks like a psychedelic sherbert factory with bright-colored walls and trippy designs covering the bar. This place also has 34 beers on tap to choose from as well as cold brew, both of which you can buy and take home with you.
 Indie Superette $$$$ 3060 Fillmore St
This is the only healthy food-minded place to open up in Cow Hollow recently, which means they’re still outnumbered by gyms, 5 to 1. Superette is owned by Michael Mina, and functions as both a cafe and a wellness store where you can order from their menu of keto-friendly and adaptogenic smoothies, acai bowls, and vegan sandwiches including their Notorious IVB burger made from beets. The one challenge to their meat-free mission - it’s located inside the new Shake Shack in the Cow Hollow.
Floodwater $$$$ 152 Shoreline Hwy
Floodwater in Mill Valley is a huge new gastropub with a 30-seat bar and multiple rooms you can rent out for private functions. If you’re a fan of sports, there are a bunch of TVs to watch games while you eat everything from Vietnamese chicken wings and pizzas to homemade currywurst.
Bizzy's Dry Bar $$$$ 2930 Telegraph Ave
Bizzy’s is a mocktail bar on Telegraph Ave. serving imitations of classic cocktails like a Hack and Coke made with non-alcoholic whiskey, or a Kalimotxo made with dealcoholized wine and cola. They also have their own lineup of specialty drinks like a spicy mojito mixed with muddled peppers, mint, and sugar. If you’re trying to drink less - and be able to drive home at the end of a night - this could be a great option.
Malibu's Burgers $$$$ Lakeshore Ave & E 18th St
One of the newest food trucks in Oakland is Malibu’s Burgers (you can usually find them on the east side of Lake Merritt). They serve only plant-based proteins, so expect Impossible and Beyond meat patties with different combinations of vegan toppings like Follow Your Heart cheese.
Yokozuna Ramen Tavern $$$$ 1968 Lombard St
Yokozuna serves ramen alongside Southern fried chicken and waffles. Like most other ramen joints, this Marina spot offers different types of broth (though, we don’t see BBQ shoyu broth all too often) and a ton of add-ons like fried garlic and sweet corn. If that’s not enough, you can also get sides of karaage fried chicken, vegetable gyoza, and pork buns.
Sababa $$$$ 71 Stevenson St Ste 100
If you work in SoMa, you no longer have to journey all the way to the Financial District to get Sababa for lunch. At Sababa’s third location on Stevenson St., you can get your fill of Israeli street food like falafel stuffed pitas, bowls, and rice plates.
Matcha Cafe Maiko $$$$ 754 Grant Ave
There’s now a third location of Matcha Cafe Maiko in San Francisco, this time in Chinatown. The Japanese chain will continue to offer a large menu of sweet treats, but the main draw is still matcha desserts like soft-serve, shaved ice, and parfaits.
 Fisher Loft @ PalihouseSF $$$$ 417 Stockton St
This new place inside the Palihotel on Stockton is set up as an all-day cafe. They’re currently serving breakfast in the morning, and switch to burgers, sandwiches, and cocktails in the afternoon. By February, they plan on having a full dinner menu and caviar service up and running.
 Gap Year At Nico $$$$ 710 Montgomery St.
The owners of Nico in the Financial District are taking a one-year hiatus, but the restaurant isn’t shutting down. Instead, it’s turning into Gap Year, a temporary French restaurant run by the team from The Morris. You can choose their tasting menu ($145 for six courses) or order a la carte. Either way, expect to see things like quail consomme ravioli and duck pithivier.
Mamahuhu $$$$ 517 Clement St
This is the third place from the team behind Mister Jiu’s and Moongate Lounge. Unlike its predecessors, Mamahuhu is focused on more affordable Chinese-American dishes like kung pao chicken and broccoli and beef.
 Scott Granlund Daily Driver $$$$ 1 Ferry Building
A much smaller location of Daily Driver recently opened as a pop up inside the Ferry Building. The menu is shrunk down, too, with coffee and an assortment of bagels with toppings and spreads. If you’re looking for something for lunch, you can get a pretzel or a bagel dog covered in everything spice.

Best Places for Tubing, Wakeboarding & Waterskiing After Labor Day
Even though summer vacation is officially over and school days have begun, especially if you or your children are beginners, there are still major benefits to going out on water skis, wakeboards, or towable tubes. One major factor is that the majority of the crowds are gone, which makes it easier to maneuver and to concentrate.
  Where are the best watersport destinations for late summer / early fall?
  Here are just a few suggestions...
  Daytona Beach, Florida
  Although nearing the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, this was picked because of a drier precipitation that was forecast for the Labor Day weekend and hopefully will continue. There may be an occasional shower or thunderstorm, but a total washout is not expected.
  Outer Banks, North Carolina
  With El Niño hopefully suppressing major hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, you can be pretty confident in planning a final summer vacation. The Outer Banks had a drier-than-normal and near-normal temperatures on the weekend of Labor Day.
  Virginia Beach, Virginia
  Virginia Beach gets bonus points for a temperature forecast that was slightly above normal.
  South Padre Island, Texas
  There is expected to be no shortage of hot weather in this southern Texas vacation destination.
  Shasta Lake, California
  There’s still plenty of warm weather well into fall, and a fall trip has the added benefit of discounted rates on houseboat rentals. Get more bang for your buck and more time on the water.
  Lake Havasu, California/Arizona
  Summers at Havasu can be almost too hot. There’s plenty of great weather well into fall (or even early winter) and you can avoid the crowds that gather with the good weather at spring break.
  Lake Nacimiento, California
  Can you say....”Great wine tasting nearby”??? We certainly can.
  Berryessa, Folsom, and Shasta Lakes in California
  In addition to smaller crowds, you’re likely to find some great discounted rates on houseboats on these three beautiful Californa lakes!
  A Few More Suggestions
  - Myrtle Beach - Southhampton - Cape Cod, Massachusetts area including Provincetown - Cape May, New Jersey - Marine Stadium in Long Beach, California - Lake Powell
  All Around the World
  There are many who participate in this sport in a multitude of countries including the Americas, Australia, Europe, Asia, and Africa. In just the United States, there are around 11 million water skiers and more than 900 competitions for them each year. The skiing can take place on any kind of water such as a lake, river, or ocean. Calm waters are perfect for recreational skiing.
  Learning to Water Ski?
  Skiing is a fun pastime that people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy. There is no minimum age to water ski. Young skiers usually start on special children's beginner water skis, which have two skis tied together at the front and back. You should have a qualified instructor teach the children not to stand up too quickly but stay in a crouch at first, slowly come to a standing position, and then give lessons on how to ski correctly, It is important to know that the skiing gets less awkward as one continues to do it.
  The AIRHEAD EZ SKI TRAINER
  This is an inflatable single rider hybrid with water ski trainers and ski binding. It is stable and sturdy when being towed and is easy for kids to get up on. Children board the EZ SKI from the stern or swim step of a boat and can sit on the inflated seat until they are ready to stand and ski. This trainer teaches basic skiing fundamentals such as how to stand properly, manage a rope and handle, balance and transfer weight, and more.
