Thumbtack's Food is Good

Ants climbing a tree

That’s what this dish is called. Let that one knock around in your head for a bit.

The weather turned crap for one day so we could have this:

Roasted red pepper and tomato soup with open faced grilled cheese and salad. I feel a food coma coming on here.

Salmon, the scourge of Earth

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 11:19:13 -0700

‘tis a scourge no longer!

I'd sat-ay that this is pretty damn tasty

Fri, 16 Sep 2011 12:48:22 -0700

Heyooooo! Chicken with satay sauce over rice with asian green salad.

A bevy of flavors

Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:51:00 -0700

Sounds like an 80’s band name. Marinated chicken kabobs with yogurt sauce, salad and eggplant puree. Light, and nutritious!

Not suitable for a wedding cake

Salmon cakes with tartar sauce were on the cards.

When our resident vegetarian is out, we get decadence

He should go on vacation more often. (Panzanella salad and steak.)

Miss me?

I missed you too chicken. It’s been far too long.

We found these noodles drunk on the street.

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 13:23:48 -0700

Being good samaritans, we put the noodles through rehab (thai-style chicken soup) and then ate them. Good stuff.

What else can I say about fajitas that I haven't already said?

Wed, 20 Jul 2011 13:22:36 -0700

If you say something bad about this fajita’s mother, it will fight you.

Itsa spicy-a meatball

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:24:34 -0700

Well, not really. In fact it’s not spicy at all. But it sure was good, man.

The ol' risotteroo-hah

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:23:35 -0700

I don’t think I’ve ever had risotto with sausage in it before - now I have. Sausage pea risotto, mm mm good.

Summer fog, a perfect time for soup

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 11:21:04 -0700

‘twas a healthy lunch yesterday for we had hot and sour soup with tofu and a vegetable stirfry with more tofu. Hooray for soy!

A great excuse to bust out the chopsticks

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:03:32 -0700

Scallion noodles with shrimp and tofu along with pickled carrots and cucumber. Awesome.

The best kind of salad

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 13:02:32 -0700

The kind where it’s mostly meat (kidding). Taco salad was on the menu along with mexican street corn.

Swam upstream into our stomachs

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:27:47 -0700

Thank you Mr. Salmon. (That’s a fruit salsa on top plus a farro salad in the back with various vegetables and buffalo mozzarella.)

Burning through saffron like it's going out of style

Dinner on Wednesday consisted of a Moroccan-style chickpea stew. Thus, the hunger-beast that is Thumbtack was sated.

San Francisco is schizo this week

Fri, 01 Jul 2011 13:22:28 -0700

Earlier this week it was rainy as hell and cold. Thus we were gifted tortilla soup. Today it’s gorgeous. (Not complaining)

We were promised gnocchi, but delivered tortellini

Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:32:24 -0700

I can live with that though. (Though I do love gnocchi.)

A tart that is savory as H-E-double-hockeysticks

Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:19:34 -0700

Little bit o’ eggplant, little bit o’ cheese, little bit o’ zucchini. Oh yeah! Like the koolaid man.
