San Francisco: Little Star Pizza

Oh twinkle twinkle little star….how I wanna eat your pizza-r! I can write lyrics! After a good few hours on the plane flying from Seattle to San Francisco, I was ready to just veg out. It was raining quite a bit when I landed and parts of SFO were leaking, eek! Even though I was

Seattle Day 3: Teriyaki

Meat Dumplings At Karloff
