You's dim sum san francisco
Since we are having leftover manicotti for dinner (therefore I am not cooking, just reheating.) I'll use this time and space to tell you about one of my favorite foods....(drumroll please....) dim sum!!!! I love these delectable morsels and think the best place to get dim sum is at You's Dim Sum in San Francisco (China Town). The ladies that work there don't speak any English and I have to communicate by pointing, nodding and through several facial expressions, but man is it worth it! I love the rice balls with ham and dried shrimp and the shrimp and spinach? rice flour dumplings. They also have real congee (you see many locals eating it esp. for breakfast) and chicken feet and other unidentifiable animal parts, but I think that's half the fun, and guarentees the place is authentic and for the locals! I have included some pics from my last trip to You's (one of my must go to stops when in the city) during March '08. My brother bravely trekked through the streets of Chinatown (we accidentally climbed Knob Hill on foot!!!) just so I could find and temporarily satisfy my craving for these delectable treats. People who live in the Bay Area have no idea how lucky they are to have such great places to eat sooo close to home!!!

That is WIERD!!!!!!!! I too love DIM SUM!!!
I like to go to Oakland Chinatown, and eat it there. Also the Wor Won Ton soup... . Believe it or not, here in CDE they have gt dim sun, on sunday. We are the only non chinese family usually there. I look at a Chinese familiy's table, and tell the waiter, "What they order send me too, please".
Man is it fun, and delicious. Rule of thumb. If people eat it, it is gonna be good!!! The wierder the stuff the more I like it. I think you learned to like wierd stuff with me. The Tripa Gorda rellena, chinchulin, and molleja tour late at night in those little Uruguayan Parrilladas near La Ruta 3 did it I 'm sure. You are what you are because of your ecclecic and wierd upbringing... Being tri cultural and multi ethnic helps, too!
Love you girl, PAIZINHO
