Edamame Hummus and Tartine Bread

This is often the first course at Radio Africa & Kitchen. It’s hella good. Everything else is hella good too, but, my goodness, what a way to start a dinner.

Plus, it’s housed inside Coffee Bar, so you get the atmosphere too:

Bilingual Bike To Work Day

bilingual bike to work day mission district

Great news for all you Spanish speakers out there: this year’s Bike To Work Day will feature the first Spanish/English bilingual Energizer Station in the history of the tradition. Even better, it will be staffed by Meli from Bikes and the City. So whether you speak Spanish/English, Spanish/Spanish or English/English, stop by and say hi. (And get your tote bag and bagel and banana.)

Chavez and Harrison in the morning; Chavez and Valencia in the evening.

Undercover Badass

SF Appeal intern Ramona just dropped a doozy on her blog not so serious:

Tattoos are badass, but bruises are undercover badass. Bruises are the new temporary tattoo. Bruises say I live my life rough, and I don’t even have to pay someone to draw it on. A bruise is like a tattoo that says “I’m rugged. Let’s party.”

Looks okay, I guess. Thanks, Jeff!

Unrelated: If you haven’t checked out The Virgins, do.

The all-new Dolores Park Calendar of Events will not only keep you abreast of popular stuff like “Movie Night,” but also lesser-trafficked oddities such as “Christian Worship Rally” and “Lawhead Wedding.” Here’s hoping the Lawheads don’t mind a well-intentioned crash.

Biographical Info:

"I joked that living in the Mission would be the end of me. And there were nights where it felt like the case.

One night I went out with my friend Allan to the bar that no one goes to on 16th Street, where I lost half my drink and money on the dance floor. Later we skated down 16th to Evelyn Lee, where I fell off my board and landed on my head as the 22 bus sped past behind me. A sobering moment. At the bar, I sulked and nursed my wounds until Allan put on Amy Winehouse’s 'Valerie.' We danced, he dipped me, and I felt better."

— My pal Valerie, writing about life in the Mission
