More important brunch news

By now you guys know how important brunch is. (Wow, that's just 3 posts - a search for "brunch" on my blog returns like 10 posts.) Part of the importance of brunch is trying new places, so in that spirit we checked out Uva Enoteca in the Lower Haight for brunch on Saturday.

Not too crowded at 1 pm on Saturday. In fact, not crowded at all. It was just us (me, Wife, Sister), a table of like 7 hipsters, and one table with 2 girls. I was told there would be bottomless mimosas, but there were bottomless bellinis instead which I'm not too crazy about but whatever.

The food was pretty good. I got the fried eggs, which were 2 sunny side up eggs that arrived cold. Maybe not cold, maybe room temp. Still, warm would have been good. Came with what was advertised as "bacon" but I'm sure was pancetta. Also a salad and a little "potato cake" thing. The best part is that, pre-tip, the total tab was $60 for 3 people, including 3 bottomless bellinis. We ended up drinking 2 pitchers of them but based on the table of hipsters it looked like you could pretty much hang out all afternoon and keep getting pitchers brought to you.

Anyway, just OK, not great. 3 stars out of five.

Then we had pints on the back porch of Mad Dog and then some more things happened and the upshot is The Wife was super-hungover yesterday. The end.

Military Ancestors

I hope you all are as excited as I am about this being the week where we show Family Photos which you submit. I have gotten lots of interesting pictures, and hope you all will continue so submit pictures. Also, please try and include any information you have on the photograph. The picture above was submitted by Dale Moore. The picture shows his Grandfather, John Roberts from Lawrence County, Tennessee. His grandfather is on the left in the picture. He is pictured as a WW I soldier. I wonder if this picture was taken in US or overseas.

The picture above is from "Joe in NC", a long time visitor and commenter to this blog. The picture is of his dad in the 190's. The picture was taken in Shanghai. Joe . . . does that mean your dad was "Shanghaied"?

Folks, keep your favorite old family photos coming!
