After spending the afternoon on the Bay on the <a href="http://www.internationalchocolatesalon.com/chocolate-wine-cruise-on-san-francisco-bay-2nd-edition/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chocolate and Wine Cruise</a>, we were hungry for a meal and decided to try <a href="http://www.sfcafezitouna.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cafe Zitouna</a> on Polk Street. Tea Time has ventured up and down the Polk Gulch many times and we always find a restaurant we haven't yet ventured in to try. Cafe Zitouna is dishing up authentic Morrocan food and tempted our palates. We decided to start with an appetizer, Tunisian Michwiya, which features tuna, onions, egg and capers. </div>

From their website:<br>
<i><br></i>
<i>Café Zitouna is the premier restaurant that combines an authentic
Moroccan food with Tunisian Home made food in San Francisco Bay area.
<br>
Café Zitouna serves you like a traditional Maghreb family would at their home.<br>
<br>
Morocco and Tunisia are the culinary star of North Africa in the
Mediterranean sea, are the doorway between Europe and Africa (located
very close to Spain and Italy).<br>
<br>
The North African region called Maghreb.
Much imperial and trade influence has been filtered through the area and
blended into its culture. Unlike the herb-based cooking across the sea
to the north, Tunisia and Moroccan cooking is characterized by rich
spices. Cumin, coriander, saffron, chiles, dried ginger, cinnamon, and
paprika are on the cook's shelf, and in her mortar. In one word come
visit us or order online and you will be glad you did</i>. Additionally, the menu at Cafe Zitouna is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Islamic_and_Jewish_dietary_laws" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Halal Dhabiha.</a><br>
<br>
The casual family atmosphere of Cafe Zitouna is a welcome break from the hustle(!) and bustle of Polk Street. It was certainly a cozy place to rest our weary feet and nosh down some delicious ethnic food after our lovely <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gourmet-cruise-on-san-francisco-bay-tickets-35242053932" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">boat ride under both bridges. </a><br>
<br>
UPDATE:<br>
Unfortunately, Cafe Zitouna is no longer open. First they were closed while some work was being done on the street, then they said they were closed for Ramadan, and now they are simply gone. The space is empty.</div>

Alexander Black's <a href="http://www.fudgefatale.com/about.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fudge Fatale</a>'s original product is fudge. Deep, dark, smooth fudge. Packaged in a shiny gold wrapper inside a luxurious velvet case. The shop section of their website and the home page aren't live at the moment, and the chocolate sauce is currently unavailable at Amazon.com. I'm afraid this means they're out of business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alexander Black, who grew up making fudge at home in Connecticut, made an appearance on the Wayne Brady show, which is on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZZO3T0eAIc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube</a>. The recipe was on his website at the time, and you can see it <a href="http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/fatal-fudge-345125#activity-feed" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. This is a different kind of fudge recipe. It doesn't need to be kneaded on a marble slab, but it doesn't use marshmallow creme, either.</div>

Teatime was so impressed with <a href="https://teatimeadventures.blogspot.com/2018/02/hazels-southern-bar-kitchen.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hazel's</a> Restaurant Week menu that we and our friend Thomas decided to go back to try the happy hour menu. Unfortunately, Hazel's was closed for a private event, so we went next door to <a href="https://www.kayasf.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Kaya Jamaican Restaurant</a>.<br>
<br>
We ordered drinks and four appetisers to share. There were no happy hour bargains, but the food was excellent. The tip was added to the check, as a service charge, and there was no problem with multiple cards, so no arithmetic was required of us.</div>

I received this bag of tiny gingerbread cookies at the Winter Fancy Food Show. I usually prefer my own baking, but these little cookies from <a href="https://www.cheryls.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cheryl's</a> have an excellent sugary crunch. Cheryl's is owned by the same company that owns 1-800-Flowers. The cookies are available online, but Yelp reviews indicate occasional shipping delays, so I don't recommend last-minute orders.</div>

I had a bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomatoes, and red onion. Capers are available, but I always pick them off, so I ordered it without. I really like the way it was served. This way is much easier to eat than a closed sandwich piled so high it doesn't fit in my mouth.</div>

<a href="http://beesponsible.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Beesponsible</a>, supported by <a href="http://www.barkmanhoney.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Barkman Honey</a>, provides information about why bees are important and how to be responsible for them. They have a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/beesponsible/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page, in addition to their website. I met their contingent at the 2018 Winter Fancy Food Show. They gave me much food for thought, and some actual food in the form of a generous sample of honey, available for purchase on their website, along with a few wearables and trinkets.</div>

The <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/international-food-court-san-francisco" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">International Food Court</a> on the corner of Bush and Kearny is another one that doesn't have a website or Facebook page.

This was a favorite of ours years ago. We had forgotten about it because it closed for quite a while for extensive retrofitting. Beth asked how long it had been re-opened. The answer was three years. We don't know why we didn't notice earlier, but we're glad we finally did!</div>

Lee Zalben, the founder of <a href="https://ilovepeanutbutter.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Peanut Butter & Co.</a> was at the Fancy Food Show this year. I ate at Peanut Butter & Co. the last time I was in New York, so it was a real treat for me to meet Lee at the show. </div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Humphry Slocombe was back at the Winter Fancy Food Show with three new flavors added to their lineup and their (and my) favourite drag queen, Nancy Boy, who appeared Sunday and Monday in two new outfits.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The new flavours are <span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: center;">Dirty Chai–chai ice cream spanked with espresso (just dirty enough), </span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: center;">Cinnamon Tres Leches–cinnamon ice cream and yellow cake and </span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; text-align: center;">Black Sesame–toasted black sesame seeds with sesame oil added for more oomph. Black Sesame is one of Tea Time's favourite ice cream </span>flavors, and Humphry Slocombe's rendition is excellent.</span></div>

We had been curious about China Live since it opened, but somehow never got there. So, when we saw that it was participating in San Francisco's Restaurant Week, we took advantage of the opportunity to sample the restaurant.<br />
<br />
Reservations are accepted, but not required. Walk-ins are welcome, and the staff cheerfully seated J.K. while Angela was still parking her bike.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite the extensive (for Restaurant Week) menu, it didn't take us long to make our decisions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We're not ale (or beer) drinkers, so we both chose the 8 Treasure Ttea, which is brewed in a glass cup with a glass infuser, to show off the 8 treasures. The Chinese consider 8 to be a lucky number.<br />

Orale Orale doesn't have a website, but its menu is available <a href="https://www.zmenu.com/orale-orale-san-francisco-online-menu/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">online</a> and there are many good <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/orale-orale-san-francisco" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Yelp</a> reviews. This FiDi mainstay is open weekdays only, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. There's a full menu and a full bar, but we always get the carne aside platter, served rare.</div>

There are chips and salsa on the table, to tide you over until your food arrives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The platter comes with rice, beans and choice of tortillas. The tortillas are wrapped in foil to keep them warm, and then if you have leftovers, you can wrap them yourself if you want for a quick getaway back to the office.</div>

Every year, <a href="https://www.dandelionchocolate.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dandelion Chocolate</a> presents "<a href="http://www.dandelionchocolate.com/12-nights-of-chocolate-2017/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">12 Nights of Chocolate</a>" to benefit the <a href="https://www.sfmfoodbank.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SF-Marin Food Bank</a>. This year, J.K., Angela and Beth all went to the annual showing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with Gene Wilder.<br />
<br />
The doors opened at 7:00, and for half an hour we were treated to, well, treats, all made with Dandelion Chocolate, of course.</div>

Pour-it-yourself endless hot chocolate, with three choices, plus the barista cheerfully made a house mocha for Beth.

The pre-film reception lasted ½ hour, to make sure everyone got enough to eat and drink. The treats and hot chocolate were all left out during the showing, and there were even plenty of leftovers, including hot chocolate, to take home. One lucky attendee found a golden ticket in her popcorn, entitling her to a free factory tour.</div>

It was a chilly day, so we were walking along Kearny Street, looking for soup (preferably with noodles) and decided on <a href="http://sanfrancisco.menupages.com/restaurants/hons-wun-tun-house/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hon's Wun-Tun House</a>, a favourite of our friend and fellow Chocolate Salon volunteer, Lydia. Hon's is a "real" Chinatown restaurant without its own online presence, but is listed on menu and review sites. The menu is relatively short, but comprehensive.</div>

Beth and I were walking down Larkin Street, looking for a likely place for a quick dinner before going to the dress rehearsal for S.F. Opera's Girl of the Golden West. We decided on <a href="http://www.turtletowersf.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Turtle Tower</a>, because there weren't many people inside, so it looked like service would be quick. It turned out that there were few inside because it was close to closing, but the staff nonetheless welcomed us and didn't rush us, even though they were obviously closing up, cleaning tables and putting the chairs on them so they could wash the floor.</div>
