Love: The Cato-Clouseau scene from The Pink Panther Strikes Again. One of the great physical comedy bits of all time, I'm reminded of it daily watching Clara and Fritz stalk and attack each other around our house.
Like: Craspedias, the Nelson Bubble Lamps of flowers, which look as clean, modern and nice dried as they do when they are fresh.
Discovery: The next must-try San Francisco restaurant meal, this one from the new spot Rich Table in Hayes Valley. To start, watermelon and squid salad with olive vinaigrette. In the middle, order two different pastas and trade bowls half-way through - we had both the rigatoni with smoked eggplant and ricotta and the spaghetti with peas, mint and goat cheese. To finish, their caramelized olive oil cake with roasted strawberries and cream cheese. (The menu is seasonal so it's likely these particular versions are gone, but the variations are bound to be as good.) Rich Table also has stellar cocktails and a well-done rustic-y space.
Obsession: Traveling to Ghent and Bruge, thanks to last month's issue of Travel and Leisure. Sometimes one photograph is all it takes and you're desperate to be somewhere.
Complaint: That the excitement of back to school - buying supplies, finding out who's going to in your class, picking out what you'll wear the first day - can only be experienced vicariously now. Sharing in it is one of the cool parts of having a kid, but it can make you ache for those innocent, carefree days of childhood yourself.
