I usually just glug the bailey's from the bottle. Currently my refrigerator has beef & tofu Chinese takeout going through its own little metamorphoses.

I'm going to be your book-reseller competition on Amazon, me thinks! (actually, the curdling was a result of adding VODKA to BAILEYS. there was no fresh/unfresh milk in that concoction)

Good note re: the Hilton. I was trying to get my aunt to stay at a hotel downtown just so I could see the inside... it's the one on Powell near the cable car, up a bit from union square. Where Hotel was filmed, and where the door guys are dressed like silly early English people.

As much as it stings to be staying in hotels in San Francisco these days (reinforces that I no longer live there) it is cool to get to survey them. My recent stays: The Argent (sucks, relatively speaking, very plain, soon to become a Westin). Stanford Court (old and nice, less plain and less musty than Argent, definitely four star). Hilton by Union Sqaure (very nice). Best so far, though, Parc 55 (Amazing view of downtown, awesome room, and soon to break away from being Marriot, going indepedent). Everything you never wanted to know about hotels in SF!! You’re on a roll!
