We started at SCRAP in the wholesale district down the south end of Portrero. There to buy recycled construction materials. Ada said it was her favorite store ever. We got two big bags of -- surprise -- scraps plus a lot of really long tubes.
Then a few blocks east to Flora Grub, where amidst endless succulents I found a pleasantly spiky eryngium and an arrestingly bloodshot abutilon. Jennifer got some air plants.
Next to El Tonayense on 24th St.. Mission burritos. Enough said.
Lastly down 24th St. two blocks and left on Harrison to Humphrey Slocombe, which I'd written about but never actually visited. The queue was out the door, but moved fast.
I didn't go for the Breakfast Surprise (Cornflakes and Bourbon) or the Peanut Butter Curry (which had a real curry kick). Instead I opted for Pepper+Mint Chocolate and Honey Thyme. Michael had Balsamic Caramel, which proved too much after half a scoop. He traded for my subtly spicy variation on the mint choc chip classic.
Then home -- full, happy, ready to plant and build.
