this post is about food. good food i've had recently. and good food i keep going back to.

*trafiq - i go here weekly with carolyn after our swim date at hillcrest. the baguette and panini sandwiches are damn good and their desserts are fit for the afterlife!
*carabash-i just went here tonight and though it is a lot like the reef, it seems more homey in atmosphere and the food seems derived from a more homey recipe source.
*save on meats has a peanut butter milkshake. need i say more?

and a really good muffin recipe (via caro and via allrecipes.com):
