Foodie Review: Tartine Bakery - San Francisco



 




The first time I experienced Tartine Bakery & their sourdough bread, my Mother was visiting from the Midwest shortly after my move to San Francisco, CA in 2019 (Photo: Lombard Street). She was raving about it. While hosting, we eventually made it to the area where the bakery was located, after visiting nearby Haight Ashbury hippie row & Delores Park. Shockingly there was a line wrapped around the corner. She wasn't lying. These Bay area natives were serious about their bread and it became a cultural icon for the city! I moved from San Francisco in 2022 but when I come visit this is always a must!

We purchased the Country Loaf traditional sourdough, delicious pastry deserts and a quiche. I can truly say I have never tasted bread so fresh, airy, dense but doesn't leave you feeling bloated. I am a health guru, so if I can eat some carbs without feeling guilty about it and know I am getting some beneficial compounds produced during fermentation than it's a win-win, right? The loaf weighs 5lbs it seems as it definitely packs some weight. Make sure you freeze your bread as soon as possible if not consuming because its genuinely fresh with no preservatives and will mold within 2-3 days. They mill their whole grain flour in house which allows the germ and oils to be present in the flour that you won't find in commercial flour.

Noted by The Rise article mentioned (1) Chad Robertson and Elisabeth Prueitt started the operation back in 2002 after meeting at the Culinary Institute of America. While rooted in San Francisco, Tartine has expanded internationally, with locations in places like Seoul, South Korea. I love the fact that they ship Nationally. So if your craving some bomb diggity bread from the heart of San Francisco that will leave you craving for more than click this link and fill that bread basket :

Business Block: Crypto Reserve, ISO 20022

  A Federal Crypto reserve is in development within US. As we see the digital infrastructure develop and mature the Federal government finds it a bullish strategy in its portfolio. Questions are surfacing as if some of these digital currency projects are in the best interest of Americans Tax dollars. Decentralized and Centralized projects are key differentiators within the portfolio. We have seen Bitcoin increase by 58.7% from 52k to 109k as a decentralized digital asset. Other projects such as XRP, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano digital instruments may or may not have decentralized characteristics but will be pinned to the decentralized flows of bitcoin.  As we see industries such as AI, Real estate, Insurance, Supply chain, CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) evolve into the digital business infrastructure many of these smart contract instruments and tools will be utilized.

Foodie Review: Seneca Italiano - San Diego

Delizios is what you will be saying once you experience  Seneca Italian joint in Downtown San Diego. They are within the top 3 best authentic Italian restaurants in the city. Reserve your lunch or dinner in advance because everyone is trying to get a taste of their spicy meatball! You won't be disappointed with the ambiance nor the view as the seating overlooks the San Diego, Coronado Bay on the rooftop, but dress warm. The bathrooms are pretty boogie too as they are lined in gold. The kitchen has an open concept, so you can sit at your table sipping your Sicilian wine and watch the chefs whipping up some authentic pasta or wood fire pizza. Who is Seneca one might ask? " Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger, usually known mononymously as Seneca, was a Stoic philosopher of Ancient Rome, a statesman, dramatist, and in one work, satirist, from the post-Augustan age of Latin literature." according to Wikipedia. (1) The ambiance is warm and my favorite starter is the Heirloom to...

Tech Talks: AI, Reciprocal Tariffs, Stock market tanking, Bureaucracy dismantled

It gets worse before it gets better, they say. An economy full of uncertainties makes it extremely hard to project the future—not to mention surprises that may be lying under a rock during audits. We saw Q1 start with an AI stock market boom as Tempus AI, BigBear AI, and others try to align with Nvidia chips. Nvidia earnings continue trending up as their future looks bright. The DeepSeek launch presented questions about whether Nvidia is overvalued, based on the cost of recent projects coming in extremely low for DeepSeek. Unfortunately, we saw the largest drop in the 2025 stock market during the last week of February. This comes as tariff negotiations have corporate America on the edge of their seats. This isn’t Trump’s first rodeo implementing trade tariffs. The upside is that it exposes complacency in companies’ supply chains on a micro level and non-reciprocal global trade deals on a global scale. America in 2025 is not the America of the 2000s or 1990s. Therefore, U.S. global trad...
