Saturday has officially became my favorite day of the week. The luxury of being able to sleep in and not having to worry about waking up at 7am to catch the fickle-minded bus that sometimes decide not to come on time contents my heart. And of course, only during Saturday do I actually have time to go out and eat.
This Saturday, we made a stop by The Cheese Board Collective, a local Berkeley restaurant that makes a different kind of vegetarian pizza each day of the week. On the menu was crimini mushroom, onion, French goat cheese, mozzarella, fresh herbs, and garlic olive oil (click here for the pizza menu). It was delicious as usual, but my favorite still remains to be the corn pizza. (Fresh corn, Chile pasilla, onions, French feta, Mozzarella, Mexican key limes, Cilantro, Garlic olive oil.)
After pizza, we made a stop by Masse's pastries across the street, where we picked up mango, pistachio, vanilla and framboise macarons.

Can you see the cherry fillings peeking out?
It's also Mid-Autumn Festival in China, when the people celebrate being together as a family. The night of Mid-Autumn Festival is also the night that the moon is at it's brightest and biggest during the year. Thus, Chinese people eat "moon cakes".
