It was a cold, wintry night in San Francisco, so we stopped in late at the Buena Vista to warm up with an Irish coffee. Maybe you didn't know that Irish coffee was invented in San Francisco at . . .
I've tasted a chocolate chip cookie or two in my time--they're my all-time favorite cookie, but only home made.
