I know you've been wondering where I've been -- or maybe you haven't. I did indeed survive the aforementioned winter wedding and even the holidays for that matter. Chicago was practically snowless, which was moderately depressing, though did allow me to wear lots of cute party heels! Mostly we were too busy with work, eating (and drinking), celebrating, etc to really tell the days apart. Some call it a holi-daze, which is cute, but let's call it what it really is-- a food and wine bender. AND I TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE because this is really only tolerated at this time of year and during birthday month. (Yeah, month. What?)
Also, we moved to California.
SURPRISE -- and we survived that drive too...with a trailer...through the mountains of Colorado and Utah...in the middle of winter. fun.
But we are here now, and it really is the most lovely place we've lived. 65 degrees in January, sunny, views of the bay from our little casita, a spare bedroom plus large couch... I'm taking reservations and also recommendations for places to go, people to see, things to do!
Do you have dreams about the amazing fish tacos at _____? I'll eat them for you and Instagram you a picture. Does your grandmother live in San Diego? I'll take her to afternoon tea. There are few things better than witty banter over afternoon tea.
In the meantime, I will be eating my way through San Diego Restaurant Week with a few recommendations and a few shot-in-the dark places on my list. Starting with 1500 Ocean, PrepKitchen, Katsuya and Wine Vault & Bistro, we will see how chubby I feel by mid-week and perhaps consider a few more!
Cheers from California!
