So then I notice Beurre D’Isigny at Gelson’s. And now we have to do a taste test. The rich golden color is very similar between (top to bottom) Les Pres Sales, Beurre D’Isigny, and Kerrygold. And the Vons sourdough overpowers the butter flavor so I have to taste the butter on its own. I thought I was a butter connoisseur...

I dont remember now when I switched from margarine to butter. We were brought up on margarine when butter and saturated fat were the big evil. As an adult, I encountered butter in fine dining restaurants and then finally decided that life was too short to not have butter at home. Now we have bread and butter for breakfast almost...

3 hours prep time, says the recipe? Ahahahaha. And does that include going to the store for ingredients normal people don’t have at home?? N.B. Someone said a good dark chocolate roux tastes terrible but for some reason doesn’t ruin the gumbo, i.e. it’s normal. Turns out this is true! And, my roux was so dark and thick the vegetables...

The finest meats, grilled smoky and tender. Smoky steamed artichokes, halved, seasoned, and grilled. The cheese stuffed pasilla pepper was tender and delicious. Homemade desserts, just big enough, dense and rich, cheesecake and key lime pie not too fluffy or cut with fillers. One of our very favorite restaurants.

We never get tired of Davanti Enoteca. Mr A loves the Cacio e Pepe, I like the pizza, and we also get the bruscetta.

There’s been a lot of buzz about Skydeck, even on Nextdoor of all places, and so we decided to drop by the other day. Even though Nextdoor seemed to pan it a bit I think the restaurants look interesting to try and it certainly makes a great place to impress out of town visitors. Yes, it would be better if...

We are really excited to see more fish casual dining restaurants in San Diego. We have now been to all three California Fish Grill in San Diego. Their fish seems to be pretty fresh and their side dishes are really on the mark; we love the sweet potato fries and the fire roasted street corn. Today we tried the dynamite...

Cook thick cut bacon at 350 for 15min. Cook until crisp. The bacon should break when you eat it. This is Savory Bacon from Whole Foods. At about $1 per slice (don’t tell Mr A) On my Weber: front burner only, halfway between med and high. Line pan with foil and crimp edges to catch grease. Layer with the ripest...

How have we not run across this place earlier? It is a genuine original! Himalayan and Nepalese food seems to draw on Indian and Chinese cuisines yet of course has its own unique flavors. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Take your adventurous friends (we did) and explore the menu! From left to right, top to bottom: Chicken Chilli – sweet,...

It was a madhouse at California Pizza Kitchen. We watched them servicing several dozen meal tickets, and not very well. They started staging empty pizza boxes on the bar right in front of our plates. And just as a bunch of pizzas would come out of the oven, the gal manning the pizza boxing would disappear and new workers would...

Sometimes it’s nice to have a quiet cup of coffee by yourself. But now that we have our own espresso maker, it’s difficult to find a good Macchiato on the road.

Best sushi in Mira Mesa. Get there 15m before opening to put your name on the list!
