The first part of my California trip is to San Diego, a new city for me, to visit my gal pal Gab. She has a super cute place with a wonderful view and fantastic patio. Or, what would be called a lanai in the South. Her cute little pug Olive knows its the perfect place for sun bathing and I enjoyed my morning coffee with a little splash of sunshine.
When it comes to dining, Gab and I are on exactly the same page: we are both thinking about what we will eat next, even while we're feeding our faces!.
Breakfast was at the Brockton Villa Restaurant, famous for their 'Coast Toast' and view. I was starving, so took no pictures, but did take prisoners by cleaning my plate of spicy steamed eggs and fried potatoes. Delish!
Lunch at Saffron was perfection. The salad roll was light and fresh and the Pad Thai was one of the best I have had. Yes, I am that annoying person who always orders Pad Thai, so I know a good one when I taste it. Gab had a red papaya chicken salad with a fancy red rice and a coconut dressing. Beautiful! I may try to create a veggie version at home.
Dinner? Very excited about the Linkery, recommended by everyone Gab knows apparently. More on that later!
