Last week I spent several sun-filled days in San Diego with two fabulous ladies I met at Food Blog Camp in Mexico and kept in touch with. Marie from Meandering Eats hosted myself (me? myself? I never know…) and Amber from Awake at the Whisk, who came down from Sacramento. I ate a lot of food. I saw my favorite wild animal breeds (giraffes and elephants). I got to spend a lot of time showering Marie’s dog Bear with belly rubs, despite that fact that Bear delicately helped himself to my dried cherries from the farmers market when nobody was looking.
I left them within reach, so really, I can’t blame him. Bear’s got taste.
Thanks again Marie for a wonderful visit! I have now officially been to California. I got my first sunburn of the season. I unexpectedly but delightfully got to see one of my oldest friends, Ashley. I learned that when you see four children under the age of two on your red-eye flight back to Boston, it means you won’t be getting any sleep, so you might as well give up trying and get a second Diet Coke.
Looking forward to visiting Nantucket in a few weeks!

Yay! What a grand trip it was! 🙂 And as always, spectacular photos!
Thanks for a wonderful long weekend! It was so good to see you guys! Where’s the next reunion?
Tell me what you ate! In particular that eggs benny….I can just tell there’s a killer (hollandaise-y-ish?) sauce on it!!
I am a terrible food blogger. 🙂
The eggs benny dish was from Bluegrass Brunch at Urban Solace in San Diego. It was technically (ahem) “Portabello Benny: House Biscuit, Portobello Mushroom, Poached Fresh Eggs, Smoked Ancho Chili Hollandaise” – and it was sooooo good.
That is also where the enormous cinnamon roll came from.
The article and pictures were fantasic, the food was overwhelming.
As a Manier it was a learning experience and I can understand why
my cousins are love the area.
Great pics Aimee! Looks like a blast. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Looks like a fabulous trip!!!
Isn’t San Diego lovely?! I love it sooo much! 🙂 Awesome pics–my favorite is of you in front of the bird!! I agree with Katie that you should tell us all about your dishes, I want to taste them all! 🙂
Fatima – it’s an accurate representation of a condor wingspan. There weren’t any kids around so I just went for it! 🙂
The food was so good…I ate like a pig. Cinnamon roll, portabella eggs benny, black bean burger, huitlacoche (corn fungus – yum) quesadilla, huevos con chilaquiles, fresh beet salad, squash blossoms, cactus salad, etc. I am full just thinking about it!
