In my last post I mentioned that San Diego is in the midst of Restaurant Week. 
That's pretty much a holiday in my eyes. 
A multi-day holiday,
filled with dining deals up the wazoo.

A few days ago,
we celebrated the husband's birthday at Flemings,
which was just so-so.
It was just... 
I don't know,
boring
Yeah, the steak was good, 
but that's about it. 
Just a little piece of tender filet minion in the middle of a boring plate. 
Sad sight. 

Well,
whatever creative juices I was missing at Flemings,
were definitely made up for last night. 
The husband and I visited Georges at the Cove, California Modern.
It. Was. Glorious. 

Now I know the picture directly above this text doesn't look too impressive..
What IS that?
Right? 
I know. 
It was one of those instances when no matter how hard I tried I couldn't capture the exquisite taste that was in my mouth onto my camera. 
But please take my word for it,
when I tell you that it was probably my favorite dish of the night.
Of course everything else was amazing as well.... 

This.
This is what I earn for when I dine out.
Creativity and flavor. 
The presentation is just a cherry on top. 
Grilled Sardines - winter tabbouleh, pomegranate, yogurt
Prime Hanger Steak
Braised Lamb Shank - butternut squash risotto, sweet onion raisin relish, feta salsa verde
Chino Farms Carrot Cake - tangerine bubbles, salted pepitas, vanilla creameux, ginger florentine, candied carrots, marinated pears
Sneaky George...
just snuck onto the number one spot 
on my list of favorite dining establishments.
Bravo.

Redlands Photo Diary

Happy Friday my sweets! Just got back to good ol' San Diego after spending the whole week up at Redlands for work. Am I the only one who still gets excited about traveling for work, even if it is to the middle of nowhere? Every time I get a new assignment outside of my home town, I start dreaming about all the exploring I'll get to do, (this would be far more exciting by the way, if my company decided to send me somewhere fabulous.. like Paris.. or Barcelona), but still! A trip is a trip, and them hotel points don't come easily nowadays... ya hear?

Back to Redlands - a tiny college town, located less than two hours northeast of San Diego. I found it to be absolutely charming. I seriously recommend for you to stop through the next time you're passing by.. you may just stumble upon a farmers market, or another type of community event that will be strangely familiar to an episode of Gilmore Girls (does anyone remember that show?!?). In the meantime, here are a few photos that I managed to snap when I had a chance to sneak out of the office.
