Had a babysitter, went to a fun event today - the Junior League of La Jolla's Island Divine Santorini fundraiser at the Cove. Tons of restaurants and wineries and breweries. (Normally not my scene but got free tickets from a coworker).
Really fun event! Can't wait to go to another like this. It was like trying tons of restaurants in a short amount of time. Perfect for a cooped up mom!
My winners for the day:
--savory: The Fishery, Pacific Beach: absolutely divine seared ahi with micro-fennel, tangerine....If the Dad liked seafood, we would go in a second. Readers, try it and report back to me - I was so impressed with the chefs. (It was also the perfect dish for an event like this - easy to plate and to feed the forces; other places had temperature issues)
--dessert: 410 Degrees Cookies: THIS PLACE WAS OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD. They sell at the Hillcrest and La Jolla Farmer's Markets. We had 5 different kinds of cookies: red velvet, birthday cake, snickers, peanut butter and mojito mint. They were each so creative and wonderful - way better than Cupcake Love and Cupcake Square which are also good and were there too. If you go to those farmers markets, you must buy their cookies!!!!!
Foodgirl is still buzzed on wine (Cass Syrah was the day's fave, and Palumbo Viognier).....
