I am in sunny California! Woo-hoo! Not only am I in California, but I am in San Diego. Beautiful, warm, and lovely San Diego. I love this city and am so happy to be here.
Unfortunately, I am not here for rest and relaxation. Nope, I am here for the annual American Dietetic Association Conference. Although it's been a crazy few days, it's been so much fun.
I have met some great people here and have had some amazing conversations as well. I managed to obtain more samples of food than one person ever should and more autographed copies of books by RD's than I thought I would ever own! Now I am just wondering how I am going to get it all home and where I am going to put it once I get there.
So, as you know, I am a totally in love with food. Lucky for me, San Diego has some of my favorite kinds of foods...mainly Mexican food! Yum! Last night I went to a great retaurant called the Linkery. So incredibly fun and tasty. I had fish tacos and an amazing house salad that had locally grown veggies including arugula, carrots and tomatoes...so good. Tonight I went to a place called La Puerta. I found it on Yelp and was pleased to see that it was only a few blocks from my hotel. Plus, they had half price drinks and appetizers all day. How can you beat that? So, I indulged in a delicious margarita (on the rocks with salt) and the street taco plate. Oh, was I in heaven. I had the Pastor (Marinated Pork-Pineapple-Avocado Cream-Cilantro-Onion), the Pollo Asado (Grilled Chicken-Avocado Cream-Cilantro-Onion), and the Ranchero Shrimp (Tomato-Onion-Green Chile-Lettuce-Sour Cream). All were perfection!
As I prepare to pack my bags with my belly full of tasty, Mexican perfection, I must say, it's nice to be back in this great city. Thank you San Diego...I will be back!
