Healthy picnic

Yesterday, we had a picnic on the grass at Balboa Park, where we met our worm friend. But before we headed over to the park, we went to Whole Foods on University Avenue in good old Hillcrest. As we headed east on 6th Ave, we noticed rows upon rows of blue porta potties and tents galore. Apparently the AIDS walk was yesterday from 8 am - 1 pm. It must have finished early because 6th Ave was reopened by the time we drove by at 12:30 pm .

TC wanted these horrible wannabe cheese puffs. Let's put it this way...Cheetos kicks ass on this! The photo below is Bert's BBQ Chicken Salad ($5.99).
Here are a few items I chose from the hot deli selection ($6.99 a lb) : garlic roasted potato wedges (I only got 3) and 2 vegetarian samosas (these were baked).
Here is my salad, the Goji Berry vegetarian salad (also $5.99). It came with a citrus dressing which I gave to Bert because I like my salads dry. There was spring mix (sans spinach, of course), cherry tomatoes, a lot of pine nuts, strips of tofu, and goji berries , which come from Tibet. They look like dried red raisins.
Here is the patch of lawn where we sat.
You can see the little International Cottages in the distance. The one in the back is the International gift store. There was an event happening that day for House of China because they were celebrating Moon Festival, which celebrates the moon and summer harvest.
Aah...beautiful San Diego...and our crap laid before us...

We also bought these toasted rice cracker rounds with hazelnuts and ate those with red pepper hummus. TC also wanted a homemade peanut butter and Nutella sandwich, of which she only ate half.

Mmmm....Valrhona dark chocolate batons...these didn't last long!
