Early 25th Wedding Anniversary Dinner at the Bali Hai

It feels so weird to be blogging again...

I didn't miss it too much but it's good to be back. Earlier this evening, Bert and I went out for an early dinner...

S3, Rudfords & Embargo Grill revisits

Some of these pix are from a few months ago...

which got put on the back burner and are now just being churned out, heh heh...

This post is a little late, but here it is...a compedium of holiday drinks including fall & winter.

Let's start off with this...

from Communal Coffee in South Park...

Anti-Black Friday & Small Business Saturday 2018

It was a beautiful morning in Golden Hill...

on the shopping day known as "Black Friday"...

Fall/Specialty Drinks at Cafe Virtuoso, Moniker, Holsem & Black Stag

Fall is almost over with winter on the way,

with the new season are new drinks at some of the coffee joints that I frequent...

Lunches with La Ley : Supannee, Pho Convoy, + Pho Convoy revisit with Bert

Here are some recent lunches with my co-worker/friend La Ley...

She hadn't tried Supannee before and was willing to give it a shot...

Fig Tree Cafe, Liberty Station + Hawthorn Coffee with D

Yesterday, I hung out with D...

she had some time off from work so it was nice being able to spend it with her...

Our 22nd Anniversary - Communal Coffee, OB Beans Coffee Roasters & Supannee House of Thai

I decided to just cram our anniversary day in one post so here it is...

Yesterday, with the lovely overcast sky and the benefit of being super early (8 am) at Communal...

22 Years - Highlights from the Day

Just a quick 'n dirty post of today's events...

in which Bert and I celebrated our anniversary, along with TC, starting off with breakfast and coffee in North Park...

Return to Tech Outfitters

Not even two minutes away was Tech Outfitters...

where you can enjoy coffee and also get your laptop or phone fixed...

Mitch's Seafood

Down the street is the popular Point Loma Seafoods. We didn't want to park in their lot (I believe there are fees) which is why we parked near the Dolphin Motel...

Not that much farther away than Point Loma Seafoods is Mitch's...

Birthday crawl 2017 - The Coffee Hub Cafe

It was great taking a day off for my birthday.

The day was made even better since Bert also took the day off...

Birthday Highlights 2017

Another year older...

or shall I say, wiser...

Coffee Revisits - Hawthorn, Duet, Virtuoso, Por Vida and Moniker

Sometimes I look on IG to see what new drinks are being concocted at local coffee shops...

This visit brought Bert and I back to Hawthorn on Adams...

Tech Outfitters

I mentioned previously that we passed by the coffee place before going to Liberty Station...

I wanted to see where it was, assess the parking situation (street, but they do have their own lot) and all...

A quick walk at Liberty Station + a revisit to Con Pane

With our frackin' paper cupped coffees from Butler's in hand,

(as seen from the 94, heading west)

we made our way across to the 94 to get to the 805....

Modern Times Fermentorium Cafe

In the back of my mind, I remembered that Modern Times Brewery had a cafe...

the full name is rather pretentious (see post title). When I hear words with the suffix "orium", I think of "sanitorium" or "vomitorium", ha ha. But luckily this wasn't one of those.

(this is right across from Modern Times)

Located in an area with warehouses, a nearby strip club (the notorious Les Girls) and Denny's is Modern Times Cafe...

A tale of two breakfasts @ The Lot in Liberty Station

Last month and earlier today I had the opportunity to dine at the Lot in Liberty Station.

I'd heard of the Lot in La Jolla. These are upscale movie theaters that provide guest with a high quality dining and cinema experience.

Kirbie chose the venue for our breakfast that day...
