Pre Anniversary Dinner @ Cucina Sorella

We had just celebrated my parents' 50th wedding anniversary earlier today (their real anniversary is this Sunday)...I was wiped out and didn't want to eat leftover at home, so..

it was off to Cucina Sorella in Kensington for our "pre-anniversary" dinner...

Date night in Kensington: Pappalecco + Moosie's

TC was out on a "date"...It was her first in which her boyfriend picked her up (he recently got his license) and took her out. Alone...

After watching his car containing our daughter go up the hill, we headed out ourselves. If she can have date night, why so can we, heh heh.

Our dinner destination was in Kensington...

Not Cucina Sorella, this time but another place a few blocks away...

El Cilantro, Imperial Beach + revisit to Deb's Cookie Jar

One of our friends ("One") recommended El Cilantro to us...

It actually used to be located on Palm Avenue near the car wash...

Nature's Grill & Juice Bar + scenes from Ventura

Not too far away from our dinner destination was the Mission San Buenaventura...

We parked at a free lot nearby. Sadly, the Mission was already closed...

but at least this eatery, Nature's Grill & Juice Bar was still open...

Boathouse at Hendry's Beach

We cleaned up a bit before heading to our dinner destination which was conveniently...


here, at the beach!

Cucina Sorella

Last week, MFH, La Ley and I took Mr. TJ out to the new Cucina Sorella for his belated birthday dinner...

In hindsight, we should have arrived much earlier...

It was twilight time but still enough light to enjoy sitting on their outdoor patio.
