23rd Anniversary Dinner @ Tribute Pizza

We really like this place and were finally able to bring TC with us

for our anniversary dinner...

Herb & Eatery

Bert said we could have walked from Santa Fe Depot station...

up to the Little Italy stop...

Wild Willow Farm

Last month we accompanied TC to a volunteer opportunity...

It was in the South Bay...

at Wild Willow Farms, which is a small farm near the larger Suzie's Farm. We were interested in this particular opportunity because it involved cooking...

Farmer's Market + Surf Market, Gualala

I keep switching back and forth from our Summer 2014 trip to our 2015; this one is from 2015. Our next destination north from having breakfast at the Sea Ranch was a small town called Gualala.

If you blink while driving through, you might miss it.

It's a pretty small town, but we made sure to stop by. Lucky for us, it was also the same day as their Farmer's Market...

Return to Soda & Swine & Verbatim Books

It's been nearly three years since I'd been here...

Bert was craving meatballs so this was the perfect place to go...

Taco Bell, La Bodega and the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club

All right...

I did a drive thru (hangs head in shame)...

Edamame Noodles & Fun with roasted vegetables and spiralized zucchini

A recent lunch..

which was relatively healthy...

Vegetable garden

After about four months, our bittermelon vines started to grow...

not as nice and lush as my parents but grow it did...

More of the garden...

The garden was doing quite well in the summer. These pics are from May...

The bittermelon was still alive which was a good thing since I normally have a black thumb...

Garden progression

Here are some photos from our garden that we started in late April...

The start of a young bittermelon plant and one of the six bunches of red chard we planted...
