San Diego's Finest Donuts?

Our next stop was a donut joint in City Heights when searching for donut shops in the area.

One recent reviewer on that four lettered site mentioned that they had..."cronuts" so I thought we would try checking it out...

The Haven Pizzeria

For my first vacation weekend, I ventured up to the cute neighborhood of Kensington (the sign is finally back!)...

to meet up with Kirbie for lunch...

Stuff from Zion

Ever since the new Zion Market opened up in late May, we've been going at least once every two weeks. We'd be there more often if we lived closer.

I made the trip up to pick up a few items for dinner that night since my MIL was staying with us...

Coupon fail @ Lisa's and coupon success @ McD's!

Last weekend, my MIL stayed over at our place. Not wanting to cook, TC and I went to pick up some Filipino food over at Lisa's at this strip mall...

We would find two rude surprises...

Bert's bday dessert at Big Joy

After our lunch at Jeong Won, we headed south on Convoy to this strip mall...

It had been awhile since our last visit and it was Bert's number one choice for dessert too...

Thai Time II

Last week was the first progress report for school. TC did pretty well so we wanted to treat her to dinner out. Cheapa$$ Thriftminded as I am, I looked through my coupons for Thai, which was her cuisine of choice...

We ended up choosing the Thai place in Point Loma...

Vegetable scrap soup & homemade chicken stock

I found this post in draft form hidden and forgotten...

so now I am finally getting rid of it so it shall languish no longer...

I was in one of my 50's housewife kind of moods...

Jeong Won

This past Sunday was Bert's birthday. His stipulation was Korean food, so that is what we had...

In this strip mall, one of many on Convoy that have at least one or more Korean businesses and restaurants...

Donut Stop

We weren't quite done with the day yet though.

At the strip mall across the street from Pho Cow Calli and Namaste is the other strip mall with Lucky Seafood and Pho Lucky...

I like to be "efficient" whenever we're out and about and it was a good thing this other spot was nearby...

Desserts and snacks from Namaste Plaza

Now where were we? Oh yes, at the checkout at Namaste..

Here was our basket filled with, uh, sugary snacks and drinks along with two out of the three Indian-style ice creams that I bought.

I thought it would be fun to try something new for dessert...

El Camaron

Last week was the Labor Day Holiday. Not wanting to cook, I craved mariscos but TJ Oyster Bar was closed (BOTH locations, dagnabbit)...so we headed west.

We thought we might go to El Super but we already that last year so onward we went and after meandering a tiny bit, we passed this place by off the corner of Broadway near E.

It was either this, or keep heading south to go to either Hector's or Godoy...
