Granny's Kitchen = Fail + return to the Julian Cider Mill

It's the return of the Julian posts...

I figure I should tie up loose ends before I end up forgetting about it. After starting off our day trying some Ass Kickin' Beef Jerky at Pam's Place, we found a parking spot a few blocks up a hill on Main. There was a breakfast place we were curious about...

Agave Coffee & Cafe

For today's "morning date", Bert and I decided to go to a fairly new coffee place on the western side of our town...

We pass by it all the time and I kind of wanted a preview for when I would have jury duty...

Return to Nado Gelato

We didn't want to drive somewhere else for dessert at Tartine (which we'd already visited twice),

aaaand since Nado Gelato was literally and conveniently  a few steps away from The Fish Company...

Seafood Friday #3 - The Fish Company

Another beautiful San Diego sunset...

as seen while heading west on the 905...We were dropping off TC for a youth group function and were off to dinner. Last week we tried the new Crisp Fish and Chips for our Lenten Friday meal. Tonight, we chose a place in Coronado...

Mariscos Gonzalez

Today's post is brought to you by my better half, Bert...

His work brought him to the  eastern side of the 905 freeway. Located near a business park was this taco truck he observed during previous work visits around here...

Revisit to the TJ Oyster Bar (location #2)

Earlier today, I had lunch with several friends here...

at the 2nd location of the TJ Oyster Bar (near Vons) in Bonita...

Mardis Gras Cafe & Marketplace

After our dismal coffee and baklava from Cafe Cabaret, we headed southeast to Spring Valley...

to a place I always pass by whenever I visit MFH in Jamul. The Mardis Cafe. It used to be located in Point Loma but relocated to Spring Valley in the mid 2000's...

Cafe Cabaret

A few weeks ago, Bert and I were craving some coffee. The original place we wanted to go to was closed although their website's hours listed them as 'still' open.

Instead of sticking around the same area to find a coffee place, we took the scenic route through City Heights. At night. That was quite the experience to say the least...

Bane Phonkeo's Food to Go

So far, today was a fun adventure despite the small bit of rain we ran into while driving. I'm liking Saturday mornings more and more since Bert and I have been  finding new places to go. Earlier, we enjoyed our breakfast at Nate's and our coffee from Bay Park. There was this small eatery I wanted to check out before picking up TC...

There is a gray building on the northwest west corner of 47th and Imperial, diagonally from Lincoln High School. It was time to finally check it out...

Bay Park Coffee

It was raining down south (TC told us later that it was coming down pretty hard) but we didn't experience any rain after leaving Nate's to head over to Bay Park, a neighborhood we've only driven by many times while on the 5, but never explored before until today...

We did run into some heavy showers while going through the S-curve on the 5, which tapered off and stopped completely once we moved past it...

The clouds were quite dramatic that day as we turned off the Tecolote Canyon/Sea World Drive exit to get to Morena Blvd...

Breakfast @ Nate's Garden Grill

Our morning date was "cloudy with a big chance of rain".

TC was doing her volunteer thing, rain or shine.

We thought we would revisit Nate's once again since we haven't had breakfast there before...
