Pesto Surprise

We had a lot of fun cooking this past week, especially since I managed to buy - for once in my life - enough supplies to last me all five days. It made figuring out what was for dinner extremely easy, as well as lunches for work - adding this fresh pesto into my sandwiches reminded me of the days when I used to savor the brie and pesto sandwiches from my campus deli. I miss college.

Meats that Sparkle

Last week we had an impromptu dinner date at one of San Diego's hottest new restaurants - Burlap. Though I felt grimy after a full day in the office, the weather allowed a perfect afternoon meal outside, where we tried some local beers and a mixture of Brian Malarky's latest venture. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't much surprise when it came to the new menu (a la carte similar to his Searsucker downtown spot), aside from the location, but some of the hearty side dishes like cowboy ribs were supreme.
