I recently embarked on a fantastically fun "Foodie Day" in San Diego with my friend, Martha. She picked me up and we set sail on a journey to celebrate local, fresh and delicious food throughout San Diego. Our first stop: Chino Farms in Rancho Santa Fe. Their produce is a display of rare beauty, freshness and high quality. High end restaurants throughout California purchase their top quality produce from Chino Farms. It was delightful to purchase our own fresh produce to incorporate into our own dishes at home....
We then headed to Point Loma SeaFoods in Point Loma. I enjoyed a fresh cod lunch, which was probably caught that morning. Seagulls could be heard as we sat overlooking the harbor. The food and atmosphere were delicious! Next stop: Hillcrest, to buy freshly baked bread at Bread and Cie. I bought a loaf of freshly baked goat cheese and garlic bread. Upon entering, our noses were filled with heavenly aromas of the freshly baked goodness around us. Yum! Our next stop: Little Italy, for an enchantment of sweets... a veritable museum of gorgeous desserts. I enjoyed a beautiful lemon bar with a latte while Martha enjoyed homemade ice cream. We each bought a dessert to take home as well; so beautiful it was hard to take the first bite, for fear of cutting into the exquisite dessert. Willpower was slim, and of course we did take that first scintillating bite of goodness! The final stop today: Mission Hills, to obtain take-out for our dinner later that night. If you like Thai food, you will LOVE Saffron. It is as if your nose has entered heaven, upon walking into Saffron in Mission Hills. We asked the gentleman at the counter, "What makes your chicken so moist". His reply "we marinade them in coconut milk". That explains the delicious chicken! And I could literally drink their peanut sauce by the handfuls, it's so delicious! As we headed home, we both remarked that we would need to plan our next Foodie Day soon. Celebrating food throughout our local city was relaxing, delicious and so fun. I encourage all of my readers to plan a Foodie Day of your own, with a close friend or loved one.
