SALMON WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

DINNER AT HOME

This is one of my all time favorite dinners and we enjoy it often.  This time a little special because our friends went to Alaska and actually caught the fish.  They brought it back to Hawaii and gave us enough for two meals.

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES - SAN DIEGO TO HONOLULU

Another comfortable trip on Hawaiian Airlines.  While we are not fans of the food, we had a pretty good crew on this flight.  Just wished they offered more food/snack options in First Class.

Our last dinner at Pacific Coast Grill where we sat on the water and enjoyed the sunset was one of the most special dinners of my life.  Actually made me put this restaurant on my all time favorite list.  While the food was good this time, it did not impress like that evening in 2021.  The Sushi Rolls this time did not have much flavor and were pretty disappointing.  Loved the fresh Oysters, Lobster and Shrimp Chowder and Bag of Bones.  My Wife and Daughter love the Beet and Pear Salad.  Service was GREAT on this visit and we had a wonderful time.  Love this place!

CARDIFF CRACK DINNER PARTY

SOMEWHERE IN ENCINITAS

I lived in Cardiff by the Sea for many years prior to the opening of Seaside Market which is now the dealer of Cardiff Crack.  This Tri Tip is delicious.   We took some home to Hawaii thanks to my friend who made us a To Go package complete with Sliced Pickles, BBQ Sauce, Buns and Fried Onions.

A trip to North San Diego is not complete without a stop at Raul's Shack in Encinitas.  The Crunchy Shredded Beef Tacos are my all time favorite.  Filled with delicious marinated beef and loaded with Cheese, Lettuce, Guacamole and Pico de Gallo.  Add the Red Hot Sauce and it is Taco heaven.  Two of these Tacos will fill you up and you will leave satisfied.  Also love the Rolled Tacos with Guacamole and Carne Asada Tacos and Burritos.  My friend always orders the Chicken Soup and loves it more than anything on the menu.  This is one of the best Taco shops on the planet!

The Brigantine is one of my favorite restaurants in the World.  Love the food here and at times have eaten here three days in a row.  There is no other restaurant that gets me back time and time again.  The Fish Tacos here are some of the best in the World and everything on the menu seems to taste good.  Cannot say enough good things about the Brigantine.  ALL TIME FAVE!

We dined with some of my old friends who have been by my side for over 30 years.
