Potluck with the girls

At least once a month, my girlfriends and I get together to cook, indulge and loosen the pants~ The picture shown above is our mini caprese salad...plump grape and mini heirloom tomatoes... soft mozzarella balls and fresh basil drizzled with balsamic vinegar, evoo, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Ridiculously delicious!

Our homemade Saturday lunch consisted of a mini caprese salad, guacamole, deep fried tilapia (for our crispy fish tacos), caramelized onions, SPICY salsa and baked chicken (for our chicken tacos).

Seafood paella... arborio rice, jumbo prawns, squid, clams, mussels, crab and peas. Perhaps it was our feast for lunch or our chunky spanish seafood medley...but geezums.... our bellies rivaled women in their second trimester :)

Gaslamp District (San Diego, CA)

A lil' something about us... we like the good life.... hotels with plush bathrobes, room service and yes, the food got'sta be on point. To rejuvenate our bodies from our drive... we ordered oriental chicken wannngs! mmmhMmmm Note: the sauce accumulated at the bottom of the bowl, perfect for double dipping.

For dinner, we found a nice Italian restaurant... we wetted our appetites with fresh caesar salad....

.....and a caprese salad.....

These crabcakes... chunky, plump and full of crabby goodness.

Baked oysters topped with melted cheese...

After a night of partyin' at BeLo.... hopping into a plush bathrobe and ordering room service beat getting out of bed, getting ready and getting food.... so we ordered fresh berries and yogurt for starters... hahah

then we indulged in this heavenly smoked salmon eggs benedict with a side of crisp hash browns and a skewer of fresh fruit to make us feel slightly healthy.

....the food, hotel n' nightlife will definetly bring us back for more.
