Beach Eats

Can anyone guess my favorite part of vacation?

Seared ahi tuna sandwich on sourdough with pineapple, avocado, bacon and sesame in Santa Barbara.

Macadamia nut pancakes in Manhattan Beach. Ate every morsel.

Anyone?

Fire roll at Oki Doki. Tuna, Salmon, Albacore, Yellowtail, Avocado, Crab, Cucumber, Onion....all wrapped in SOY PAPER. No rice. With the. best. sauce.

Oishii Roll. Wrapped in cucumber. Yum.

Wine tasting in Santa Barbara. Pinot Noir please.

And also...

North Coast Ale sampler at Corks & Crowns. Santa Barbara, I think I love you.

 Don't forget...

Freshest fruit at the Santa Monica Sunday farmer's market.

Chocolate and salted caramel frozen yogurt. Good, but this ain't ice cream.

I even cooked... once. Omelet with sun dried tomatoes, sage, basil, pesto, portabella, colby and brie. Good morning.

Pesto. On fire-crisped bread. After a hard hike = heaven.

And of course my first purchase upon landing in California was... a loaf of bread. Typical.
