She's an amazing person to chat with and has a great eye for food and design. Check out her beautiful blog and say hello!<br /><br />Oh, and the anecdote about the maternity pants? Totally true.

Their <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajeta">cajeta</a></i> middles were oozing everywhere. It was clear that these wouldn&#39;t survive shipping without refrigeration. Baking them was a moment of overambition borne out of our recent trip to Paris. I&#39;d wanted to bake a cookie that was undeniably French. The cookies were baked and filled, but the cajeta filling was just a little too soft at room temperature.<br><br>It was the day the cookies were to be shipped. Out went couple of panicked emails to <a href="http://www.loveandoliveoil.com/">Lindsay</a> and <a href="http://www.thelittlekitchen.net/">Julie</a> notifying them of the delay and then I had to figure out my Plan B.

I&#39;ve tweeted about it, but if you haven&#39;t seen the tweets, then stay tuned for a surprise. I will definitely do a photo post on the road and I really hope I can do at least one written post, because my destination is one hell of an inspiration.<br><br>I&#39;m leaving as fall sets in. It&#39;s time for hearty meals and <a href="http://sdbw.org/">San Diego Beer Week</a> is upon us. I&#39;m incredibly sad to miss a lot of the festivities, but I had my own fabulous beer + food experience recently and I highly recommend it as a place to put on your must-visit list. If not during Beer Week, then a weekend dinner with friends, perhaps?<br><br></div><a href="http://www.meanderingeats.com/2011/11/weekend-plans-sublime-ale-house.html#more">Read more...</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4774592860931279963-3725069453430404214?l=www.meanderingeats.com' alt='' /></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:4cEx4HpKnUU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?i=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:4cEx4HpKnUU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?i=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?i=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?i=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?a=i3J6oDwS0Kg:jEjRgo4GY9Y:TzevzKxY174"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeanderingEats?d=TzevzKxY174" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MeanderingEats/~4/i3J6oDwS0Kg" height="1" width="1"/>Meandering Eatshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.com0http://www.meanderingeats.com/2011/11/weekend-plans-sublime-ale-house.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-65437692350618460272011-10-23T22:54:00.000-07:002011-10-23T22:54:30.227-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eM5E5MHQasA/TqS9n3qYSJI/AAAAAAAAFCA/yfBBaj12Kck/s1600/Sugar+and+Spice+Apple+Chips.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eM5E5MHQasA/TqS9n3qYSJI/AAAAAAAAFCA/yfBBaj12Kck/s640/Sugar+and+Spice+Apple+Chips.jpg" width="462"></a></div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><i><b>I&#39;m still plugging away on getting things done, but the pieces are slowly reaching completion.

Old Bear, however, accepted the restraint with equanimity. He stood where the leash stopped him and happily barked at the seagulls and sandpipers, looking very pleased with himself when they flew away.

After some debate, we settled on trying Yu Me Ya Sake House in Hillcrest. We had a lovely dinner and that was further evidenced by the fact that, a week later, Dan suggested we return.
