probably bossing around Aunt Bethy. |
it's always cold enough at the beach for a big quilt. |
Fritz and Noelle (David's cousin, Susan's, daughter) play in the sand. |
David had to work and wasn't able to come until Friday. We missed him terribly. You should have seen the reception party in the parking lot when he arrived. And later, they had a big hugging party and it was so cute. We love him!
Every year, David's entire extended family has a BBQ one night at the beach and this year I thought I'd bring a new dish that I am obsessed with. Lela introduced me to her friend, Erin, when I was visiting last time. Her husband is from Denmark and they lived in Copenhagen for the last four years and recently moved to San Diego. They make this fruit salad all the time and said that in Denmark, everyone eats this pretty much every day. It's not really a recipe per say, because they just use whatever is in season, but it is so addictive! All you do is cut up whatever fruit you have (I used strawberries, blueberries, grapes and apples) toss it with freshly whipped cream and stir in finely chopped dark chocolate. I use the Trader Joe's dark chocolate truffle bar. It's not exactly a vegan dessert, but I'm not perfect. :) I do plan to try this with whipped coconut cream. I think that would be delightful!
If there are stairs nearby, Fritz will find them... just like any self-respecting 15 month old should. He's a handful but I love him so much.
We took lots of jogs along the beach and stopped at the nearby park on the beach so Fritz could chase the seagulls around and spill his bag of snacks so they would chase him around and I could be thoroughly freaked out and disgusted. I hate birds, if you didn't know.
On Saturday morning, we took David's parents and sister to Snooze because, well, it's the best breakfast in town.And then on our way out of town we had to stop for lunch at Burger Lounge to get a quinoa veggie burger. Burger Lounge is my favorite burger on the planet and I miss it so much. I will dream of it until the next time I'm in San Diego. The end.
Fritz cracks me up! Indy is sitting on my lap as I read this and he's waving and saying "Elllo Itzzz."
