california dreaming

As the move to San Diego from the East Coast looms nearer, I am beginning to do more research on the internet regarding important details about my new future home. Like what is the best vegetarian restaurant in the area. There's a refreshingly large number of choices including a noveau comfort food spot called "Spread." Their menu changes everyday and reflects the organic local produce that is available that season- a concept that Ms Kingsolver (see book review a few days ago) speaks at great lengths in her new novel. And with choices like "hibiscus blossom mole" made with "grilled vegetables, corn tortillas, hibiscus essence, rose..." or "chocolate salad"
with "valrhona white chocolate, fresh arugula, rock salt, herbs..." I know the first place I will be stopping for a celebratory feast!! Expect pictures and a review soon, but in the meantime their website can be found at http://www.spreadtherestaurant.com .
