Foodies

The theme for our family Christmas gift exchange this year was Groupon. Cara got a food tour from Paula. Yesterday we went to the lovely island (peninsula, really) of Coronado to taste some of their yummiest delicacies.

Cara waiting to get started.

1st stop was Peohe's for some Crispy Coconut Shrimp.

On to Candela's for cheese and chicken empanadas.

According to Cara, this next stop was the best. We learned all about olive oils and balsamic vinegar at Coronado Taste of Oils. Cara thought it was not going to be good but she loved tasting all of the oils. And there were tons to choose. We picked up some garlic olive oil and a bottle of the violet balsamic. We also got a small scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with amaretto and espresso balsamic. That was very tasty!

Next up was the Fuzziwig's Candy Factory where we enjoyed handmade dark chocolate sea salt caramels. Fuzziwig's was stuffed with every other kind of candy that you can think of!

The last stop was the Bottega Italiana Gelato shop for some caramel gelato. It was super delish. I only wish we could have tried one of the more exotic flavors. 

This was a walking tour so we walked about 2 miles which was nice since we had so much to eat.

I totally recommend it! Thanks Paula!

It is what it is...
Namaste
