This weekend had such a high and such a low. I’ll get to it in a sec. First look at this gorgeous new piece of art!! We went to my friend’s show earlier this month and fell in love. And so now it lives in our house. Yay!
Lulaaaaaaa’s. Noms.
It was 80s day at stroller strides 🙂 V rocks any look she tries.
Ok! Let’s get to the good stuff.
I went sailing for a girlfriend’s birthday and it was soooo fun!
Do I look like I belong on the water? I am Moanaaaaaa. JK I’m not. I get sea sick and I had a scopolamine patch behind my ear to keep me from heaving overboard the entire time.
Cheers!
How gorgeous does the city skyline look.
The weather was perrrrfect.
We brought HEAPS of food. Enough for us to be lost at sea for a week, at least. The skipper thought we were bonkers, but then when we plied him with champs and shrimp and cheese and crackers he wasn’t too mad about it.
We docked at Pier 1 1/2 for lunch at La Mar and I could not have felt more boujee. What kind of people sail up to their lunch?
These fools tried to tie us up. But our skipper definitely had to redo it. 😛
This was my first time at La Mar, which offers fancy Peruvian food in the most gorgeous of settings.
We got a bunch of food to share! It was all soooo good.
The Lomo Saltado was the best best best (it’s traditional Peruvian style beef tenderloin, tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, soy and oyster sauce, potatoes, and rice).
We also got two tasting samplers – the cebiche and empanadas. The cebiche tasting had a selection of the most popular cebiches: clásico, mixto, and nikei. All were super flavorful and different. The empanadas tasting had one of each filling: mushroom, chicken, beef, and choclo. And FYI choclo is like giant corn (it looks like hominy).
The Causa Limeña was also darn good. It’s a whipped potatoes dish topped with various ingredients, but we chose the one with Dungeness crab, avocado, quail egg, and creamy aji amarillo sauce. Like whoa.
After lunch we got back on board and hoisted the sails. Not sure if that’s the right term, but whatever.
I got to steer! We went under the Golden Gate bridge and it was beauuutiful.
I didn’t get back home until after the kids were tucked into bed, but I got to kiss them goodnight before I inhaled dinner. I was soooo hungry by the time we got back to Davis and since I knew we had no food in the house I sprinted into TJs on my way back home. I grabbed my fave kale and broccoli slaw salad which I enjoyed with plantain chips and avocado once I was home…aaaaaaand that is the last thing I ate for the rest of the weekend.
I got food poisoning. It sucked. I puked a lot. I slept not at all. And my Sunday and most of Monday were spent in PJs barely functioning. I couldn’t think about or look at food until tonight. So now I’m back!
I’ll post some recipes this week ok?
Ugh—I am so sorry you got sick!! Parenting when you are sick/don’t feel well is sooooooo hard. I am glad you are feeling better!

Oh no!! Do you think this is why?? https://pregnantchicken.com/ready-to-eat-salad-recall/
I didn’t have one of the salads on the list but that’s definitely one of the first things I thought of! I was planning on calling TJs and forgot. Maybe I will just to let them know (just in case?).

Well I’m glad you had such a wonderful day before going down for the count…! You poor thing!! I hope that happened while kyle was in town- I cannot fathom trying to be a functional parent while so sick. If your friends who shared lunch food with you were fine then iit must have been the tjs salad. Ugh!!
Causa limeña is so good! There are so many different versions, and its fairly easy to make
