I pretty much sat in my house editing the vacation photos all day and had nothing to blog about so I asked Jarin to meet me for dinner so I could chip away at this fabulous list. Lauren had sent it to me a few months ago and I decided that I would try all of the places they listed! For those of you too lazy to click on that link it’s a “50 foods to try before you die” list in San Diego. Some of the items I have had before, some are cocktails and they are all over the county and all sound super yummy. We chose Confidential because it was closest to my place but the menu item they highlighted is seasonal. Ok, next stop was Nobu at the Hard Rock Hotel.

 #15 Yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno. It was pretty tasty, I don’t know about it making this list though. There are a zillion other menu items at Nobu that I would have put on that list. (The black cod for example)

We also had the crispy rice with spicy tuna. They served it a little different. I usually see it with the tuna on top of the crispy rice thingy. I was like, really, you couldn’t have assembled the damn thing for me?

Cod in butter lettuce cups (these are good, but they were a little salty for me.)

Oyster and uni shooter (Fabulous!) I know it looks wretched, but if you love shooters this is a definite must-try.

And the waiter kept pushing us to order the salt and pepper squid so we finally caved and it was actually very good. The best part was that they have happy hour all night on Wednesdays so we got some good deals and remarkably, I did not overeat. Jarin even dressed up because he knew he would be photographed for the blog! haha. Jason also met us out for a beer. He did not dress up.

Becky does my hair and was whining about how I wore a headband the whole time on vacation and why bother growing my hair out if I only wore it pulled back off my face. So here you go my dear, I have blow dried and straightened my hair 3 days in a row now

Meet Jarin’s friend Roger. Roger is a consultant who evaluates companies to see how “green” they are. Hey Roger, marry me! I got the high five for the Earth-Day-Car-In-The-Shop-Due-Dead-Battery-Because-I-Never-Drive-It story. He also loved that I dig through my friends trash and pick out their recycling.
