San Diego, California

Sitting in the southwest corner of the state, San Diego is where California began, originally claimed in the name of Spain by Portuguese explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. With an average annual temperature of just over 70 degrees, everyday is a good day for a trip to the beach or a farmer’s market. The beaches are everywhere and you are likely to find a market somewhere just about any day of the week—and year-round, no less. The city’s restaurants offer everything from casual takeout to four-star dining, with the fish taco as the local favorite. You haven’t truly experienced eating in San Diego if you haven’t enjoyed one of their deep fried, battered fish wrapped in a corn tortilla with cabbage and sauce.

Baked Pork Chops I

Reviewed on Nov. 20, 2008 by Goldilocks19

I made this as the recipe stated, but I usually sample the gravies/sauces to see how they are, prior to serving. I really needed to doctor this up, because it was very bland. Before serving, I added extra garlic and steak seasoning and a half cup more wine. Otherwise it was way too dull. Once I jazzed it up, I got "Great" responses on the chops. I'm going to keep looking for a better recipe for chops, this one didn't quite cut it.

Chocolate Strawberries

Reviewed on Nov. 21, 2008 by MySweetCreations

This is a no brainer in my opinion. Milk chocolate tastes best and you can drizzle white chocolate on top if you wish. I have been making these for quite some time and they are always a hit at any event, I think because people don't expect it. I put as much chocolate on my strawberries as possible! Mmmmmm....
