Vegetarian Lab

Yesterday, we made vegetarian food, in our Culinary Skill Development class.  There were tamales as well as roasted tomato and chipotle salsa, from Rick Baylless' restaurant, Frontera.  Then we made falafel from fresh chickpeas, and had it on a pita sandwich with tahini; and finally we made barbecue basted, grilled portobello burgers.  We finished these mushrooms with smoked Gouda, in the salamander.  I have to say, this dish was my absolute favorite!  

For some reason, I forgot to take pictures of this lab.  The picture in your head is probably just about right, though.

I had a great time on my trip to San Diego. I was there in part to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday. In addition to the birthday celebration, I spent lots of time hanging out spending time with my family. We laughed a lot, Ate a lot, and just had a lot of fun together. My sister and I think we might have encountered the ghost that purportedly haunts the Hotel Del Coronado. We went to shop, drink some coffee (the Kate Morgan mocha..named after the spirit herself!), and look around a bit. We took some photos of the "most haunted " room. Later, when we were reviewing these photos on my sister's digital camera, we noticed one that was just a bit different from the rest...see for yourselves:
