Cucumber martini

Published with Blogger-droid v1.3.5

This is one of my favorite summer drinks now! I tried this cucumber martini at Union Restaurant and Lounge in Aria Hotel, Las Vegas. It was very refreshing. It also helped tame my hunger since it came with half a salad inside. 

Local Mission Eatery

Chilled Corn Soup + Crab (mmm..amazing. must try)

Farm & Market Salad (good. fresh ingredients)

Roasted Goat Pibil (didn't love it. very fatty)

Thanks to another Blackboard Eats (BBE) deal, I got to try Local Mission Eatery last weekend. The deal BBE offered was great - a free bottle of wine with dinner! I expected the restaurant to give us their cheapest bottle of wine but the wine choices were very good. The fact that they offered the best wine as the "freebie" also highlighted their superb service.

In regards to the food, I appreciated the locally grown fresh ingredients but have to say that I wasn't in love with most of what we tried. That is except for the chilled corn soup. This tasted like delicious corn flakes soaked in chilled cream to me. I would go back for a bowl of chilled, creamy cornflakes and another good bottle of wine off course.

San Francisco Summer Walks

Summers are for relaxing, exploring, lots of eating, and wishing the San Francisco fog away. One of my favorite summer time activities is going on walks through the city.  A walk, like this one through Napier Lane,  is one way to explore San Francisco. It's also a great way to ignore the summer blues, which is often a symptom of staycations. Looking at Google Insights for Search  staycation searches rise during the summer.  If you are planning to stay in San Francisco a lot this summer, try exploring the the city through the many free walking tours. Happy walking SF!
