We’re excited to share the news with you that we were selected as one of America’s Most Captivating Couples of 2013 in GO! Magazine’s The Love Issue. We’re proud to be able to represent San Diego and show the world that love and commitment has no boundaries.
Farmer’s Market
The Hillcrest Farmers’ Market opens every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. We had never been even when we lived three blocks away! It consists of 140 vendors offering a wide variety of locally grown in-season fruit, produce, gifts, arts and crafts and flowers. Just about every booth gives out samples of their product(s). There’s also a great selection of ethnic food in the cooked food area. It’s a great place to get together with friends and try different things. There are vendors selling gift items too. Parking’s pretty crazy so come early. We were lucky enough to be able to park at a friend’s house a block away. It’s a great way to spend your Sunday and feel good about all the people and local businesses that you’re supporting.
‘Tasty Truck Tuesday’
With year-round perfect weather, San Diego offers up a bevy of delicious gourmet options on the food truck front. Every Tuesday night from 6-9 p.m. at 34th and Adams is Tasty Truck Tuesday. Singles, couples, families and even some four-legged family members were there to check out what the trucks have to offer. You can choose one, two, or three different cuisines to enjoy. Your choices are not constricted here! We had a Fat Tuesday meal consisting of catfish, shrimp and French fries from Pearson’s and beef brisket with collard greens and blue cheese coleslaw from Slow Cal BBQ. There’s a band that plays live music near the entrance and a DJ in the back, where some seating is provided. It’s a foodie event that should not be missed. It’s a free all-ages event and, yes, they do take credit cards. For more info visit sdfoodtrucks.com and check out the food trucks for yourself next Tuesday.
‘One Billion Rising’
Feb. 14 we took part in this global event demanding an end to violence toward women and girls. The theatre company, InnerMission Productions, coordinated the San Diego participation with involvement from Eveoke Dance Theatre and many others. We attended the community rally at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park. The event was inspiring and emotional as speakers talked about forgiveness, standing together and demanded a call to action to those that remain passive. It’s incomprehensible that statistically 1 in 3 women will be raped and or beaten in her lifetime. On their Web site you can view videos from around the world in which collectively, women and men used dance to express their solidarity. We can all create change by working together. Women are your mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, girlfriends, wives, cousins, teachers, co-workers, grandmothers, aunts. It’s time to say enough is enough and stand up.
