i just came home from a 2.5 hour drive from ryan’s house in san diego… in the rain. ryan and i drove up there the night before for a happy pre-christmas dinner and present-opening celebration. he’ll be leaving for michigan tomorrow morning to visit his aunt– and won’t be back until after new year’s day. in the meantime, i’ll be running home to simi for christmas and cleaning house… and fighting the urge to rip open ryan’s new george foreman grill and warm some buns. his family gives the strangest gifts.

while in sd today, ryan took me to sombrero’s– that pseudo-famous mexican food hole-in-the-wall that people from san diego always talk about. the food was good– but not quite impressive, since i, too, live in the land of cheap mexican food. it all tastes the same to me. the cool thing about the joint was that they had an array of filled churros. ryan and i opted for the one that looked mashed-potato filled. turns out that it was just sweet cream. i think they overcooked it. still, it was good and crunchy and all sorts of messy with the sugar falling off everywhere. of course, i’m now on the hunt for a chocolate filled one.
