Ryan’s Cafe- breakfast

August 7, 2010 Cathy Breakfast/Brunch, Diner, What Cathy Eats!

Ryan's has closed.

This is mmm-yoso!!!, the blog o' food. Kirk, ed (from Yuma) and Cathy like towrite about their eating adventures here. You like to read about said adventures. Here is a small adventure from Cathy.

Hello. There is this hole in the wall place, Ryan's Cafe, which is frequented by USD students and anyone who notices it. It is on Linda Vista Road, one block east of the Starbucks which is at Morena Boulevard. In the same mall with a taco shop and donut place…We have a soft spot in our hearts for small restaurants near colleges, because those are where The Mister and I went on all of our dates when we were at University, before we married.
The banners advertising the specials get you in, then there are more selections on the board behind the register…
We decided to try one of the breakfast specials:
Bacon, eggs and pancakes, $4.50. Two slices of thin crispy yet flavorful bacon, two fluffy fresh scrambled eggs, excellent pancakes, fluffy and with crispy edges and with a sweetness that did not need syrup.
I was in a no-meat mode and chose the breakfast pita ($5.45). I like the flatbread here- very fresh and thick. The 'pita' bread is topped with a good amount of Provolone cheese, which really gives it flavor, especially when melted (not unlike when you get Provolone on a pizza…another post). The egg is topped with sauteed onions and green peppers and this combination of flavors is just perfect for me.

If you are in the neighborhood, do stop in- breakfast is served all day. So are fresh fruit yogurt smoothies. A good portion of the food is Middle Eastern (Gyros, schawarma, hummus and yogurt based sauces) and there are lots of vegetarian selections and any of the items served on a pita will be a good choice. Students at USD know that Ryan's delivers.

Apollonia Greek Bistro- UTC

August 5, 2010 Cathy Blog

Hi this is the mmm-yoso!!! food blog. Postings here are about food consumed by the Posters: Kirk, ed(from Yuma), Cathy and a few others. Today is Cathy's turn in the rotation.

The other day I didn't feel like cooking, yet did feel like eating. I drove West to the La Jolla area, stopped in at Bristol Farms and decided to finally try Apollonia Greek Bistro, a few doors North. I had had some food prepared by Apollonia at a catered event in 2008. The mental note suddenly had appeared.

We decided to try the Mezedakia ($14.49) A two part appetizer platter…
Part one of the appetizer platter, consisting of (the hot) Spanikopita and Bourekia. Both made with fresh herbs, Served warm with crispy not in the slightest soggy dough. Fresh spinach. Fresh ground lamb with onion and seasonings. Really nice.
The cold portion of this appetizer (starting at the top and moving clockwise): Sliced cucumber and sliced pieces of an excellent Feta cheese (not salty), taramosalata (fish row mixed with lemon juice, olivie oil, some vinegar and I think mashed potato), yalandji (grape leaves stuffed with rice, tomato, red pepper, mint, onion and pomegranate molasses)(really good) , olives, fresh hummus (not too garlicy), marinated artichoke hearts and Tzatziki (cucumber yogurt dip). Every item was very fresh and of excellent quality.
Of course this was served with fresh, hot flat bread.
We also shared a bowl of avgolemono ($5.49) and a large Greek salad. ($ 8.59) topped with a side of Gyros meat ($3.39). The traditional egg-lemon-chicken broth soup had both rice and orzo in it and was excellent. The salad parts were very fresh (lettuces, tomato, onion, Feta cheese, o;ives, pepperocini) The dressing was based with a wonderful olive oil and fresh chopped herbs and the side of gyros was substantial and had a wonderful lamb-beef flavor, with a few crisp cooked edges which I liked.

Excellent quality. Really nice. Really good.

Taste of Italy- Rancho San Diego. A Sicilian influenced and excellent lunch.

July 27, 2010 Cathy Italian Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is the food blog you are reading. Cathy is writing because the guys (Kirk and ed(fromYuma)) are busy doing stuff, like researching future posts.

Tucked in a shopping mall near Cuyamaca College, next to the Starbucks, in Rancho San Diego, is this. Taste of Italy, kind of a local chain of "A Taste of Italy" restaurants (another location is on University in Hillcrest, on Carmel Mountain Road in Del Mar and also Vesuvio and Etna are owned by the same group; the primary menu items are all Sicilian (a more complex Italian) based). We like the Rancho San Diego because it is open late (midnight M-Th and 2 a.m. on Fri and Sat), it has a bar, televisions in the bar (we watched a World Cup game here one Saturday) and really really good, house made food.

Inside, there are a selection of wines, or you can bring your own and store the bottles, in a locked area with a personalized plaque, as you might on the island of Sicily.

We were here for lunch one day. We could have also ordered brunch (they just started offering brunch on weekends in June, possibly to coincide with the above mentioned World Cup Games.)

Artichoke soup. Made from scratch. Not heavy (no cream layer stuck to your tongue). Lemony and with a bit of heat (jalapeño juice maybe was in it). Excellent and made in house. There is always a great minestrone, I do like trying the soups. The island of Sicily has a subtropical climate and artichokes and eggplant and citrus are easily grown. Most Sicilian dishes are vegetable and seafood based).

A few pieces of garlic bread were brought out- The garlic was complimentary to the soup taste.

I ordered the Classic Antipasto for my meal. Red and green lettuces, fresh pickled mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, olives and rolled mortadella, salami and provolone. This was just the right amount of food for me at lunch. The house made olive oil, balsamic and herb salad dressing (also with a bit of peppery heat) is just right.

The Mister could not decide, but knew he wanted a baked pasta dish and chose the half ravioli half cheese manicotti with the marinara sauce ($14.99). The pastas were tender, house made. The manicotti were very much like crepes and filled with a combination of mozarella, ricotta and romano cheeses. The ravioli were large and overfilled. The marinara sauce, also house made, was very rich in tomato flavor and had just a touch of red pepper heat in it.

You need reservations on Friday and Saturday nights to eat here. It gets very crowded. Because it is good. There are plenty of Italian Restaurants in this part of El Cajon. This is one of the best.

Anthony’s Grotto-La Mesa; “Afternoon For Two” Lunch.

July 24, 2010 Cathy Seafood, What Cathy Eats!

You are reading mmm-yoso!!! and Cathy is blogging. Kirk is working and ed (from Yuma) is in Yuma, rehabilitating. Ideally, they are also eating.

Anthony's is a San Diego institution of Italian inspired fresh fish and seafood items. The Ghio family has owned and operated several versions in the San Diego area for 60 years. There are still a few locations in existence (The Star of the Sea, downtown on the Bay was the "fancy" location; years ago, men could not enter without wearing a suitcoat; now there is a Fishette in the same area and Grottos in three other locations). I have posted a few other times about meals here. The La Mesa 'Grotto' location has a waterfall and cave-like entry.

A surreal decor.
And a lunch special for two for $25.95. It's called "Afternoon for Two". You can start by each getting a cup of red or white clam chowder (the best I've had in San Diego)…
or chose to share the artichoke shrimp dip.
Of course fresh ciabatta rolls and sun dried tomato butter is brought out (the soft, warm bread tastes better with the dip than the dried bread slices shown).

As my main, I chose the baked halibut with a house made milanese sauce-fresh tomatoes dominated, but the onion, garlic and white wine, along with the chopped basil mixed in made it a compliment for the moist pieces of fresh fish. I asked for the house made coleslaw with creamy pineapple dressing as my side-I crave this slaw.

The Mister ordered a plate with broiled salmon and shrimp (there are three *very* large ones kind of on top of each other), topped with a garlic butter. As you can see, he chose rice pilaf as his side.
We did also order beverages. Iced tea-fresh and constantly refilled was $2.50 and a glass of house white wine was $3. The house wine is very good.
Dessert could have been a shared strawberry shortcake or, this. We each got a cup of the best spumoni ice cream I have ever had. Our waitress told us that Dreyers makes it exclusively for Anthony's. Mostly pistachio ice cream, with whole pistachios and vanilla whipped cream…oh there were some cherries and no chocolate. This was *so* good and refreshing. Our table was by the window and had this lovely view of the lake. We had a very nice afternoon.

Wa Okan- for lunch

July 21, 2010 Cathy Japanese Restaurants, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog. This is a post about a lunch Cathy and The Mister enjoyed, while Kirk was working and ed (from Yuma) was recovering (from his broken arm) (in Yuma).

This weekend was another scorcher and apparently filled with events around town. Every establishment that had air conditioning was crowded. The Mister and I had heard that Okan was now serving lunch and we decided we would try to get in there, and if we couldn't, we could always get something at Nijiya, right next door.

Kirk has posted about Okan a few times, even with a post of mostly photos and this is one of a handful of places where Kirk, ed and I have had a meal together.

The entire lunch menu is posted on the Sandwich board out front, but is also on the hand written menu you get when you sit down and are automatically served a cup of cold tea (no ice, just chilled strong brewed tea).
You can order just a "set" for $6.50 This consists of three "tapas"/appetizers (from left, cold Kambucha squash, a silk tofu based spinach carrot salad and a chiled cooked white sweet potato), light pickled vegetables in the center and brown rice with seaweed and a miso soup
Which has a nice amount of chopped vegetables in it.
For an additional $3.50, The Mister chose "ginger pork", which, as you can see, is pork belly, which was cooked in a light ginger sauce and served with the sliced cabbage topped with a kind of ponzu sauce.
For $4, I chose the broiled salmon (which was served with an edge of crispy skin) on a vegetable ragout of sauteed red and yellow peppers, onion and tomatoes.

There was one other possible 'add in' for $4 this day, fried flounder in a ponzu sauce. The menu at lunch is limited, as it would be at home. Cash only at lunch time.

An excellent, tasty and pretty darn healthy lunch in the small ( 16 chairs at tables and 15 chairs at the bar) Homestyle Japanese restaurant in the corner of the mall.

Wa Sushi. Small place. Excellent food.

July 19, 2010 Cathy Japanese Restaurants, Sushi and Sashimi, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is the blog which is never on vacation. ed (from Yuma) is resting. Kirk is also resting. Cathy ate and doesn't rest. She is blogging today.

Wa Sushi used to be Haru-Ya. It's in the same mall with Khan's Cave and Boll Weevil, kitty corner from the Registrar of Voters. A few weeks ago, The Mister and I met to have dinner here and it was so very crowded. We would have to wait. So we walked over to Boll Weevil and had some burgers. The other day I was really craving 'food you can eat with chopsticks" and called TheMister and asked me to try meeting here again. We were lucky: there were empty tables. We noticed the sign out front "All sushi and rolls 40% off". We ordered from the regular menu. The Mister's meal came with an excellent -not salty- miso soup.
We ordered the Japanese cucumber salad($3). Crunchy cucumber, marinated with sweet (sugar) and a light vinegar, this was

excellent. I ordered the Assorted fish salad ($13). This is essentially chirashi, but sliced. Usually chirashi pieces seemto be leftovers and chunks of fish. A large amount of *very fresh* sliced tuna, albacore, salmon, yellowtail on top of mosty iceberg lettuce with a light, soy-ginger dressing. Those 'crunchies' on top are fried pumpkin and very tasty.
The Mister ordered the KinTara Misoyaki ($14). Sea bass, marinated in miso, cooked until the skin was crispy but the fish stayed beautifully moist and flavored delicately with miso. The spring rolls were vegetable filled and fried properly, a light crisp, the California roll was made with real crab. The rice, salad and pickles were all fresh and tasty.

We were almost done and still had the menu on the table and the "40% off all rolls and sushi" sign still had us thinking. So we ordered the "veggie roll" ($7 regular price). Asparagus, avocado, cucumber, cabbage, carrot, fried tofu skin, surrounded with rice and wrapped with soy paper instead of seaweed. An excellent dessert for us. Total bill was $40.55 ($1.50 each for hot green tea, refilled constantly.)

The 2010 San Diego County Fair. Part 2. A taste of some food offered.

June 14, 2010 Cathy Festivals & Events, What Cathy Eats!

Thanks for coming back to mmm-yoso!!! the blog about food, in all iterations. Today Cathy is blogging. Kirk and ed(from Yuma) are reading. Part one of the 2010 San Diego County Fair can be found here .

Well. The Mister, me and our friend, Ms. T went to the 2010 San Diego County Fair. On Opening Day. At the opening hour (which is 11 a.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m on weekends). It wasn't too crowded because the day was quite cool and overcast.
Don Diego is dressed differently than when I saw him before the official opening. He looks more like a chef now. This look fits in with the logo of the Fair a bit better.
When you first walk in, you can see the ferris wheel at the far end of the Midway.
To your left are the various landscape entries.

To the right of the entrance are the various livestock barns.

The Design in Wood exhibits had some beautiful entries this year.

Oh. Then there was the food.

Here is my confession: A few weeks ago, I went to see my doctor for my annual appointment. I was told to not eat or drink anything for 12 hours before the appointment. The prior week was extremely stressful and I worked long hours and ate without thinking about any lab results. On Tuesdays, Popeyes sells their fried chicken 2 pieces for $1.29…I had 4 pieces. With red beans and rice. Large. On Wednesday, I stopped for breakfast at a friend's home. She bought bear claws and jelly donuts from Vons. I had two at her home and took one to go. On Thursday, Arby's $1 menu looked good. Then there was the wine…ANYHOW, I found out that Potassium numbers needed to be *higher* than 3.4 and LDL cholesterol numbers need to be *less* than 100…and that "fasting glucose" is supposed to be between 70 and 99. A higher score is *not* good in most cases. Then, I read the "side effects" disclosure for a recommended cholesterol lowering medication. That scared me. So for about a month now, my diet has been a conscious consumption of food so I can pass thenext bloodletting.

It was simple- lower sodium intake so as to increase potassium levels and eating more fiber and less fat. I am eating nothing artificial or overly processed. Fresh fruit and vegetables at *every* meal or snack. No magic.

My cravings have changed. Most of the Fair Foods had not much appeal for me. Especially the"new" ones. I never much craved sweets anyhow. What I did eat and photograph was just a taste of most of what I will show you.
So. I was very happy with this simple gingerbread cookie from the Gingerbread house, which makes "The World's Best Hot Chocolate"- photo in my previous post.
The hot dog on a stick, covered in hash browns or sweet potato shreds, held no interest for me. Nor did pizza on a stick.

Nor did the rolled tacos, sold at one of at least ten "taco shop" carts on the Fairgrounds.
However, this booth looked good.
The grilled asparagus was excellent. The lemony mayonnaise sauce was a nice compliment. ($6)
This booth has a cute design.
However, another booth dips a slab of vanilla ice cream in chocolate and then peanuts…satisfying cravings for many people (also a bargain at $3.50).
We always enjoy the fresh made pesto at Pignotti's.
The cheese tortellini topped with this sauce was excellent, as always ($6.50).
Three of us did share a blooming onion (~$6)
We also shared the garlic battered mushrooms (~$6)- the mushrooms were very fresh large ones. The batter did compliment them, and with the batter peeled off, the mushrooms were very large and still firm, fresh, white.
We finally found this cart down the "Cinnamon Roll" aisle off the Midway, all the way to the walkway that crosses the horse track to the Youth area of the fairgrounds. I looked at the items ordered by others…
Ended up ordering the "Cheese Crisps" ($8). Because the "Garlic Dippers" and the "Cinnamon Crisps" were kind of the same thing- frozen butter, placed inside a tortilla and then the tortilla deep fried. The garlic one was topped with parmesan and had marinara for dipping and the cinnamon one had some churros and whipped cream. I just didn't want either. The Cheese Crisp costs a bit more than either of the butter selections and basically is a quesedilla cut into strips then deep fried- then topped with a good marinara sauce. (Oh, I had the chocolate dipped bacon last year and loved it; crispy, salty bacon covered in chocolate then frozen and ready to grab and go in a small take out box. There are quite a few small carts which sell water bottles and have a freezer selling the chocolate bacon.). It was good.
The three of us did share the one item I have been buying at this Fair every year since we moved to San Diego. Two cream puffs- one with vanilla whipped cream, the other with a cocoa infused whipped cream and a coffee. The shells are baked in the booth, fresh, crispy and wonderful.
We didn't buy any gadgets or ride any rides. However, I will be going back later this week.

I never found the chocolate dipped pickle cart…and maybe I'll try a fried pop tart. Maybe.

The 2010 San Diego County Fair, Part 1. Before it opens.

June 10, 2010 Cathy Festivals & Events, What Cathy Eats!

mmm-yoso!!! is a blog about food consumed by those of us who write about our adventures surrounding the consumption. Lately, you have been reading about Kirk's China vacation- family, sights and food He and His missus enjoyed. Today He is taking a break. Cathy is writing.

Hi. The 2010 San Diego County Fair will be opening tomorrow, June 11. Once again , I have a behind the scenes look into the set up and what you can expect to see and enjoy this year.

The theme this year is "Taste the fun" and the front gate proclaims this to everyone entering. Don Diego is wearing a tasteful apron embroidered with the Official Fair Logo.

Of course, you know from my prior posts, that I consider the "heart of the fair" to be the Home and Hobby section. Because the origin of County Fairs was for the farmers to show off the fruits of their labor.

This year is no exception, and the entries were submitted for judging a few weeks ago. Spinning and weaving.

Quilts. Various crafts. Collections.

Of course, Preserved foods. I have shown and explained to you the judging of Preserved Foods in prior years and will skip that this year. Let's just say that this year (as you can see on the above entry table areas) there were more than 70 jellies for a single judge, as well as more than 70 jams for another judge and then a few other judges shared canned fruits, vegetables, dried foods, marmalades, conserves, preserves, pickles, relishes, salsas, honeys, syrups, vinegars and (new this year) liqueurs which left all of the judges pretty tired of craving much sweet or canned anything and wanting fresh vegetables and protein packed foods for quite a few days after judging. {The top liqueur has won "Best in Show" for the Preserved Food category.}
Once judged, the items are set up on display, and this is what you will see.

But I suppose you are interested in what delights the food vendors are offering this year…
So I am just going to show you some of the booths which are set up.
These are more or less the 'usual' ones.

The Health Smart menu on this booth has me intrigued…Because I will be eating items from this stand… and this one. All for the sake of mmm-yoso!!!

Again this year there are discounted tickets at the local Albertson's, you can get in free if you enter one of the daily contests and there are free parking lots nearby, with bus service directly to the gate. For more information, see the Official San Diego County Fair website

Sakura at the sushi bar.

May 26, 2010 Cathy Japanese Restaurants, Sushi and Sashimi, What Cathy Eats!, What Ed Eats -You too can be like Ed!

This is mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog. Usually Kirk writes here about food he ate and adventures he had. Cathy and ed (from Yuma) kind of intersperse with their own anecdotal meals, if there is such a thing. Kirk is still 'vacationing' and Cathy is filling in so you will stay interested. She is only a Temp.

Hi. I was cleaning out my memory card and enjoying again a meal I shared with ed (from Yuma) when he drove in (from Yuma) -a three hour drive- in March. We who contribute to this blog think nothing strange of doing such a thing for food. It seems we who blog here all *really* like Sakura. So that was where he and I met up one evening. Here's our meal. (Most of the photos are from ed-many thanks)
We ordered from the regular menu while waiting for our special/omakase (i.e., not on the menu) sashimi plate to be prepared by Kazu, the itamae (sushi chef), who recognized ed when we walked in. From the "Hot" section: spinach with uni. I never had warm uni before. This was wonderful: creamy, salty, rich. (OK, I'll get it out of the way: everything was wonderful.)
Shiokara: salty, slightly sweet, savory squid guts. I've seen it on the menu, never had it before and will order it again. Really good, chewy, not too salty, rich with a pleasant aftertaste.

Agedashi tofu. House made silken tofu,  deep fried. I had a craving for this. Creamy and a little crunchy. ed had never had this before. He liked it too. (The sauce on the bottom is sweet.)

Our special sashimi plate was finished by Kazu and proudly placed in front of us.    The "decorative" mackerel skeleton was to be used later, as were the shrimp heads. This was a selection of the freshest most flavorful items available.   So fresh that those shrimp -drunk with sake- were still alive and moving. Other items on there, tuna, octopus, abalone,squid, mackerel, yellowtail, salmon…
Once we had consumed the shrimp, the heads were whisked away, lightly fried and brought back as part of a miso soup.
We also had ordered some tempura vegetables, which were perfectly fried and not greasy. A nice crunch.   Plus we were eating vegetables in addition to the spinach uni…

The Spanish mackerel skeleton was also whisked away with the shrimp heads, breaded, fried and brought back to our seats in this simple display. Yes, that's the head. With eyes. The crunch of the bones and flavor of fried mackerel was a wondrous, perfect dish. We squeezed lemon and dipped these cracker like pieces in the accompanying ponzu sauce.

At some point, ed and I decided we needed some kind of carbohydrate and the crab fried rice looked interesting on the menu, because neither of us had ever had -or heard of- Japanese fried rice…then there was the crab factor. Kazu grabbed the menu from us, looked at other things available and He also thought that might be a good way to end our meal. So we ordered it. This was wonderful! Who would have thought of Japanese fried rice? You can see the corn, onion and carrots, There was a lot of crab in here also. Fresh and flavorful, a perfect ending to a wonderful meal.

Neither of us had any Sake, although we both wanted it. Hot tea and water were our beverages. I know you are wondering, so here is a photo of the bill.

Izakaya Sakura 3904 Convoy Street 92111 It is in the parking lot with the Original Pancake House, all the way in the back, next to the Recruiting Depot. The door way. The Neon "Open" sign in the window. No other signage.

Nijiya Market- grab and go for a quick meal

May 24, 2010 Cathy Markets & Grocers, What Cathy Eats!

You are reading mmm-yoso!!! the blog about food. Cathy is blogging again today. Kirk is *still* on vacation, as is ed (from Yuma).

Hi. The other day, The Mister and I had about an hour for lunch at the same time and we were in the same area, so we met at Nijiya Market. The first time I had ever gone to Nijiya, I came home and googled it. The first google item that came up was this blog. I started following Kirk and this blog. Way back in 2005. .
Located in the same mall as Sage French Cake, Okan, Shanghai City and Curry House , this Japanese Market sells healthy (mostly all organic) and gourmet foods. We walked to the wall opposite the entrance door, where prepared foods and sashimi are displayed. Yes. I am doing another post about meals you eat where you shop.
I took a warm vegetable croquette (99¢)- mostly mashed potatoes with carrot and peas, rolled in panko and fried and also a shrimp vegetable tempura pancake ($1.99)- onions, green pepper, carrot, squash and small shrimp dipped in batter and fried until crispy.
The mister grabbed a Saki Nori bento box($5.49) with warm smoked salmon, a piece of tempura shrimp with some karage style chicken all on top of laver (a thick piece of seaweed which has a good mineral content) which was on top of organic rice which had some sort of seasoning sauce (not soy) and bonito flakes on it. The rice ended up being very salty fishy tasting; The Mister likened it to anchovy-like saltiness, which he does not like. Of course, I thought it was wonderful.
I chose the Kaisen Chirashi ($6.99)- organic sushi rice,(Clockwise from top) Squid with salmon roe, salmon, octopus, shrimp, scallop(under the shrimp), cooked egg, yellowtail and tuna. The packing includes organic soy sauce, wasabi and ginger packets. You get chopsticks when you are paying at the cash register. To the far left of the grab and go counters, on top of the counter, is a hot refrigerator and the cans of green tea or coffee are very heated through and only $1. A quick lunch we could eat our front at one the the five set up tables in front.
