DINNER AT HOME

I was seeing Instagrams of Spaghetti and Meatballs from a local Italian Restaurant.  The advertising worked because I was craving Spaghetti and Meatballs.  Decided to make my own using Beef, Pork and Veal.  Browned them in a skilled and then let them simmer in my Pasta Sauce for about one hour.

Enjoyed the meal and my Wife just said she wants to eat this same dish again tonight.

Love a simple Spaghetti with Meat Sauce.  Added a little Onion, Bell Pepper, Mushrooms and lots of Garlic to this batch.  Yummy!

GASLAMP DISTRICT

SAN DIEGO, CA 

Cannot say enough positive about downtown San Diego.  The Gaslamp District is just thriving with restaurants and sidewalk cafes.  We tried Trattoria La Strada on Fifth Avenue.  We were seated outside along the busy street.  The patio had overhead space heaters that made it very comfortable.  The staff was friendly and food was just o.k.  We had the Antipasto Toscano ($16).  A few meats and cheese that was presented very nicely.  We split a Cesare Salad ($8).  This was really good.  Fresh and Crispy.  I tried the Linguine Polpettine ($16).  Large Meat Balls that were good but way too salty.  The entire dish was over salted.  My friend tried the Spaghetti Bolognese ($16).  Pasta with meat sauce.  Don't know if I would return to this place.  While I liked the atmosphere, the food just didn't hit the mark.
