Don’t you just love it when you meet someone that you know for sure will be a friend for life? How about when you meet TWO of those people in less than 24 hours?
Skinny Tinis author and new BFF Teresa Marie Howes hooked up with us at Confidential Restaurant and Loft in the Gas Lamp District of San Diego to brew up three of her distinctive low cal Martini’s: Apple, Pomegranate and Coffee Chocolate. Yes, we drank all three and had a ball on camera. Her idea and her book will be a great success. How can you not dig someone that wants to find a dynamic, 150 calorie cocktail?! I really like this gal and could definitely spend more time with her and a bottle of vodka.
Then, there’s one of the greatest guys I’ve ever met, Chef Jeff Roberto (Sushi Jeff) of Sushi on a Roll - check out our video. He was one of the most gracious and entertaining hosts we’ve had the pleasure to work with. Sushi on a Roll (SOAR) is a really cool sushi only catering company. The other groovy feature of his company is his event venue. He designed this place so that he could spend more time with friends and family at his events. All of the folks who attended absolutely adore this guy; and so do I.
We had the most amazing evening learning about sushi and enjoying his fabulous creations. I didn’t do too bad on my rolling technique and my knife skills were so-so;however, my adventurous eating was over the top!! Nato, sea urchin, and saki bombs topped off the night while the morning after began with a serious dehydration situation. No worries; sake, martini’s, odd shaped sea creatures – it’s all good.
Many, many thanks to these two lovely people and to all of the other folks (including a few old friends) who took such good care of us on this journey. I’ll be blogging each and every one in the next few days and we will be posting the videos in the next couple of weeks; so stay tuned for further fun stuff!
Eat Well! Live Well!!
Cheers, Heidi

a movement similar to that of Richard Gere swooping Deborah Winger off her feet and into a life as a wife of a fighter pilot. Although gallant and oozing romanticism, you’ll find that Deborah doesn’t become truly content until her love has retired from the Air Force and taken up a position for American Airlines bringin’ in about $200K per year.
A whisk can also be a cooking utensil used in food preparation to blend ingredients smooth, or to incorporate air into a mixture, in a process known as whisking or whipping.
