I ended up having some shrimp ceviche and a tuna sashimi salad from the Shrimp Pimp truck. The food was good and I enjoyed going to this since I missed out on going last time I was here due to rain cancellation.
Wednesday I went to a San Diego County Fair in Del Mar, CA [http://www.sdfair.com/]. I had lunch (to-go grocery salad with chicken, raspberry vinaigrette, walnuts, craisins; apple slices; chocolate-vanilla twist frozen yogurt) and then went on a Ferris wheel (the ride gave great views of the fair and nearby ocean, but did not feel so safe) and then a spinning ride. I also checked out farm animals, games, shows, shopping exhibits (from actual baked goods or other items for sale to demonstrations of more major products, such as Vitamix blenders and pressure cookers), and saw both flower and car competitions. There were so many food stands - everything from Italian and Greek to just about ANYTHING fried (brownies, Kool-Aid, Thin Mint cookies...). After the fair, I went to a nearby casino [http://www.valleyviewcasino.com/], where signing up for a free membership card earned me a FREE lobster and other food buffet (nearly $30 value, paid for in the almost 2 hour wait before I actually sat down to eat). There was a ton of seafood, salad items, desserts, Asian foods, and more. I left super full (had some lobster, crab leg, mango sorbet, salad with toppings, some sushi and Japanese salads, white fish, miso soup, fruit...), but it only cost time and tip. :-P
Today, I visited Surfas [culinary supply store: http://www.surfaslosangeles.com/] and some local gun shops near my sister's apartment (just as part of a short walk on a day of nice weather). Later on I may go for my second time to the cool LA Farmer's Market [http://www.farmersmarketla.com/] and who knows what else for my final night in LA for this trip. My flight is tomorrow afternoon.
