I've just come back from a great meetup in San Diego -- TC's very own Ambrosius came into town for family stuff, and so busy-bee organizer OrangeClouds115 spirited him (and us!) away for an evening of lovely gossip and Bush-bashing.
oculus, asimbagirl, San Diego Dem, Ambrosius, (another lady and I've forgotten her dKos name! ACK!), and your humble diarist met up at Terra for dinner. I told OC to ignore what was ordered at the other side of the table and had one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Big words from a Wisconsin Girl!
virgomusic and her fiance joined us later at the aptly-named Extraordinary Desserts. This is a tiny storefront that just does desserts, coffee, and tea. I'm sure OrangeClouds will describe the reaction Ambrosius and I had when we finally 'rounded the corner and saw the dessert case in comments -- "shock and awe" would aptly describe it, but she tells it better. White chocolate caramel macadamia nut cheesecake, a sinful fruit cobbler, a chocolate cake of death, and chocolate mousse eventually made it to the table and consumed with gusto and happy groans.
