Tanaka Farms

Today k and I went to Tanaka Farms with our MnM’s group. We took a tour on the tractor, which k seemed to enjoy. Too bad she’s not old enough to taste the produce.

Here we are with a green onion.

strawberry plant
Tanaka Farms is famous for their strawberries. This year, however, half of their crop succumbed to a fungus. 🙁 We were still able to sample some of the good ones off the vine. Notice that they plant onions among the strawberries. The odor keeps the bugs away!

banana tree
They also grow organic bananas, although it is too cold here for them to really thrive.

Afterward, we visited D at his office since we were close by. k was able to meet a lot of D’s co-workers.

Five Months!

Yesterday k turned five months old. This past month went by pretty fast. k had her first solid food, turned over from her stomach to her back and learned how to sit up. It is so fun to watch her develop. For those who do not have DSL and could not watch the “first meal” video, here are some pictures of k eating rice cereal. She seems to enjoy her new high chair, which is really a booster seat that straps onto a regular chair–genius!

Cinco de Mayo Weekend

In order to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we ate at Taco Rosa in Newport Beach. It made D’s “top restaurant” list (after some re-tooling, which I am sure he will explain later). We had a pineapple agua fresca (free refills!), Arizona burrito (chicken, spinach, mushrooms), Mexico City enchiladas (chicken), and an amuse bouche (is that how you spell it?) of a mini vegetarian tostada, beef empanada and marinated veggies. k was on her best behavior. 😉

Then we went to Fashion Island. I found shoes at the Macy’s Friends and Family sale (a salesperson was nice enough to give us the discount even though I lost my coupon) and D bought socks.
