What I ate for lunch yesterday. The spa cafe at the Terranea Resort is known for their Bento Boxes, so that’s what I went for. You pick four items from the menu and they put ’em all together in a sweet spread.

El Hub and I were in the mood to try something new last weekend, so we hit up El Huarache Loco, a Mexican restaurant in Larkspur in southern Marin.

I ordered a hurache (a sandal-shaped corn masa cake filled with beans topped with salsa, cilantro, crema, queso fresco and onions) with nopales (cactus) and a jicama salad (jicama, bell peppers, cabbage and onions with a pineapple vinaigrette).

El Hub ordered the chicken mole “El Huarache Loco.”

We also ordered chips and salsa to share.

Two-second roundup: meh, just okay. El Hub wasn’t crazy about his dish (the sauce to him tasted “off”) and my hurache was pretty bland. I did like the jicama salad. Crunchy and light, and the flavors were on point.

It surprised me that they actually charged for chips and salsa (really, now?). It would’ve been nice if it was complimentary.

I may go back for the jicama salad if I’m craving it something fierce and too lazy to make it myself. Maybe.

It tasted really good. Like regular cauliflower, but milder and slightly sweeter. I threw it into a steamer along with some broccoli, then tossed the mix with capers, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

The purple color faded a little after I cooked it, but it still looked pretty darn purple.

Haaay, boo. DISCO!

(Sometimes I take crazy pics.)

Have a wonderful Sunday, my friend. 🙂

Just a pic that didn’t make the cut for the Brighten Up post. I think I was bending over to pick something up off the floor when the camera accidentally fired… Don’t ask me why I’m making that face, LOL!

I like the movement and the slight blur.
