My sister, C and her husband, R were in town over the weekend. Every year for as long as I remember they make a weekend trip to the Del Mar Racetrack with friends. This was the weekend. I texted C on Saturday and placed a $5.00 bet on Zenyatta to win. She was going for 18 wins in a row. She won but the odds were 1 to 5. I won fifty cents.
On Sunday evening they stopped by the house and we had dinner reservations (B's choice) at Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens, a 300+ seat restaurant which features a large outdoor patio and 1-acre of gardens. The restaurant serves a rotating menu of food—concentrating on organic, free-range and local ingredients—and of course beer. It is located in an industrial section of Escondido with no signage. They were quite busy when we got there with tastings and a store for their merchandise. We sat inside and watched them add ingredients to the vats.

R and I ordered the pale ale. For dinner we all had something a little bit different. C had Chicken Schnitzel, B had Chicken Tikka Masala, R had Australian Wagyu Top Sirloin Steak and I had Artisanal Sausage Platter. The cheese soup was pretty good too. The food and atmosphere was great. It was good to catch up and laugh.
Definitely a place we will go back. Good job B.
