Happy Thursday! I’m back in Carlsbad for three weeks and the past few days have been just what I needed. I’ve barely gotten on my computer since I arrived on Saturday - recording this episode and prepping the below newsletter is the only work I’ve done this week! The weather has been heaven and I have been eating to my heart’s content at my favorite restaurants in the area. My friend Patti has been with me since I got here Saturday, but today she leaves and I have two friends flying in from Austin to take her spot! I definitely see myself becoming a regular at my favorite restaurants over the next few weeks, as I naturally want to introduce my friends to all of my go-to eats. Tune in to hear what we’ve been up to the first week and scroll down for a visual guide + everything we’ve eaten since Saturday! There’s quite a lot I didn’t share on Instagram just because I haven’t been on my phone much.
