for those who dont know, december nights is the holiday season kick off for san diego. balboa park is covered in lights, all the museums are open for free and there are carolers and other christmas type performers.
and then there's the international cottages.
had some of the most amazing food ever. falafel, lentils and rice, grape leaves and fried dough from palestine. flat bread, currey, and stuff i dont even know what it was from inida. and ukrainian sausage and saukraut.
now thats just the food that i single-handedly purchased. the benefit of going in a huge group was munching on what other peeps got. had some sausage and saurkraut and pastery from astria and stew from ireland.
and then lets get to the beverages. super yummy horchata from mexico. then hit up the international spirits.
i was like everyone before me when i approached scotland because i didnt know what hot toddy was either (hot tea, honey, orange, cloves, whiskey). also tried some swedish hot spiced wine and of course jello shots.
yes jello shots. apparently they are native to fineland (actually just the vodka is but what eves)
by this point i was so close to a food coma i couldnt go see any of the museums. also there were so many people there that it was almost uncomfortable.
i couldnt even get my pic taken with the grinch (not santa for a change). too long a line. boo!
but none the less december nights was amazing!!!
