We also added pork belly to a bunch of the dishes we ordered. And for a good reason! The pork belly at Discretion is amazing. We got the pork belly sliders, a Caesar salad with pork belly and a risotto with pork belly. Deliciousness all around.

Lunch at Discretion Brewing
One of our favorite lunch spots on the coast is Discretion Brewing in Soquel. The small kitchen makes very flavorful, fresh, seasonal dishes, and eating there is a real treat. We like to go right at opening and enjoy being able to get brunch as well as lunch items. Following are some dishes from a recent visit with a group of friends.
One of our friends enjoyed the fried quail with the buttermilk waffles - a tasty take on chicken and waffles.
The charcuterie board was also a hit.
Finally, we got some panna cotta with berries, a lovely way to end the meal.
We'll be back soon!

Andy and I are on spring break this week, and we decided to go on a hike in search of wildflowers; we found some at Edgewood Park, but they weren't in full bloom yet. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful hike.

We started the day with a workout at the gym and then ran a bunch of errands and got my tires rotated; we were reminded by the serviceman that we had them installed exactly a year ago (during spring break) and that they should have been rotated months ago. Oops. In the afternoon, we went to Happy Hour at Rootstock.

I took a yin/yang yoga class in the morning, which was a wonderful way to start the week. In the afternoon, we got some Mochi Donuts at the pop up at Mitsuwa (they make them fresh to order!) - it's not uncommon for people to wait between 1.5 and 3 hours or more, but we got lucky and only waited 20 minutes. They donuts were delicious, especially the passion fruit ones.
