Coachella Eats, Actual


After all the planning I did for Coachella, we didn't get around to eating all that much. We had steak and eggs on Friday. Lamb burgers on Saturday. Kebobs on Sunday. We'd come back to the RV at 5am and find one of our friends sleeping so we couldn't fully cook. But the first night we came back and started making grilled cheese and bacon sandwiches. I ate a lot of the quinoa salad and T Chan's tomato salad, but most of my diet consisted of beers, bloody mary's, and more beers.


My favorite part of the whole experience was the IPA tasting we did. I had my friends bring a few different IPAs they liked. Every morning to tried to do a few... but it ended up being Roberto and I who finished them all once we got back to SD. My favorite was the Avatar Jasmine IPA by Elysian Brewing Company that Big Bear Joe brought from Washington. Perfectly well balanced medium bodied IPA with a fragrant after taste.



Another super find was some organic dates grown at our RV park. They were a little dried out from being in a fridge, but they were super delicious when roasted with some bacon grease and seasoned with lime juice and salt. A perfect beer snack to go with our IPAs.
