Grilled Cheese, The Mission & A Petting Zoo
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Yesterday, around 12:30, I found myself in San Juan Capistrano with an hour to spare. I considered all my options: feeding the goats at the Petting Zoo; dining at The Ramos House Café; or visiting The Mission. As I approached the railroad tracks, however, I spotted a new café, Blendz, and walked in to check it out.
Now, I have to admit, I’m sort of going through an anti-fine dining phase. I’m not into the smoked sundried tomato pestos and lemon-basil aiolis right now. Sometimes I just want a sandwich. Anyway, Blendz offers salads, smoothies, paninis, and apart from its “intoxicating champagne dressing” basically keeps things pretty simple. I ordered the kids grilled cheese, made with a combination of Monterey Jack and cheddar, and was very pleased — no tapenades; no pestos; no vegetables. Just plain grilled cheese pressed on a panini machine. Yum.
Let’s see. Not much else too report. Here’s the second article in The Bulletin series: Ten Days
This is just one of many beautiful citrus trees inside the Mission San Juan Capistrano. Tomorrow, the Mission is celebrating the return of the swallows. Come visit!

There is nothing better than a great grilled cheese sandwich 🙂
September 21, 2010 If I had known my article would be displayed on someone’s cupboard, I’d have tried to draw little stick figures on it to make it more attractive. By the way, congratulations on knowing how to spell “cupboard”! There’s a word you don’t see everyday! On the basis of this alone, I am declaring Maryam from Pakistan the most highly educated person at hpathy.com!
