I like cooking for my Family,(4 kids including my husband), but I am not an excellent cook (not bad, but not oustanding) so for my friends I usually offer them chocolates from CHuao (www.chuao.com san Diego) or from chocolat Frederic Loraschi (Hershey www.chocolatfl.com) or as well I get them gift certificates (not big) from nice new affordable restaurants in the San Diego Area such as "cavaillon" .....outstanding provencal food or Tapenade in La Jolla.
