Need a pick-me-up?<br />
Visit these local spots for little indulgences that bring me joy.<br />
BY JAIME LEWIS<br />
T<br />
this<br />
summer, my family embarked<br />
on a road trip of outrageous<br />
proportions. We rented an RV and<br />
crossed multiple state lines, some<br />
more than once. We ate ice cream<br />
almost every day. We splashed in<br />
rivers all over the Southwest. We<br />
traveled in steam locomotives,<br />
roller coasters, rafts, and on bikes<br />
around the rim of the Grand<br />
Canyon. Those of us legal to drink<br />
had many beers in many saloons.<br />
It was terrific.<br />
But it stands to reason that, after dining out non-stop, I’m not keen on<br />
writing about restaurants for this column. Instead, I’d like to offer a few of my<br />
favorite little indulgences available in and<br />
around San Luis Obispo right now. Take<br />
a walk and grab a petit quelque chose at<br />
Sheila Kearns Chocolate and Confections.<br />
Or head to the new downtown brasserie<br />
and market, Park 1039, to taste the butter<br />
of kings. Or wind your way to Tiber<br />
Canyon Ranch, where the olive oil and<br />
vinegar elicit rave reviews.<br />
It’s often the smallest and simplest<br />
indulgences—chocolate, butter,<br />
oil—that make the greatest impact<br />
on my senses and bring me the most<br />
enjoyment. I hope these will delight<br />
you, too. Buon appetito! >><br />
