Tonight we had another Fridate in the city. Sandy brought me to the Cosmopolitan Cafe, where we enjoyed a Ahi & Salmon Tartare appetizer & cocktails. For our entrees, Sandy ordered the pan seared Yellow Fin Tuna while I munched on the Sturgeon special. The shared desert was the Banana Pecan Galette. With full bellies …

Still Fryin’
Not wanting to waste the frying oil from Labor Day weekend. We’ve been frying some more. Today I fried two Turkey Thighs and a couple of Cornish Game Hens for dinner while the Princess relaxed. Now if I ever catch those ground squirrels that been digging in my yard, why I’ll…

Jen & Rick Wed
Rick & Jen got married at Holman Ranch in the Carmel Valley this afternoon. The venue had great views and the food was just wonderful. I have to fly out Monday on a day trip, so I’ll work on the photos as soon as I get home.

Wine Depot
Tonight we met some of Sandy’s former coworkers at the Wine Depot. It’s a small wine shop with an even smaller restaurant in the back. Dinner was excellent! I had bacon wrapped lamb chop.

I have to admit it was thrilling to be in the company of Her Excellency, President Gloria Arroyo. My sincere apologies to my family for chickening out on the dance number. Based on my performance during …
