We drove up to Sonoma and checked in at the El Pueblo Inn. After a short nap we strolled the downtown area. For dinner, we ate at LaSalette. We started out with an appetizer plate of smoked duck, blood sausage & Spanish ham. For entrees, the birthday gurl had paella and I had flank steak.

Sandy’s Birthday
This year we decided to take some time off to celebrate Sandy’s Birthday. It started out at Bip’s for breakfast where Sandy got the massive princess meal. Next we drove up to Sonoma. More on that later…
Mum’s Day 2009
This year we didn’t have the advantage of having my cousin Jimi the professional chef, so we all had to step up and create a dish for our Mum’s Day 6 course brunch. After all the eating, it turned into a dog day afternoon with all the attention on Koa & Coyote Baker.
Ferry
We took the ferry into San Francisco yesterday to find a doctor to fix Brian’s eyes. We gave up on that and ate at Taylor’s instead. I got my 1st chance to try out my new Canon SX200IS. I like my G10 better.

Ate Ina
Today we were lucky enough to get a visit from Ate Ina. In her honor, I decided to grill a 10lb Rib Roast (2hrs). OMG I think I’m gonna have a meat hangover tomorrow.
Burger
Had a slow day today, so I ventured into downtown Alameda and had lunch at the Burger Meister on central next to the theater. The burger was huge and a bit messy, but it was delicious. I’m still belching up the taste of those garlic fries though.
