Waffle Ya Real Good

It's the last Sunday Marin Farmers' Market before Christmas. The place was jammin and slammin! The sun was shining down and the temperature was crisp. What a lovely way to spend an hour or so.

Of course I picked up some Meyer Lemons because it's their season and I love the temperamental little guys. We have a couple of lemons on our tree we planted this spring but I need more for my plans. We grabbed a couple bunches of beets to roast for beet salad with Meyer lemon dressing with sprinkles of blue cheese.

I always like to get a little something, something to treat myself for the hard work of shopping. Today we spotted a little white truck with a picture of a waffle on it. It turns out it belongs to Waffle Mania and serves some tasty sweet Belgian Waffles. You gotta get some!

Happy Holidays to All.

The Wintertime Blues

Who says there ain’t no cure for the winter time blues? I just noticed that I haven’t been blogging as much as I like. This time of year days seem to fly by. I just want to hibernate in a warm place and sleep. We are spoiled in Northern California. When the temperature drops into the upper thirties we whine that we are so cold. Tell that to a poor soul in Illinois. He would say that’s springtime weather fool! Listen up people, it’s California Wine not California Whine.

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest I’ll share with you some photos from our family’s thanksgiving meal. I had to work so I can’t take any credit for anything but the photos. My lovely wife and kids put on the Ritz and laid down a beautiful feast. My cure for the blues is simply …Eat your body weight in food every week. Enjoy it now for in January it’s celery sticks and tap water for you baby.

Yes this looks flat because my wife partially deboned it


Acorn squash rings


Green beans with bacon vinaigrette


Spiral cut ham and a big bowl of gravy

Looking at these photos has got me thinking about my next meal. I’ll just head out to the kitchen so I don’t get the blues.
