Lagunas Mountains

The setting is tranquil. The cabin is rich in history and charm !
Nestled near the top of the Lagunas Mountains East of San Diego, is this rustic cabin which hosts the Photo Club meeting every year and serves to set the soul free of many of the members while on this awesome journey into the wild !
I have gone several years and found the commune with nature to be priceless. These are just a few pix i have from these times.

Comfort Food

This reminds me of home........................mmmmmmm !!!!

Edible Artisanry !

NOTICE - You really should be sitting in dim lighting and have a glass of some of your favorite wine available to view these delicate sensations for your eyes and soul ! My friend Brandi prepares like a dignitary going to visit a foreign land for the first time. There is drawings, tastings and even the occasional test run in preparation for the sweet treats created by this artisan ! Visually, they are so delicate, but if you are the fortunate few and get the opportunity to view them and even luckier are honored to taste some, you too, will experience culinary ecstasy rarely achieved by mere mortals. Enough of my bugging out -
The next time you have an event and you really want to shower your loved ones with the absolute best. Drop her a note with your idea and watch out. You will be impressed.
Shoot me a line and i'll send her your email.
Oh and she took these pix too ! The lady is talented i tell ya ................
Peace - - -

Take One !

Sometimes, i just want to give my friends a flower, so.............Take One !

More Awesome-Ness from CHOW NOODLE HOUSE

Here are a few more dishes from CHOW NOODLE HOUSE that will keep you going back for more..........

GOLDEN SHRIMP !

Yes, i yelled it. And i'll yell it from the rooftops if i could find one to climb on. The Golden Shrimp at CHOW NOODLE HOUSE are absolutely divine and a sensation in your mouth. Ha, ha, ha...........you still believe that all THAI food is spicy or that it all has peanut butter in it. Arent you misinformed ! You really should try some of our cities most awesome THAI eating establishments and see for yourself that you are missing out on some really fantastic gastronomic treats. It is what i imagine life may have been like in or near the garden of eden because the dishes are all prepared fresh as you order them and the ingredients taste and look like they've been freshly picked out behind the restaurant. Dont visualize that, just go with me here for a moment. At CHOW, the chefs were trained by a chef that formerly attended to the nutrition needs of the Royal Family of Thailand. There is a good chance that the chef knew what was going on ! Look if you will at how the shrimp are delicately held, but not strangled by the delicate crispy noodles !!! Ummm, try the first one without any of the delightful sauce that is ready to dip or drizzle onto the shrimp because you really need to experience the pure essence of the GOLDEN SHRIMP as is first. Then, after you recover from that ecstatic state, please take your time and put just a little of the delicate clear sauce on a noodle and give it a try ! I'll give you a moment to reflect..............
