On a sad note we have found out the local Catholic Church is on the list for closure decreed by the Vatican. This was another venue for several great dinners a year. We attend their fish fry and polenta dinner every year. It would be sad to see them go.
We were in Dixon Ca. for a Cinco Cook-Off to prepare for Cinco-de-Mayo. The categories were ribs and Wild card shrimp. This was a small contest held in the parking lot of a Mexican Supermarket; Super La Favorita. This market has a fantastic meat market and I would love to be a frequent shopper but I live an hour away. Here are a few shots of the shrimp entries. This was another tasty bbq judging day.
Ms. Goofy made the most scrumdiddlyumptious biscoff cheesecake. I had to ask what is biscoff? It is a brand name of a unique peanut butter consistency like spread from Belgium. It is does not taste like peanut butter at all. It is made with crushed caramelized biscuits and has caramelized flavor with distinct notes of cinnamon and brown sugar. I say it tastes yummy noodles.
Yesterday was Ms. Goofy's birthday and we went out to celebrate. We went to Prime Steakhouse and Martini Garden in Walnut Creek, California. This place has been open for over a year and it was time to pay it a visit. We were not dissapointed. The staff was great. The ambience was festive and the food was fairly good. If I have any critique, my prime rib was perfectly cooked but the actual serving temperature was a little tepid and not warm/hot. As a whole we had a very nice dinner.
The Crumbsweeper did make an apperance.
