Dining out in Pacific Grove, CA 03-26-14

The food at Asilomar is provided by a vendor which changes from year to year. Right now the food is very good - breakfast, lunch and dinner are interesting and tasty. I only tried the vegetarian offering once and it was good. Not tofu mashed up to resemble - what? I especially enjoyed the wonderful seafood salad for lunch one day - shrimp, scallops, whitefish, and those yummy little squid. Excellent. Usually I go out to the local restaurants a couple times, but this trip Liz and I only went once - to the Red House, my favorite Pacific Grove eatery.

Liz ordered the seafood penne pasta - mussels, scallops, shrimp, salmon.   We always taste each other's selections - there is a piece on my salmon on the rim of her plate/bowl.

We both needed to wear our napkins as bibs since we were going directly to the evening program and didn't want appear "spotted".

My selection was the perfectly cooked salmon with pasta in a sauce, broccoli, cauliflower and a spoonful of tomato/onion "relish" on the top of the salmon.  It was a delicious meal - as have been every meal I have eaten at The Red House  (closed on Mondays).





Quilts exhibited at Back Porch Fabrics, Pacific Grove, CA 03-25-14

These pictures are of the quilts I have currently hanging at Back Porch Fabrics in Pacific Grove, CA. There are just twenty of them and are mostly quite small. I haven't been very productive in the last seven years, since I had an exhibit there before. To see them in a web album go to the link below. The exhibit runs through May 4.

 There are captions on the Picasa Album but Blogger won't let me caption the images here.  Weird!

A visit to Spanish Bay Country Club on 03-13-14 This post 03-23-14



These pictures are from Spanish Bay Country Club which is on a point across from Asilomar State Beach.  The buildings in the far background are at  Asilomar.

The last two players, wearing white, are in the center of the picture.



Closer to the clubhouse there were only two gulls.  Looking for a ball?



The sand traps look like water, the setting sun makes blue shadows and the eye tricks us into comparing the lightness to the bay in the background.  Liz

Liz is looking at the hotel and condos, all with balconies to enjoy the view.



This statue of an older man with a little girl on a bench is very popular for photographs.  See the worn spot made by people sitting on the bench next to the little girl to have their picture taken. The sculpture is by Mark Lundeen www.lundeensculpture.com/words/mark See comments.



We mainly went to the Spanish Bay Country Club to hear the nightly bagpipe player and watch the sun go down.  We missed the piper, but the sunset was wonderful.
