I had tomato wraps to use up so I went with mock burritos. Stuffed with ground lamb, grated cheese blend of leftover nobs. topped with green salsa, plain Greek yogurt and diced avocado. Frozen Sangria and red rice. Trying to clean out the frig before we head back to CA.

Loving all your meal ideas this weekend!

Aww, thanks @Rooster!

@corvette_johnny this one is for you :grinning:
Costco had some beautiful sweet meaty huge King crab legs and dungeness crab. We bought 2 King crab legs and 4 dungeness crabs. Mrs. P simply steamed them and we had them with TPSTOB and old bay seasoning :yum: Mrs. P also made a refreshing corn salad on the side. There was so much crab meat in each dungeness crab and King Crab leg that we have 2 dungeness crab left over for tomorrow. I’m sure Johnny could have finished them all off in one meal :grinning:

BF and I had bit of a staycation - went to a tiny town 45 minutes away and spent just the one night. Port Costa, cute as hell town on the water, originally a landing for a railroad ferry, has a hotel that was a bordello in the late 1800s, really incredibly good restaurant next door, and a giant bar in a warehouse (called The Warehouse :smiley:) And that’s about it. Had some beers and caught a live band playing outside on the patio of the bar, then had dinner. We split a burrata salad with wonderful Josey Baker bread, a wedge salad with green goddess dressing (wasn’t very wedgey but delish), and a plate of great fried chicken with biscuits, slaw and sausage gravy. Half the chicken came back to the room with us for the BF’s late night snackage. Gorgeous sunset, many many cocktails at the restaurant bar and then at The Warehouse, view from our room this a.m., and the complimentary honey-buttered cornbread and fresh-squeezed juice from the hotel’s cafe. we’ll definitely be back.

Late afternoon snack for me was those preserved tomatoes I made the other night over garlic-rubbed toast topped with the obligatory runny egg. This may be dinner too.
Hope everyone had a great long weekend, and that the east coasters stay safe and dry!!

They were :yum: There was so much crab meat that we couldn’t eat it all. We had to save 2 dungeness crab for dinner tomorrow. The huge King crab legs averaged $20 a leg, and the meaty dungeness crab were well worth the average price of $12.50 per crab. I think Costco has these sales before each major holiday.

Port Costa! We love Bull Val!eye Roadhouse. How about those prohibition cocktails! Oh, and the fried chicken, the salads, the pork chop, the Olive Oil cake.

But I always worry what would happen if there was a bad fire up in there. Sing!e winding road in and out… Is that just me?

We had never even heard of Port Costa (Crockett yes) until a few weeks ago when I saw an article on it.
