Feelin' Saucy?

Mai Pham, Lemon Grass Restaurant here in Sacramento, is selling her sauces. I tried it with chicken, bok choy, carrots, onions, garlic, and some chili paste. Very good! Got it at The Nuggett.

Lemon Grass Ginger Chicken

I picked up these spicy sauces at the Oysterville Sea Farms in Washington...Willabay. A bit of the crannie chipotle with a raw oyster is so very luscious. I do believe the marionberry pepper sauce would be good drizzled over brie...on some thin crackers. www.willabay.com to order.

My son took this pic of Oysterville Sea Farm. It was about 2 pm...and I just love this photo.

My 3 year-old granddaughter took this pic all by herself. Not bad!!

My husband, Dave, took this pic several years ago..at Fisherman's Wharf in SF. I added it just because this is how I feel today.

Most pics courtesy of my son Mike http://www.ffphotog.com/ and my DIL, Jenn. Mike took some great landscape photos along the way..one of a waterfall that turned out fabulous. He about killed himself getting the shot, but it's a damned good one. He took some of Oysterville Sea Farm...bet they'd like to have them. I think I'll email and tell them! Below is a nice article about Oysterville Sea Farms from Seattle Magazine.

I wonder if the author, Lisa Heyamoto is the same Lisa who used to work for The Sac Bee?

North Coast Trip...a few pics

Elaina was loving the beach. See how desolate it was?

The water was cold, but we couldn't resist.

My son surprised me with some oysters from Oysterville Sea Farms...and he bbq'd em! Delicious and sooooo good. Their hot sauces are the bomb too! http://www.willabay.com/

Mike made ribs....they were delicious.

Ethan just always looks cute...even with his binky.

I am not feeling well. I came home with a bad cough [thought it was asthma at first] and it has gotten worse...all in my chest, I feel cruddy. Wanted to post a few pics from my trip with the kids to Oceanpark, WA. I'll never forget "Alligator Man" in Long Beach, WA.

Several Firsts...... this trip!

The kids are off to their cure cancer walk...Mike is taking pics. I am here with Elaina today...a girls day today! I am thinking pedicure's for us. Yesterday, her mama went for a mani/pedi and a massage, all by herself. First time in "years" she said.

Ethan kissed me back for the first time yesterday....and even let me hold him. He laid his head back and watched a cartoon with me. Hurray!! I also watched him reach up and open the bathroom door by himself. Hide your cell phones!

Elaina had a difficult bedtime last night...so she came in to my bed and laid with me till she went to sleep. She complained to me about her parents for the first time. Not sure what she was mad about but she was over it this morning. They probably wouldn't let her have a popsicle in bed...those damned parents! :)

Elaina cracked 4 eggs into a bowl this morning and not one shell fell into the eggs! Another first. She decided to add cheese to the eggs...and pepper but that's all. We cooked em up and they were 'licious.

She is helping me make brownies and later this afternoon, she says she wants to help me make the roasted chicken...if she doesn't have to touch it.

I'll be home tomorrow eve. I'll be happy for the quiet...for about 3 days and then "the missing" will begin again.
