| The restaurant steps from the ocean. |
Last night, we drove up the coast to a beautiful restaurant right on the water where the waves were lit by a huge light. The working crab boats could be seen in the distance. It was cold. It was stunning.
Michael's friend Jim with his wife Kathy invited us to their company Christmas party at this restaurant owned by their long-time friend Chuck. We were just at Chuck house earlier in the week which was on 385 acres and featured a real log cabin. A huge log cabin and decks and a swimming pool and horses and cattle. Nice spread.
The dinner last night was also a nice spread! It began with appetizers of strips of tender steak, perfectly cooked calamari steaks, olives and the best fried huge shrimp. Massive quantities. Next came a delicious salad perfectly dressed along with garlic bread with massive amounts of chopped garlic on top then came the crab. Platters of fresh Dungeness crab. This crab was served cold completely infused with garlic and parsley. Lots of garlic. Burn-in-your-mouth garlic. After the crab, came the main course. There was choice of steak and lobster (huge!), Prime Rib (also huge), Chicken Cordon Bleu or halibut. Michael had the Prime Rib and I had the halibut. I couldn't finish it. It was delicious.
My diet? I was very careful and feel good this morning. But, I feel that I stink of garlic within 20 paces! The problem? We have Party #2 tonight! They are going to smell us coming.
Today, I am going to work just a bit in the garden then wrap presents then make some baklava for one of my brother's presents all for shipping tomorrow. Christmas party #2 begins tonight at 6:00 at the Ritz. Fancy.
