The above dinner our daughter bought me in the airport as a special treat to thank me for my hard work moving her into her apartment…
Photos of the Sacramento Food Co-op
Yesterday we discovered the Sacramento Food Co-op near our daughter’s new home. What a wonderful place! When first we visited, I thought it was fun that she was wearing my old food co-op shirt from my college days when I was active in the early food movement.
Other Photos from our North Carolina Trip
Here are some of the other miscellaneous photos I took on our trip to North Carolina to see family…
Restaurant Review: City Kitchen
We had a wonderful dinner together at City Kitchen in Chapel Hill. As a special treat I had the swordfish and it was fantastic; it is shown first below. This restaurant is pricey but delicious!
Family Visit to North Carolina Art Museum
We had a wonderful family afternoon at the North Carolina Museum of Art, that started with a delicious lunch at their restaurant (called Iris).
Recipe: Chickpea Stuffed Poblano Peppers
This is a delicious vegetarian meal served with a simple side salad of garden lettuce, avocado and cilantro. You can make the peppers as spicy as you like; we are wusses and use about 3/4 of a tablespoon of chili powder, but I know others that would want more.
Sacramento Food
Above is the most foodie meal I had this week. Also we went out for sushi where I had delicious (cooked) salmon on a bed of avocado…
Sacramento’s Freeport Bakery
We enjoyed this bakery in Sacramento and made phone calls from here to get appointments to see apartments in the upcoming week.
Restaurant Recommendation: Uptown Grill
But amid it all was this delightful oasis of a delicious restaurant that we had stumbled on all because of rumbling stomachs and a tiny sign.
Recipe: Traditional Eggplant Parmesan
I love a good eggplant parmesan, and this one blows the socks off of any I’ve ever had.
Photos of Wet Cabbage Leaves
I was also fascinated with the play of early morning light around and through the wet leaves – so much so that I had to run and get my camera.
Recipe: Summer Squash with Sauce, Pine Nuts & Parmesan
This is a wonderfully delicious vegetarian meal or could also be offered as a excellent family style side dish.

Book Review: Fifty Shades of Kale
I’m not terribly keen on kale, but this beautiful cookbook is doing its best to change that.
Recipe: Tuna Steak Burgers
Obviously, you could serve these traditionally on buns, but I serve ours topped with homemade roasted peppers. It would be good as well topped with a spicy mayonnaise.
